- Pudong Art Museum Observation Deck: View the illuminated Bund from Pudong, full of ceremony, and end the day's itinerary perfectly. Stay for about 30 minutes.
Notes:
- Check the opening hours and best shooting times of each spot in advance to better plan your itinerary.
- Most spots around the Bund can be reached on foot or by bike; the spots around Xujiahui may require a taxi or metro.
- Prepare suitable photography equipment, such as cameras and phones, and ensure sufficient battery life.
- Pay attention to the weather; both sunny and rainy days can produce different styles of photos, but also take appropriate protective measures, such as carrying rain gear and sunscreen.
- Respect the rules and environment of each spot and take photos civilly.

Wukang Mansion is an iconic slice of Shanghai architecture. Built in 1924 in Xuhui district, it’s the gem of the French concession. But if you go a little further around the corner, you can find equally beautiful tree-lined streets and lanes full of cute little coffee shops.

#meetshanghai
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.

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

There's no other restaurant in Shanghai that serves braised pork belly as good as this one!!
People who work in Xuhui District, you guys are so picky! You didn't even mention this amazing restaurant!
This newly opened local restaurant in Wujie is so good that I have to recommend it to everyone I meet!
After eating at CityEat, you can take a walk in the Citywalk in Wutong District, and visit the Wukang Building and Hengshan Road, which are popular check-in spots! It's so nice!
The restaurant is stylish and elegant, and the service is patient and thoughtful. It's suitable for family gatherings and business banquets.
🍖Braised Pork Belly with Bamboo Fungus and Eggs🍖🍄
Braised pork belly with bamboo fungus and eggs, it's fatty but not greasy, and it's very fresh.
The freshness of the bamboo fungus and eggs perfectly neutralizes the richness of the meat. Every spoonful is full of happiness, and the aftertaste is long-lasting~
🍗Shangyue Immortal White Cut Chicken🍗✨
The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, it's smooth but not greasy. Every bite is the ultimate interpretation of the word "fresh". The secret seasoning is irresistible even to the immortals.
🍄Black Truffle Lily🌸
Luxurious black truffle meets fresh lily, the collision of black gold and white, full of high-end feeling. Simple seasoning, but it brings out the original flavor of the ingredients to the fullest.
🌸Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms🌸🍹
The color is pink and tender, and the taste is fresh. It's as if you're in a peach blossom field in spring, adding a touch of romance to the meal.

5 Days in Shanghai (You might want to miss this one!)
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

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.

Wu Kang Mansion and Any Road
I arrived in Shanghai, eager to explore its vibrant streets. One of my first stops was the iconic Wukang Mansion, a beautiful blend of Western and Chinese architectural styles. As I wandered along Anfu Road, I was captivated by the charming tree-lined avenue, dotted with boutiques and cafes.

An adult's way of healing might be a citywalk
If you can't go far, why not take a citywalk. The wind under the parasol tree brings the long-lost coolness of summer. From the lush green plants to the excellent historical buildings, all are healing elements in this citywalk.
1️⃣Net Green Building
The building covered with ivy looks like a green castle in the anime. Located at the intersection of Yongjia Road and Taiyuan Road, you can take a full view of the building from the opposite corner of the street!
2️⃣Romeo's Balcony
'Then window, let day in, and let life out.'
This Spanish-style balcony is very much like the balcony Romeo climbed up, so it is called 'Romeo's Balcony', which sounds very romantic.
3️⃣Rosa Gallica
A flower shop on Wukang Road, a glass room garden, there will be fragrance testing activities from time to time. Flowers and perfumes have a rock-solid attraction for girls.
4️⃣6️⃣8️⃣9️⃣Sinan Mansion
The Sinan Bookstore in picture 4 is a bookstore transformed from the 25th building of Sinan Mansion. The exterior of the old western-style house and the modern interior design collide to create a brilliant spark.
Pictures 8 and 9 of Sinan Mansion's commercial district, with small and elegant restaurants of different cuisines, is a good place to go for a meal on weekends.
5️⃣Wukang Building
A soul building that citywalk can't lack, like a battleship on land, it is also a popular check-in place in recent years.
7️⃣Antique Garden
An antique shop / coffee shop on Sinan Road, very much like the corner shop where magicians appear in the movie.

| Wukang Road Anfu Road.
Shanghai has many beautiful and romantic old neighborhoods. Under the shadow of the plane trees, all I see is romance.
Today, I'm going to visit the top-notch Anfu Road and Wukang Road. I usually get off at Changshu Road Station on Metro Line 1, exit from Exit 8, and walk for about seven or eight minutes along the road sign to Anfu Road. If you keep going, you'll connect to Wukang Road, and if you walk to the end, you'll see the landmark Wukang Building.
Walking, watching and taking pictures along the way, if you're tired, you can just walk into a coffee shop on the side of the road and take a break, so I highly recommend this route!
