Shanghai | Wukang Building · Yuqing Road

Centered around the Wukang Building, this part of Shanghai feels very different. If you're not in a hurry, choose a street and take a city walk! We walked along Yuqing Road towards Hengshan Road. The bare street trees paired with the off-white low houses create a harmonious scene. Occasionally, you can spot a few trees budding with fresh leaves and small flowers. It's easy to imagine how colorful and lively this street must be in the height of summer. #YuqingRoad

Wukang Road

Step into Shanghai's Style Time Machine: Wukang Road & The Bund 🏙️✨ From vintage chic to cosmopolitan sparkle, this duo delivers a snapshot of two sides of Shanghai—perfect for urban explorers and city photographers! Begin with a stroll on Wukang Road, famed for its leafy lanes, historic mansions, and European-style façades. Open all day year-round, this Xuhui District gem is best explored mid-morning when the light is soft and shadows dramatic. Must-do: Sip coffee at a local cafe (try sidewalk seating for people-watching) and hunt for the iconic Wukang Mansion, whose rounded corner is a top Insta-worthy angle. Personal tip: Wander side streets for quieter shots and unique boutiques. Next, hop over to The Bund just in time for golden hour. This waterfront promenade along the Huangpu River boasts colonial-era buildings lining one side and futuristic Pudong views on the other. Must-do: Walk the full stretch to soak up contrasts, and snap a panorama from the broad stone railing—especially magical at sunset when city lights begin to twinkle. For a classic photo, frame the Oriental Pearl Tower and skyline from the north end. My tip: Arrive before dusk to avoid heavy crowds and catch magical lighting. Practical tips: Both spots are close to metro stations; avoid weekends for more peaceful sightseeing. Carry water and wear comfy shoes—both involve lots of walking! And pack extra batteries for your camera or phone; you'll want them for the endless photo ops. #Shanghai #CityWalk #WukangRoad #TheBund #UrbanExploration
