You should know that there are so many people taking photos of Wukang Building!
Organize two positions to avoid the crowd~
1⃣️You can avoid the roadside by standing on the steps at the bank entrance opposite Wukang Building (Figure 2)
‼️Don't use wide-angle, use 2X focal length for mobile phones, and use 50 focal length for cameras
2⃣️The roadside lamppost at the entrance of the Shuangxi Old Shop opposite the bank, the person leaning against the street lamp is very good!
‼️Don't use wide-angle to avoid the crowd. The light in the afternoon is better for shooting Wukang Building

Just back from an unforgettable Shanghai trip! Strolled down the bustling Nanjing Road, then took in the stunning skyline at The Bund. Explored the elegant Wukang Mansion and artsy Tianzifang. Yu Garden offered serene beauty, while City God Temple immersed me in rich culture. Shanghai dazzles at every turn! I would definitely return to this wonderful place at some point in the future. #ShanghaiAdventure #shanghai

No matter how many times I’m visiting Shanghai city, I always failed to visit the Wukang building, until now. The area has been built up around this ‘famous’ landmark, often being used for wedding photos. The underneath area of Wukang has been changed into small cafes and studios. It’s interesting to see how much focus has been put into the area. A worthwhile visit.

The Wukang Mansion and the bear in the same frame are so cute!!!
There are always a lot of people at the Wukang Mansion, and there are many commercial shoots there. In addition to the classic panoramic view of the intersection, I also found various other good shooting spots, such as the spot on the left covered by trees, and the flower bushes next to it. Squatting down to take a picture of the side of the Wukang Mansion is very beautiful, but what warms my heart the most is this little bear climbing the door frame. Stand a little further away, zoom in on your phone or camera, and compress the space to take a picture of the little bear and the Wukang Mansion in the same frame. It's super cute!!!

It has stood quietly through the years, witnessing the passage of time and the changes in the city. On October 26, 2024, when we look at this charming building again, we can almost hear the echoes of history.

Wukang Building in Shanghai China 🤩♥️
#chinatrip
The Wukang Building, which people are crazily chasing after, is actually just an ordinary person's home. When they go there, they feel that there are thousands of people standing at the two street corners below the Wukang Building. The police officers who command traffic are no less than those on the Bund, and more than 80% of the windows are equipped with thick curtains. Thinking that many people share the best viewing positions upstairs, I suddenly feel a little ashamed. Have I become one of them? I hastily took a few photos and quickly escaped the scene

Do you still not know the places in Shanghai suitable for a City walk?
I used to always go to Shanghai, but I never had the time to stop and truly appreciate the alleyways and historic Western-style buildings behind this bustling city. Recently, I came across photos from almost a decade ago, and they still attract me to visit again and again.
This is the WuKang Building, once known as the Normandie Apartments, located at No. 1850, Middle Huaihai Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, at the intersection of five streets: Wukang Road, Xingguo Road, Middle Huaihai Road, Tianping Road, and Yuqing Road. It is Shanghai's first veranda-style apartment building. The WuKang Building was constructed in the 13th year of the Republic of China (1924), and its shape resembles a giant ship.
The WuKang Building is situated at a sharp 30-degree angle naturally formed between Wukang Road and Middle Huaihai Road. In the 1920s, the famous Hungarian architect László Hudec, who lived in Shanghai, cleverly utilized the 30-degree street corner formed by the intersection of the two roads in his overall design. He adapted to local conditions and designed the building's plan in a triangular shape, resembling 'a large ship cutting through the waves.' To solve the issues of lighting and ventilation, two openings were created on the north side.
The building's facade is in the French Renaissance style, with the first and second floors featuring the Southeast Asian common arcade style, where the arches form a long corridor for pedestrians to shelter from the sun and rain. The facade is a cement wall surface, like the base of a lotus flower, with the ground floor exterior wall consisting of continuous arched arcades. The third to seventh floors are made of fair-faced red brick walls, designed with triangular window lintels, small balconies with iron railings, and the top floor's balcony wraps around the entire building's exterior wall. The third floor and the top floor have circular corridors that can serve as fire escape routes and replace the waistline, beautifying the facade. The third-floor facade is decorated with triangular European-style window lintels, and the fourth to fifth floors have some projecting balconies.
