武康路
Shanghai's most beautiful tree-lined street of French Concession architecture.
Wukang Road is widely considered Shanghai's most photogenic street — a 1km stretch of French-era villas, plane trees, indie cafés, and boutique shops in the heart of the former French Concession. Walk it slowly with a coffee.
Take Metro Line 9 to Jiashan Road station. The street runs roughly north–south through the French Concession. Start at the iconic Wukang Building (武康大楼) at the north end and walk south.
