Bund Sightseeing Tunnel


The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is a tunnel connecting the Shanghai Bund and Pudong in Shanghai, China.

Overview

The line has a total length of 646.7 meters, with two stations and 14 cars. Construction started in 1998 and trial operation began in October 2000. The tunnel is a single-hole double-lane tunnel, passing through the upper part of the Metro Line 2 tunnel near the end of Puxi. Various flickering lighting effects are created inside the tunnel.
The passenger-carrying system adopts an unmanned SK carriage imported from France; the system is a fully automatic rail vehicle towed by a cable, and a turning platform is set at the terminal for the vehicle to turn around. There is an overhaul parking lot at Pudong Station.
The project was constructed as a tourist attraction. There are many tourists using it to cross the Huangpu River, although it costs more than tenfold the metro ticket. The tunnel provides a light show; it does not display Shanghai sights. The ride takes between three and five minutes.
