The French Concession overwhelmed by Korean tourists

I've always loved the non-modern side of Shanghai. The French Concession area, with its literary and artistic vibe filtered through history, is my favorite and never gets old💕 Since Koreans gained visa-free access to China, every weekend has been packed with visitors from Korea. Seeing the scene in person is truly breathtaking🤣 🌟 Young people gather here, spreading out around the Wukang Building. Writing about the French Concession could take three days and nights of continuous posts. From my personal perspective, I recommend just one must-visit spot: "Strolling along Wukang Road." It's like opening a three-dimensional history book blending European architecture, Shanghai-style culture, and celebrity anecdotes~ paired with a cup of coffee, it's stunning! 🏡 Wukang Building One of Shanghai's most famous landmarks, encountering a century-old retro romance. The second floor of the post office opposite is the best photo spot! 🏡 Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence A French-style villa with red tiles and white walls, preserving the living scenes of Soong Ching Ling during her lifetime, witnessing her later years~ 🏡 Romeo Balcony A Spanish-style balcony famous for resembling scenes from "Romeo and Juliet," with a perfect romance score💕 ☕️ Gathering A Chinese wabi-sabi style garden café combining greenery and wooden structures, one of my favorite spots, full of Zen and very elegant! ☕️ Laomai Coffee A trendy retro café. Stepping inside feels like entering an old yellowed movie. I recommend sitting by the window on the second floor to enjoy the leisurely time on Wukang Road! 🍁 Wukang Court A newly developed favorite area for young artists. The red brick archway is a perfect photo backdrop; you’ll also find various snacks like pan-fried buns and Nanxiang soup dumplings. After eating, visit the Songyinli Gallery inside Wukang Court to feel the strong artistic atmosphere here🎨 💯 Extending to Fuxing Middle Road, "Sinan Mansions" consists of 51 historic garden houses, blending French, British, and a mix of history and modernity. Stepping into these old houses instantly takes you back to the Republic of China era💕

#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.

Modern Marvels & Timeless Views in Shanghai 🚶♂️🏙️ Get ready for an urban adventure through Shanghai’s must-see icons, blending sleek skyscrapers, buzzing cultural spots, and riverside romance—all in one unforgettable stroll! Start with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the liveliest shopping boulevard in China (Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District, open all day). Dive into laidback morning walks or prime evening people-watching. Pro tip: Early arrival means fewer crowds and soft sunlight for your shots. Don’t miss snaps featuring modern storefronts framed by heritage buildings—super insta-worthy on a sunny day! Next, head to The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, right by the Huangpu River—open all day), Shanghai’s dreamy riverside promenade lined with colonial architecture and shimmering city skylines. For that epic photo, pose with the futuristic Pudong skyline behind you, especially as day turns to neon-lit night. Take a moment to soak up both the city buzz and gentle river breeze—my personal highlight! Finish by hopping onto the Jinling East Road Ferry (No.141 Bund, open 7:00 AM–9:00 PM) for a unique, budget-friendly way to cross the river. The Ferry offers front-row city views, especially on cloudy or rainy days—the contrast with gleaming glass towers is unreal. Pack a light raincoat just in case, as weather shifts quickly. Quick Tips: Wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be on your feet all day. Plan to visit in the early morning or late evening for magical light and fewer crowds. Always keep an eye out for changing weather! #Shanghai #UrbanAdventure #ModernArchitecture #TheBund #CityViews
