The Bund is a long stone paved walk way that you can do a 360 and see the almost the whole city.
We happened to be there at the right time to witness a guard change.
This building was originally suppose to be 7 stories shorter. They made the foundation and the funding was lost. A new person came along and wanted to make it 7 stories taller so at the time it would be the tallest building in the world. The problem is the foundation was already put down to sustain a shorter lighter weight building. Making the bottle cap top was his solution to get his height but maintain his weight. Genius and now the building is more unique and beautiful too. Now the second highest in the world.
