Strolling along Wukang Road in Shanghai

Starting from the Jiaotong University subway station and walking towards Wukang Road, you will definitely notice the Wukang Mansion. Originally named the Normandie Apartments, it is the first building in Shanghai with an exterior corridor design and is recognized as an outstanding historical building in the city. Located at the intersection of five roads, the unique design of Wukang Mansion always catches the eye, making many tourists stop and take photos for a long time. Currently, the first and second floors of the building are occupied by businesses, while the upper floors are residential. Walking along Wukang Road, you can see both sides lined with plane trees, creating a beautiful and lush green scenery. Combined with old Western-style houses and historical buildings, this road has a unique charm. The occasional appearance of bookstores, cafes, and artistic shops adds a lot of charm to the stroll. In addition to the unique street scenes and shops, there are also buildings open for visits: the former residence of Soong Ching-ling, the former residence of Ba Jin, and the Old House Art Center, which offers guided tours on weekends. 📍 Subway: Jiaotong University Station.
