Shanghai|Trust me, once you visit, you’ll fall in love with Wukang Road

Shanghai has many beautiful streets, but Wukang Road is definitely the most special. Here, you’ll find old roads lined with plane trees, vintage and elegant Western-style houses, and cozy little shops filled with the aroma of coffee. Every step feels like walking into a movie scene, making it perfect for friends who love street photography to spend half a day here. Classic Attractions 📍Wukang Building 🚇How to get there: Take Line 10 or Line 11, exit at Traffic University Station Exit 7, then walk about 500 meters. 💡Wukang Building Trivia: Built in 1924, it was originally called Normandy Apartments and later renamed Wukang Building. It features French architectural style and is Shanghai’s first exterior corridor apartment. The building’s shape resembles a giant ship docked at the street corner, full of French romance with a cinematic vibe. The 30-degree angle formed between Huaihai Middle Road and Wukang Road is rich with Baroque and Neoclassical flavors. Photography Tips: At the intersection of Wukang Road and Huaihai Middle Road, you can capture the building’s complete triangular exterior—super atmospheric! Cafes 📍Wukang Road Café: Classic and cozy, the vintage wooden decor makes it hard to leave. 📍onirii coffee: Has a bit of a niche Japanese vibe, and the window seats are perfect for zoning out. Unique Shops 📍Huo Huo Vintage House (3-5): This shop, run by a toy collector, gives a magical feeling of time travel. The owner is warm and friendly, offering highly personalized recommendations to every customer. Stepping into this store is like entering a small world full of nostalgia. Through a narrow alley, you’ll find this hidden treasure in the city, instantly forgetting the busy reality and entering a space filled with memories, innocence, and unique charm. 📍0a (p6-9): This is a self-owned brand store focusing on fashionable outdoor clothing and various high-quality outdoor gear. Every item is not only modern but also made with carefully selected materials that feel extremely comfortable, showcasing unique texture and design style. Whether for outdoor activities or daily wear, their products perfectly combine practicality and fashion, making them a top choice for consumers who pursue quality living. In summary: Wukang Road truly has a kind of magic that makes you want to come back again and again. Compared to the bustling Nanjing Road, this place is quieter and more full of stories. On an afternoon with shadows swaying under the trees and the scent of coffee drifting from street corners, a casual stroll can lead to a beautiful moment. Even alone, you can enjoy immersing yourself in this romantic street full of vintage and artistic charm. Trust me, once you visit, Wukang Road will become your favorite spot. #FebruaryDestinations2025 #Shanghai #ShanghaiTravel #ShanghaiAttractions #ShanghaiHotSpots #citywalk #ShanghaiCitywalk #WukangRoad #ShanghaiShopHopping

#上海 #武康路 When traveling to Shanghai, these attractions on Wukang Road are worth checking out. Attraction 1: Wukang Road Historical and Cultural Street The numerous garden villas and houses on Wukang Road and its surrounding blocks, as well as the cultural celebrities who once lived here, have contributed to the historical and cultural heritage of Wukang Road. Take Metro Line 10 to Jiaotong University Station, then walk to the intersection of Huaihai West Road and Wukang Road, and start your Wukang Road tour from Wukang Building. There is a "Wukang Road Tourist Information Center" on Wukang Road, a two-story small house facing the street. It uses a variety of physical models and exhibition boards to systematically introduce the main architectural styles and characteristics of the historical and cultural street of Wukang Road. Attraction 2: Wukang Building This European-style building located at the intersection of downtown Shanghai is a landmark building in the historical and cultural street of Wukang Road and is still in normal use. Tourists are not allowed to enter the building at will, but the cafes in the group buildings have a constant flow of customers. Attraction 3: Ba Jin’s Former Residence This garden villa in the city center, where Ba Jin has lived and worked for a long time, is now open to the public for free. Ba Jin's former residence is a European independent garden villa residence with a construction history of nearly a hundred years.

Step into Shanghai's Style Time Machine: Wukang Road & The Bund 🏙️✨ From vintage chic to cosmopolitan sparkle, this duo delivers a snapshot of two sides of Shanghai—perfect for urban explorers and city photographers! Begin with a stroll on Wukang Road, famed for its leafy lanes, historic mansions, and European-style façades. Open all day year-round, this Xuhui District gem is best explored mid-morning when the light is soft and shadows dramatic. Must-do: Sip coffee at a local cafe (try sidewalk seating for people-watching) and hunt for the iconic Wukang Mansion, whose rounded corner is a top Insta-worthy angle. Personal tip: Wander side streets for quieter shots and unique boutiques. Next, hop over to The Bund just in time for golden hour. This waterfront promenade along the Huangpu River boasts colonial-era buildings lining one side and futuristic Pudong views on the other. Must-do: Walk the full stretch to soak up contrasts, and snap a panorama from the broad stone railing—especially magical at sunset when city lights begin to twinkle. For a classic photo, frame the Oriental Pearl Tower and skyline from the north end. My tip: Arrive before dusk to avoid heavy crowds and catch magical lighting. Practical tips: Both spots are close to metro stations; avoid weekends for more peaceful sightseeing. Carry water and wear comfy shoes—both involve lots of walking! And pack extra batteries for your camera or phone; you'll want them for the endless photo ops. #Shanghai #CityWalk #WukangRoad #TheBund #UrbanExploration
