Sinan Mansion

Sinan Mansions is the only project in the center of Shanghai that aims to preserve and protect a group of garden houses. It has 51 historic garden houses and a variety of architectural styles including independent garden houses, connected garden houses, independent garden houses with inner courtyards, townhouses, external corridor buildings, new-style alleys, garden alleys, modern apartments, etc. It is a concentration of modern residential buildings in Shanghai.

After checking in at the newly popular Wukang Road, we planned to go to the famous Shanghai old street Sinan Road. We rode along Fuxing Road and arrived at Sinan Road. Compared with Wukang Road, this place is really deserted, and it feels like a has-been star. The main part of Sinan Mansion, Zhou Mansion, is also not open to the public.

Covering an area of approximately 50,000 square meters and a total construction area of nearly 80,000 square meters, it houses a boutique hotel, serviced apartments, corporate residences and commercial areas. It complements the century-old classic buildings and former residences of celebrities along Huaihai Road, becoming the most distinctive landscape in the center of Shanghai, integrating humanities, history and fashion.



This elegant Shanghai environment is dotted with Chinese and international restaurants, high-end retail stores, and more. Art exhibitions and art merchandise with cultural connotations are a key part of the commercial district, and the fusion of art and commerce adds a rich artistic touch to the area.

"There is a kind of life called Sinan" One century, fifty-one garden houses, this is Sinan Mansion.

In the past, this was a place where celebrities gathered, but now it is a good place for people to relax. There are cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, bookstores and other leisure places.



This is also a famous street of historical figures, home to Zhou's Mansion, Sun Yat-sen's former residence, Sinan Mansion, Zhang Xueliang's former residence, Feng Yuxiang's former residence, He Xiangning's former residence, and Mei Lanfang's residence. Compared to the cultural atmosphere of Wukang Road, this place has a more grand feel. Combining the two, I think it's the flavor of Shanghai.

The Sinan Mansions on Sinan Road, originally built in 1920 as a gathering place for the upper class, now stand as a prime example of this architectural complex. It is the only project in central Shanghai dedicated to preserving a collection of garden houses, and it also hosts a constant stream of cultural events and exhibitions. The complex now comprises four functional areas: the Sinan Mansions Hotel, a commercial area with specialty shops, Sinan Mansions Apartments, and a corporate residence.

Sinan Mansion is not only a villa area, it is also a commercial area, while retaining the flavor of the old French Concession and the feeling of old Shanghai. Many people like this place.

I don’t remember how many times I’ve been there, but every time I pass by, I’ll go there for a stroll.

When you come to Shanghai, you must visit Sinan Mansion. Here you can eat, drink coffee, take wedding photos (I saw a couple taking photos here when I was walking around), or stop and listen to the beautiful women singing jazz. What could be more relaxing than this?

Sinan Mansion is a villa area, known as a street museum, but the content filled in is still very thin, and the villa buildings are a bit stereotyped and not very interesting.

The luxurious villa area in Shanghai is only for rent and not for sale, and the prices are staggering.

The villas over there really attracted me. Although both of us are terrible at taking photos, I feel like every shot we take is a painting, so beautiful.

The charm that the house exudes is a feeling that makes you want to own it, rather than the grandeur of an ordinary mansion.

The only project in downtown Shanghai dedicated to preserving and protecting a cluster of garden houses, with 51 historic garden houses

After coming out of Tianzifang, we went straight to Sinan Mansion. Next to Sinan Mansion is Zhou Mansion. I suggest you ride a bike there because there are quite a lot of things to do that day, so you can save energy. But I walked there. To be honest, it is still quite far, but the scenery is nice. European-style buildings and green trees are intertwined on both sides of the road, which is very quiet.

Sinan Mansion belongs to a small building complex, and its architecture is similar to that of Zhou Mansion. To a layman like me, they look the same... But the feeling they give is definitely different. If Zhou Mansion gives people a deep sense of history, then Sinan Mansion is a portrayal of petty bourgeoisie life. The several houses at the door have been rented by restaurants. Walking in, there is a leisurely atmosphere in the clean and peaceful atmosphere. In the innermost part are some older buildings, but they are guarded. It seems that you can't get in, but it should be the main body of Sinan Mansion. You can only take a look from a distance.

Very good... Not enough words...

Sinan Mansion has a bit of a bourgeois feel and is a great place for taking photos.

Now you can go in and see a few restaurants, the environment is very good. Mei Lanfang's former residence is also nearby. I asked the security guard and he said it has been converted into a hotel and is not open to the public.

Separated from the outside world

Has a different style

Spend some time in a bookstore or coffee shop

Or just strolling through it is also nice

Later I learned that this was Mei Lanfang's former residence.

I like the houses and roads here.

I like the tranquility and the scenery here.

The European-style buildings are very suitable for taking photos.

Sinan Road was once Shanghai's most renowned residential garden district, showcasing the essence of modern Shanghai architecture. As the heart of Shanghai's French Concession, strolling here offers a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of the Republican era. The Sinan Mansions still radiate lush greenery and a sense of opulence, yet over a century has passed since those turbulent days of Shanghai.

Different from Tianzifang, Sinan Mansion is more thoughtful and unique, with more grandeur and less petty tunes.

It complements the century-old classic buildings and former residences of celebrities along Huaihai Road, becoming the most distinctive landscape in the center of Shanghai, integrating humanities, history and fashion.

The restored houses in Sinan Mansion are neatly arranged and beautiful, but they inevitably feel more like an exhibition than a place of living. Conversely, the houses along Sinan Road that are still inhabited actually have a more everyday feel.

The Sinan Mansion has now become an open-air museum, hosting book meetups, exhibitions, and the like.

Sinan Mansion is a group of garden houses, which should be inhabited by wealthy people.

The entrance to Sinan Mansions isn't easy to find. It looked close from the subway, according to the map, but since we weren't familiar with the route, it took us 20 minutes to walk. We entered through a small alley off Fuxing Middle Road. The main road isn't clearly marked. It's a great place to relax and stroll. The various villas have been converted into various hotels and restaurants. It was morning when we visited, and it was quite quiet. No one was talking loudly. The occasional chefs or kitchen helpers who showed up simply soaked up the sun before going back inside. The only people taking photos were tourists, both young and old.



If you don't drink, eat or have coffee, and just look at it, you can kill half an hour, because you are just looking at the appearance.

A very stylish place

Garden houses

I really want to live in it in a minute

There are some coffee shops and bars downstairs.

Playing soothing music

Let you indulge in it

There are not many tourists coming here, and the buildings and shops are very unique and worth a visit.

The area on the left is full of cafes and Western restaurants where you can have afternoon tea and chat. The area on the right should be a hotel. I saw someone decorating a house with balloons and flowers that day. It felt like they were celebrating a special day. It was very romantic.

I like this place better than Xintiandi. There's also a weekly Sinan reading club and art appreciation party. There's also guitar music in the small square every Sunday, perfect for arty young people. Sinan Bookstore is also good; it seems newly opened. I didn't have time to read there, but it seems to have a lot of English books.

Sinan Mansion is open to the public free of charge. It is very beautiful inside and is guarded by security guards. Most of the buildings inside have now been converted into high-end Western restaurants.

There were so many people when I went there, and there were people taking pictures on every staircase. If you look carefully, you will find many corners where you can take beautiful photos.

I first came across the Sinan Mansion in the accommodation section of China-TravelNote. I was stunned by the sight of this place costing 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a night. It's true that the gap between people is now greater than the gap between people and dogs. But the Sinan Mansion is indeed beautiful.

Sinan Mansions is the only project in downtown Shanghai dedicated to preserving and protecting a collection of villas with gardens. It represents a concentration of modern residential architecture in Shanghai. Upon entering, it feels as though the design drawings of each building are similar, imitating the architectural style of Sinan Road, with a strong commercial feel.

The scenery is great for taking photos, and there aren't many people, which is what we like.

It is a very Western-style building complex with reporting and reading activities.

Hahahaha, I'm thinking about the last reunion point when my dad comes back

Located in the heart of downtown Puxi, Shanghai, it's adjacent to the elegant Fuxing Park, bordered by the convenient Chongqing South Road to the east, and traversed by the tranquil Sinan Road. It offers a variety of leisure activities and experiences, vividly embodying the beauty and harmony of urban life. The old houses themselves are beautiful, and the addition of the various decorative elements makes them even more photogenic.

Shanghai is a place I often go to. I've been to almost every part of it. This time, when I took my baby there during the May Day holiday, I heard the taxi driver mention Sinan Mansions on the way. He said the environment was no worse than Xintiandi, but the key was that there were fewer people and more locals went there. It was exactly what I wanted, so I went there. It felt really good. There were quite a few people, but still much less than Xintiandi. However, there were relatively few restaurants, and the prices were not as cheap as Xintiandi. Those who go there should be mentally prepared. It's quite pleasant to sit in a small roadside pub and have a beer after walking tired.

A good friend took me there. It's a very tasteful building. It should be considered a social place for the upper class in the past. Now it is a very petty bourgeoisie place.

Every detail of the Sinan Mansions' Western-style architecture exudes meticulous attention to detail. Its 51 French-style buildings embody Shanghai of the 1930s, while the garden houses, imbued with a petty bourgeoisie and Shanghainese charm, house many Western-style restaurants and cafes, perfect for a relaxing break, most of which offer outdoor booths. Numerous films set in old Shanghai, such as "Big City Small Affair," "Lust, Caution," and "Song of Everlasting Regret," have been filmed here. The popularity of "Dad is Back" has further fueled Sinan Mansion's popularity. Following the arrow at the entrance, you're deeply conscious of your purpose: taking photos, strolling, enjoying coffee, browsing designer shops... Beyond these, you'll have no desire to do anything else.

I don't know why I prefer Sinan Mansion. Compared with Tianzifang and Xintiandi, there are fewer people here. There are not many people during the National Day holiday. It is suitable for wandering around. The independent old houses are very charming. There is a wedding going on in one of them. Thinking about it, it was really beautiful to live in a house like this many years ago. However, most of them have become hotels and bars for eating and drinking coffee. This place used to be a concession area, and there are many historical houses around it, so you can visit them together. It is very suitable for people who like old Shanghai buildings.

It's definitely worth a visit, and it's definitely a great place to take photos. The villas are all priceless and beautiful! Some are former residences of celebrities, and some are already restaurants. The average price per person is not low. In such an environment, you can have afternoon tea and watch people coming and going, which is definitely a great experience!

A great place to spend your leisure time in the city, with a cup of coffee and a book

Sinan Mansion is a place for leisurely afternoon tea and good for chatting.

I think it's just okay, nothing fun, just looking at the house

Arriving at Sinan Road, the sight of the sturdy plane trees and the neatly arranged brown houses on both sides of the road instantly transports you back to the 1920s. Finally, you can experience Shanghai's new landmarks at Tianzifang and Sinan Mansions.

I feel like this is a great place for afternoon tea or a party.

The years that the garden house has gone through flow quietly on the cobblestone walls.

It's a great photo spot both morning and night. There's even a Boxing Cat restaurant inside. Prices are reasonable, making it a great place for afternoon tea. Actually, it's also a great place to hang out with a few friends late at night.

Actually, that’s all… Just a group of luxury houses…

Sinan Mansions is the only project in downtown Shanghai that aims to preserve and protect a collection of garden houses. It boasts 51 historic garden houses, and a variety of architectural styles, including independent garden houses, linked garden houses, independent garden houses with inner courtyards, townhouses, veranda buildings, new lanes, garden lanes, and modern apartments. It is a concentration of modern residential buildings in Shanghai.

Sinan Mansion is also called Zhou Mansion, it feels like a villa area

Sinan Mansion looks like a monster at night...

Sinan Mansion can be regarded as the most expensive mansion in Shanghai. It was the filming location of Tiny Times before, so I know it well. It is worth taking pictures or having afternoon tea here.

My trip to the Sinan Mansion was inspired by last year's Mango TV variety show "Idol Coming." The residence is located on a quiet Sinan Road and includes a boutique hotel with a garden villa. It's quite expensive, and modern historical figures like Liu Yazi and Mei Lanfang have lived here.

When you think of "Shanghai's most beautiful road," which one comes to mind first? Undoubtedly, it's Sinan Road. This name, a name that silences the bustling city...

Coming out of Fuxing Park, I passed by Sinan Mansion but didn't go in. The building is quite unique.

The building is beautiful and there are not many people. It is a good place to take pictures and sit down to rest.

It's about a five-minute walk from Exit 5 of Metro Line 10, just past the elevated highway. Although called Sinan Mansions, it's actually comprised of 21 garden villas, part of which has been converted into a hotel. While admiring the beautiful architecture, look out for the small QR codes on some of the building's exterior walls. Scanning them will reveal the history of the villas and the historical figures who once lived there. Unlike Tianzifang and Xintiandi, this area feels quieter, and the Sinan Reading Club regularly hosts events. A visit to Zhou Mansions is a must-see; admission is free and you can enter. My first impression was its vastness, the compact layout, and the bright light. It's a truly worthwhile place.

It is a gathering place for the petty bourgeoisie and a villa-style commercial street. It is particularly charming when the lights are turned on at night.

Sinan Mansions was my first stop. It's the only project in downtown Shanghai dedicated to preserving and protecting a collection of garden villas. Home to 51 historic garden villas, it's a concentration of modern residential architecture in Shanghai. Walking through Sinan Mansions feels like being immersed in a charming historical complex that complements Shanghai's vibrant and inclusive culture. The garden villas are shaded by lush greenery, and a stroll through Sinan Mansions is an unforgettable experience. Located on quiet Sinan Road, the Sinan Mansions Hotel is a key component of Sinan Mansions and a unique garden villa-style boutique hotel in downtown Shanghai.

This is a very bourgeois Western restaurant, packed with foreigners. We had afternoon tea there, sitting by the window, elegant and relaxed. The five of us spent over 700 yuan. Two dim sum sets, a pot of tea, and a bottle of mineral water cost 80 yuan each! There was also a candlelight dinner in the evening.

Next to Zhou Mansion, there is a small villa in the concession, which has now been converted into a tourist attraction. The environment is pretty good and you can enter freely. The restaurant is quite expensive, with afternoon tea costing more than 200 yuan per person.

Looking at the Sinan Mansion building, I felt like I was back in the Republic of China for a second. Architecture is indeed solidified history. In addition, this flower wall is so beautiful!

Now that you're in Tianzifang, if you have time, take a stroll around the area. Zhou's Residence and Sinan Residence are just a 10-minute walk away. After exploring Tianzifang, why not visit the nearby Zhou's Residence and Sinan Residence? Visit the residence of the great Premier Zhou and admire the small Western-style building at Sinan Residence. If you're interested, you can even take a photo. The warm fireplace (though not lit, haha) really brightens my heart.

From Wukang Road, take bus 926 and get off at Huaihai Middle Road/Sinan Road. Follow the navigation and you'll reach Sinan Road. The argument got increasingly heated as we reached Sinan Road. We only visited the section of the street that includes Zhou Mansion, Sinan Mansion, and Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence. Zhou Mansion is free to enter, while Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence is 20 yuan per person. Both are open from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Sinan Mansions - the only one in the center of Shanghai with 51 historic garden houses, is also a great place for taking photos.

Continue navigating to Sinan Mansion, which is also an old-style building. It is good to just look at it. Walking along, I found that Zhou Mansion is also one of the buildings along the way.

Sinan Mansion is located in the core area of Puxi City Center, Shanghai, with a total area of 50,000 square meters. It is adjacent to the elegant Fuxing Park, with convenient Chongqing South Road to the east and the quiet Sinan Road running through it. It is adjacent to the former residence of Sun Yat-sen to the north and the "Zhou Mansion" of the Shanghai Office of the Communist Party of China. It is also home to the modern historical celebrity Liu Yazi.

, Mei Lanfang, and others have lived here. At the same time, Sinan Mansion, Huaihai Road to the north, Xintiandi to the east, and Tianzifang to the south each have their own unique characteristics and complement each other, offering a variety of leisure activities and different experiences, more vividly reflecting the beauty and harmony of urban life. Personal experience: Recommended index five stars; yes, I love this place;

From Julu Road to Sinan Mansions, the starting price is still the starting price. Sinan Mansions is the only project in downtown Shanghai dedicated to the preservation of a collection of garden houses. It boasts 51 historic garden houses, featuring a variety of architectural styles including detached garden houses, terraced garden houses, detached garden houses with inner courtyards, townhouses, veranda-style buildings, modern alleys, garden alleys, and modern apartments.

There are mostly cafes and dessert shops inside. You can walk around and take pictures. It can be regarded as a tourist attraction.

Sinan Mansions is the only project in downtown Shanghai dedicated to preserving and protecting a collection of garden houses. It boasts 51 historic garden houses, perfect for a stroll along Sinan Road. I've seen it before in travel guides, but it wasn't mentioned in them. I went there on my way through. It's quiet and perfect for photos, and there are also some great places to eat.

Sinan Mansion seems to be a rare villa area in Shanghai. It retains a very bourgeois feel. The architecture inside is beautiful, just like the feeling of Shanghai. The stone houses, small stairs and ivy are full of charm.

Like the Zhou Mansion, the Sinan Mansion was a cluster of small Western-style houses within the former concession. Now, they're all high-end restaurants, with afternoon tea sets costing around 200 yuan per person, which is indeed quite expensive. The area below, right next to the Sinan Mansion, is also a commercial area made up of renovated small Western-style houses. The building below is an older structure and now serves as the lobby for the Sinan Mansion's East Garden, a residential complex built next to the Sinan Mansion. Housing prices are expected to be quite high.

Highly recommended! !!! As poor people like us, we must go to Sinan Mansion to see how the rich people at the top of the food chain live. Feel the high housing prices and the unattainable aristocratic life. Hahaha. Those places are very beautiful. Some are open for visitors to visit and take photos. The rest... let the rich people have peace and quiet. Hahaha.

Follow the map and walk for 20 minutes from Xintiandi to reach Sinan Mansion.

Sinan Mansions is comprised of traditional, single-family villas. These buildings, reminiscent of a grand and elegant atmosphere, are now partially converted into restaurants, others into hotels, and even some are for sale. For those with a love for villas, a visit is a must. The staircases, corners, and balconies evoke memories! The detached residential building, restored to its original state after renovation, features a red-tiled roof and ochre shutters, a simple and elegant aesthetic, beautifully complemented by lush trees and creepers. Some tables and chairs are placed outside, where groups of people sit under umbrellas, chatting and enjoying the scenery. It's a quiet alleyway I used to see often. Sinan Mansions is home to many Western-style houses, many foreigners, and many children. Weekend markets are held there, and browsing the original design brands is a truly lively and fun experience. The bourgeois charm of the old villas left over from Shanghai's French Concession will surely captivate you.
