Why it is here
West Bund shows the Chinese art market in its own institutional and urban setting. International galleries arrive into a district where private museums, public investment and local collectors have built a cultural corridor rather than an isolated fairground.
Plan it well
Stay near the former French Concession or Xuhui and treat the riverfront museums as a continuous route. Confirm ticket windows close to travel, as detailed public access is published later than the fair dates.
