The stretch from the iconic Wukang Mansion at the tip of Wukang Road through to Anfu Road and Fuxing Road is arguably Shanghai's most beautiful urban streetscape — plane tree canopies, Art Deco villas, 1930s apartment blocks, and independent cafés create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in China. This is a neighborhood to wander without agenda: duck into a courtyard, find a third-wave coffee shop in a converted villa, or simply sit on a bench and watch the city's creative class go about their day. Wukang Mansion itself is perpetually photographed and the surrounding sidewalk gets crowded on weekends. The real reward is exploring the quieter residential lanes one block off the main roads.
