Starting from a building shaped like an ocean liner, this walk meanders north through the leafy former French Concession and ends at a 1,700-year-old temple. It strings together Shanghai's most elegant Citywalk streets — Wukang, Anfu, Changle, and Changshu — and finishes at Jing'an Temple, compressing nearly two millennia of city history into a single afternoon stroll.
从一艘"靠岸的巨轮"出发，沿着梧桐成荫的旧法租界步行向北，最后抵达一座1700年的古寺。这条线路把上海最优雅的Citywalk街区——武康路、安福路、长乐路、常熟路——串成一条完整的散步动线，再以静安寺为终点，让你在一天之内走完从1924到247年（公元）的时间跨度。

📍 淮海中路1842–1858号 / 1842–1858 Huaihai Middle Road
The "prow" of Wukang Mansion, designed by Hungarian architect László Hudec in 1924👉
武康大楼锐角处的"船头"，由匈牙利建筑师邬达克1924年设计
Built in 1924 on a 30-degree wedge of land where Huaihai Middle Road meets Wukang Road, the building was designed by Hungarian architect László Hudec for the International Savings Society. It was Shanghai's first apartment building with continuous balconies. The original name, Normandie Apartments, came from the developer's habit of naming its Shanghai properties after French regions — Normandy being a peninsula in northwestern France.
Hudec turned the awkward acute angle into the building's signature: a triangular footprint resembling an ocean liner cutting through waves, with two recessed openings on the north side for ventilation and light. An English-language press notice from the time of its opening called it "the Flatiron comes to Shanghai," likening it to the famous New York landmark.
After 1949 it became home to a remarkable cast: film stars Zhao Dan, Sun Daolin, Wang Wenjuan, director Zheng Junli, and actress Wang Renmei all lived here. Sun Daolin's apartment had previously belonged to Kong Lingkan — the famous "Miss Kong" — daughter of Nationalist finance minister H.H. Kung. Wang Renmei filmed Children of Troubled Times while living here, and the song that became China's national anthem, "March of the Volunteers," was first performed full-throated inside this building.
武康大楼建于1924年，由万国储蓄会旗下的中国建业地产公司在淮海中路、武康路口呈30°角的土地上兴建，匈牙利籍建筑师拉斯洛·邬达克（László Hudec）设计，是上海第一座外廊式公寓大楼。它的旧名叫"诺曼底公寓"，因为建业地产在上海的公寓多以法国地名命名，诺曼底是法国西北部的半岛。
由于建在五条马路相交的锐角地块上，邬达克巧妙利用30度街角，把大楼平面设计成三角形，状如"一艘劈波斩浪的大轮船"，并在北面开了两个口子解决采光通风。建成时一篇英文报道直接称它是"熨斗大楼来到上海"——形似纽约著名的熨斗大楼（Flatiron Building）。
居民名册和这栋楼一样精彩：解放后，赵丹、孙道临、王文娟、郑君里、王人美等文化艺术界人士陆续入住，孙道临住的房子原先就是孔祥熙女儿孔令侃（孔二小姐）的寓所。王人美在这里出演了《风云儿女》，主题曲《义勇军进行曲》第一次被激昂演奏就发生在武康大楼里。
2.武康庭 Ferguson Lane
📍 武康路376–378号 / 376–378 Wukang Road
Walk about 500 meters north from Wukang Mansion and look left for a discreet gate with the words "Ferguson Lane" — this is Wukangting. The English name comes from Wukang Road's original name, Route Ferguson, after John C. Ferguson, an American missionary and educator. The road itself was built in 1907 and runs 1,183 meters.
The charm of Ferguson Lane is that it hides. Tucked deep inside a leafy Wukang Road lane, you have to walk through the gate and around a French-style red-brick mansion before the courtyard reveals itself. The red-brick building at No. 376, built in 1928, was once the residence of Guo Taiqi, a former Chinese ambassador to Britain — a three-story neoclassical garden house with exposed red-brick walls.
