Wukang Mansion: Oh HELL No!!!
-
Sure, here is the translation:
Well, for those who want to visit the WuKang building in Shanghai and take a selfie there, I need to speak up and give you a heads-up!
-
Indeed, this building is quite famous as an old architecture in Shanghai and its appearance is also unique. Many people love to go there for City Walks (a leisurely stroll around the city to experience its atmosphere).
-
However! I must say:
- There are masses of people, so much so that taking a quiet photo is almost impossible.
- IMPORTANT REMINDER: This building is actually a residential building where people are living normally. A large number of tourists gather at its entrance, which may inconvenience the residents inside.
- Dining near the area is quite a challenge. Since the WuKang building is located in a prime position with expensive housing and rent prices, there are very few affordable restaurants nearby.
- Additionally, it’s hard to locate a trash bin in the vicinity. I remember eating an orange and held the peel in my hand for quite a while until I found somewhere to dispose of it.
So, if your sole intention is to take photos of the building’s appearance, it might still work out fine from afar. Nevertheless, if you expect some special experience or hope to casually eat and stroll around there, that might not satisfy your expectations.

I caught someone's shorts in my photo.

I actually prefer the road in the background. It's a bit stark in winter but has a wonderfully artistic feel, and it's even more beautiful in summer.
-
Hey, that's my uncle in the picture!
-
Huh? Just grab one, then.
-
Ugh, those Xiaohongshu guides recommended a citywalk, and it was absolutely packed! What 'walk'? My legs were killing me!
-
It's just one building, what's so fun about it?
-
I don't get it. Feels like there are buildings like this everywhere. Why is this one in Shanghai so popular?
-
I don't get it either. There's a similar one in Kunming.
-
That's not right, there's a trash can right on the right side. I threw a bottle in it today.
-
I was just about to head over.
-
Don't bother going. Honestly, it's super crowded, and getting good shots really depends on your photography skills. Phone pics don't turn out as well as those from a proper camera.
-
As a budget traveler who just follows photo trends, I genuinely feel there's not much to see in Shanghai.
-
It's just one building. I was stunned when I got there.
-
Chinese New Year's Eve.
-
I found out it looks great at night, and there's no one around!
-
I went a few days ago.
-
Hey, are there fewer people now?
-
I went on a rainy day.
-
Wow, that looks great! The photos I took at night didn't turn out well at all; I probably didn't get the angle right.
