About this audio guide
This guide to the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel walks you into a windowless, driverless capsule that costs far more than a subway ticket, imported from France in 1998 to carry riders under the Huangpu River between the Bund and Pudong. It traces why an ordinary river crossing became a light-and-sound spectacle, with zones named things like Time Tunnel and Magmatic Ejection Tunnel flaring past you in the dark. Listen for the moment the capsule turns on itself before the doors finally open.
