The Quay on the Yangtze?

I wasn't sure what to call this area, but read that
The final stop going down the Yangtze is Shanghai. There are two famous landmarks that every traveler must see in Shanghai – the Bund and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. [I saw them from a distance.] The Bund is the waterfront area, and while you may think that the river is the Yangtze, it isn’t – it’s the Huangpu River. At night, the Shanghai skyline is lit up and is worth a second visit.
Whatever it was called, it was a lovely respite after the museum.
People were jogging, walking their dogs, skateboarding, and generally having a lovely time. There was even a Starbuck's truck (the airstream in the background), where I got a Dragonfruit drink (my new favorite fruit).
The amazing ships that went by created a show of their own. This one looked straight out of a Hayao Miyazaki animation.
This was a lovely slice of Shanghai life to observe.
