Traveler reviews
Jhonky Satoni
★★★★★2 months agoIn 12 PM, We Visited The Wukang Mansion With My Grandma, Grandpa, My Wife, And My Son. The Wukang Building Is One Of The Most Famous Landmark In The Former French Concession Of Shanghai. Built In 1924, Its Distinctive Wedge Shape Often Draws Comparisons To New York’s Flatiron Building. Wukang Mansion Is An Iconic Landmark In Shanghai, Blending European Architecture With The City’s Vibrant Street Life. This Place Is So Crowded Because This Place Is An Iconic Place In Shanghai. Unfortunately, We Didn't Enter The Building. But Next Time, I Want To Visit This Place Again. Next Time, I Want To Enter The Building.

★★★★★3 months agoWukang Mansion is a total standout in the French Concession, mostly thanks to that iconic "flat-iron" wedge shape that looks incredible in photos. It was designed by László Hudec and has this classic, old-school Shanghai vibe with its red bricks and European style. People flock here because it’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in the city and captures that perfect mix of history and architecture. It's definitely a must-see if you're wandering around the neighborhood!
