context_page_description: The Shanghai Bull, the Bund Financial Bull or the Bund Bull are monikers associated with a derivative of Arturo Di Modica's Charging Bull installed in late April 2010 and unveiled on The Bund in Shanghai on May 15, 2010. The 5,000-pound work of art is said to have the same height, length and weight as the New York City Charging Bull. The bull is reddish as a tribute to the country that commissioned the work. It leans to right instead of the left like Charging Bull and has a more menacing tail. The Bull's popularity has been a problem for local authorities.
context_section_description: It is located in the Bund, which is considered to be a location that symbolizes the era of European colonial capitalism in China, and it will be adjacent to the Huangpu River in Shanghai's Pudong district, which is a dynamically growing economic development zone.  The bull is located in a square with four stock price screens across the river from the city's financial district.  The newly opened square is being called Bund Financial Square.
  Like its Wall Street counterpart, the Bund Bull's male genitalia is rumored to produce good luck when stroked.  Pursuit of this kind of good fortune has contributed to the Bull needing to be cordoned off and guarded, unlike the Wall Street Bull. Despite a constant security, visitors attempt to climb the bull to pray for good luck and hang bags on the horns while taking pictures.  Eventually, the cordoning was discontinued due to the strong public desire to be close to the bull.
