Custom House, Shanghai

Custom House, Shanghai

The Custom House is one of the monumental buildings along The Bund in Shanghai. It was designed by Palmer & Turner and built in 1927 but it looks as though it could be from an earlier time.

Behind these gates, on the facade, is a wonderful revolutionary plaque.

At night the clock tower stands out among the buildings of The Bund.
