Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is Shanghai’s symbolic project that has effectively transformed a pedestrian transit tunnel into city’s top tourist attraction. The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel goes under the Huangpu River connecting the Bund and Pudong Area of Shanghai. Presenting a striking display of colourful visual effects, the tunnel is an interesting mean of public transportation.

The passengers board completely transparent slow-moving driverless maglev carriages that allow them to enjoy 360 degrees views of the surroundings. The six channel surround system amplifies the experience and the sound effects change as the scenery changes.
