Sinan Road is indeed an open-air museum in Shanghai. This restaurant is good, tasteful, and historical. The experience is great.

Historical buildings are an invaluable heritage that can be read and savored. Sinnan Road starts from Middle Huaihai Road in the north and stretches to Taikang Road in the south, established in 1912 and originally named after the French composer Massenet. It is well-known for having been the residence of figures such as Zhou Enlai, Feng Yuxiang, Mei Lanfang, and Liu Yazi. Over a hundred years ago, it found peace under the shade of French plane trees, and today it resembles an open historical and cultural museum, brimming with vitality. History has not strayed far, and the future has already arrived; the plane tree leaves turn from yellow to green, and the red walls and ochre tiles carry the moisture of history. 'A person walking through this space under the gaze of others is enough to constitute a scene of drama.'

The magic city is a place to enjoy flowers | withered branches | by the roadside Spring is approaching, flowers are blooming, new buds are climbing the branches, but there are still some trees sleeping in the winter, stretching their bare branches towards the sky, forming silhouettes. If you are tired of the aesthetic of flowers, why not take a look at the withered branches for a change

The tranquil atmosphere is like a clear spring, cleansing the soul, poetically described as 'plum blossoms falling on the river'. A gentle breeze blows, and a beautiful symphony begins, with the violin piece 'Meditation' playing... Sinan Road was originally named Massenet Road, constructed in 1914. On August 13, 1912, a famous French musician, Massenet, passed away in Paris. To commemorate him, the French Concession Board of Directors named the road after Massenet. The sides of the road are lined with shady French plane trees and exquisite foreign-style houses. As one of the 11 historical and cultural preservation areas in Shanghai, Sinan Road preserves the 'original ecology' of the garden foreign-style houses of that era. Walking on this section of Sinan Road is like returning to those years.

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.

🚗 Sinan Road, originally named Rue Massenet, was built in 1914. Just on August 13, 1912, a famous French musician Massener died in Paris. In his memory, the French Concession Public Bureau named this road Rue Massenet —— that is, Masnan Road. The surrounding area includes the French Park (now Fuxing Park), the Catholic Church of St. Peter to the south, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (formerly the Second Medical University of Shanghai) and Guangci Hospital (now Ruijin Hospital), and the French School (now the Science Hall) and other famous landmarks. 🚗 The road is full of shady French plane trees and exquisite Western-style houses. In addition to the common characteristics of the small roads in the French Concession at that time, Sinan Road also has a unique attraction that is different from other roads: more than 20 garden-style Western-style houses, which have gathered almost all the residential styles of old Shanghai —— It is a living book of urban history. 🚗 As one of the 11 historical style conservation areas in Shanghai, Sinan Road records the 'original state' of the garden Western-style houses at that time: after passing Gaolan Road, all the way to Jianguo Road, walking on this section of Sinan Road, people seem to have returned to that year. The most important thing is that there are few people here, and it's really good for taking pictures.
