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💕
