Bund Tourist Tunnel

Bund Tourist Tunnel

Shanghai Bund tunnel. The tunnel connects Shanghai the Bund and Pudong near the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The Shanghai Bund Sightseeing Tunnel crosses the Huangpu River. Taking the subway along the 647 meter long tunnel with changing colors will make tourists feel dreamy.

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel will be designed with underground cooling tower for the first time to keep the environment of Puxi Bund and Pudong Binjiang Avenue coordinated and complete. Inside the tunnel, various strange colors created by high-tech means are constantly changing. Yellow starfish, pink flowers, geometric patterns of different shapes, and all kinds of living creatures on the earth are leaping with the power of life and making people reverie. The passenger carrying system for this dream journey adopts the driverless and environment-friendly SK carriage imported from France. The silver white and transparent carriage has a wide field of vision. At the same time, the music and sound effects sent by the 6-channel high fidelity sound system in the carriage are combined with the changes of the landscape in front of us, which makes us feel a kind of shock.

place

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is located in the diamond section of Shanghai. The entrance and exit of Puxi is located in the north of Chenyi square on the Bund, near the Huangpu River. Pudong entrance is located on the southern side of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, facing the International Conference Center. It is the first river crossing pedestrian tunnel in China, connecting Puxi Bund tourist area and Pudong XiaoLuJiaZui new tourist area, forming the most beautiful scenic line in Shanghai's tourist landscape.

Main tour items

The first is the "time tunnel area". The cracked aluminum plate on the wall of the tunnel and the loud sound of the Explorer hitting the ground indicate that the passengers have penetrated into the stratum and entered the space. In the "vortex area", the light wave rapidly retrogresses, and the optical fiber flashes, turning into a gorgeous vortex. Later, we can see that the rock scene is simulated on the cave wall, supplemented by the psychedelic light scene, and the Explorer is penetrating the rock layer, which is the "shuttle area".

Entering the "magma jet area" near the bottom of the river, there are dazzling lights everywhere, showing the scene of magma boiling and gushing. Here, the color is blurred, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, like a poetic and picturesque dream world.

As the Explorer rises, it re penetrates the strata and rushes into the deep sea. After the "shuttle zone", in the "vortex zone", visitors can feel the Explorer rushing out of the sea and into the blue sky. In the last new "time zone", visitors seem to travel freely in the meteor flying space with explorers. The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is like a rainbow, connecting Puxi and Pudong. It is like a charming link, easily arousing the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River and becoming a beautiful scenic line in Shanghai's tourism landscape.

characteristic

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is another landmark landscape project integrating traffic and tourism functions. It uses space and modern high-tech means to demonstrate and reflect various patterns, scenes and background music, such as people, history, culture, science and technology, scenery, etc. in the tunnel, which makes the river crossing process extremely interesting, entertaining and stimulating, leaving a good memory for tourists. The inner diameter of the circular tunnel connecting the two sides of the Pujiang River is 6.67 meters, and the total length of the tunnel is 646.7 meters. It adopts the most advanced continuous rail automatic carriage transportation system in the world. The whole river crossing time is 2.5-5 minutes, and the maximum transportation capacity is 5000 person times per hour.

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is equipped with 12 escalators and four vertical elevators, two of which are for the disabled. Two sets of lighting systems are adopted in the tunnel: one is the general lighting for traffic period, and the other is the landscape lighting for tourism period, which is combined with landscape decoration and uses various dynamic and constantly changing light sources to create a unique effect. The fire monitoring system, TV monitoring system, transportation control and monitoring system, landscape control system, automatic fare collection system and office intelligent system of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel are automatically controlled by the central control room in Pudong through computer networking, which contains a large number of modern high-tech achievements, making the overall technical level of the project at the leading level in China.

Environmental Science

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel uses high-tech means such as sound, light, electricity and laser to create colorful dynamic landscape in the round tunnel with a diameter of only 6.76 meters and a length of 646.7 meters. Although it takes only 5 minutes to cross the river, tourists will pass through eight scenic spots with different views and connotations. The first is the "time tunnel area".

transport

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel opened on New Year's Day 2001. The person in charge of the management of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel told reporters that as a tourist attraction in Shanghai, its average annual passenger flow is about 2 million person times, and the average daily passenger flow is about 5000 person times. Although many travel agencies regard it as the "transition" and "interlude" of visiting the Bund and Lujiazui scenic spots, most of the actual customers are individual tourists.

There is little difference between the number of tourists in the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel on weekends and in normal times. After entering the tunnel, a sightseeing car similar to a cableway and cable car appears in front of the tourists. Each car can take about 10 people, but generally there are only six or seven tourists in each car. There are few crowded scenes like subway cars. The sightseeing bus has just been driving for a long time. There are laser beams in the dark tunnel, which is a bit dazzling. Although the relevant commentary will be broadcast from time to time in the car horn, tourists often can't hear the commentary clearly. This tunnel is relatively narrow. At most, seven or eight people can stand side by side. The speed of the sightseeing bus is not fast, which is about the same as that of an ordinary bicycle. In about five minutes, the sightseeing bus will arrive at the exit of Lujiazui.

problem

It's 50 yuan / person for a one-way sightseeing car and 70 yuan / person for a round trip. As a scenic spot, the ticket price is hard for tourists to accept. As a public transportation tool, the price is too high to be worth it. The second is the capacity, and the "shape" of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is relatively small.

Underwater construction is different from that on land. Given the "physique" of the tunnel, it is impossible to break the wall and expand its capacity. There were plans to transform the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel into a pedestrian passage. In this regard, Xu Daofang thinks that it is also not feasible, because when the sightseeing tunnel was built, the investment cost was very high, and the railway tracks, sightseeing vehicles and other equipment were all customized. Once they were "retired", there would be no place to use them in other places. Therefore, it would be too wasteful if the railway tracks were removed and replaced with pedestrian passageways.

There are 14 sightseeing buses in the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel, which operate from 8:00 to 22:00 every day. If the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel really wants to share the worries of the river crossing traffic during peak hours in the future, it obviously needs to increase the frequency. But if tourists can cross the river by subway, it only costs 3 yuan.
