The density of historic villas on Wukang Road is probably second to none in Shanghai. The canopy-like plane trees are telling the legends of the celebrities in old Shanghai.

Wu Kang Road is a small one-way road in Shanghai's Xuhui district. Like some other small roads in the district, Wu Kang Road offers a view of the old-style Shanghai as well as the modern. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from one end to the other at a leisurely pace.

It starts at Huaihai Rd with the historic V-shape Wukang landmark, and ends at Anfu Rd near the Shanghai Drama Institute.

The road is well known for its beautiful trees and old villas. On both sides you will see 'Wutong' trees which come together to form a sort of arc over the road. The old villas and residential areas are one of the road's main tourist features. They are mostly of Spanish and French style. These unique buildings reflect the foreign influence on the city in its time of prosperity.

Strolling along this small road really belies being in a large and modern city like Shanghai.

The road was previously named Route Ferguson, in honor of the American missionary John Calvin Ferguson who was sent to China at the turn of the 20th century.

The area used to be situated within the French Concession and was bordered by western-style buildings. In recent years, many newly built Spanish villas have been built, adding to the road's popularity as a sightseeing spot for tourists.

During the mid 20th century the road was also home to many Chinese celebrities, including the Chinese literary figure Ba Jin, singer/ star Zhou Xuan as well as actor and film director Sun Daolin.

Along the road are other beautiful roads that connect with Wu kang Rd. They have similar striking features and many of which are worth exploring in themselves.

Roads like Wu Kang hold many old memories and reflect the old culture and way of life in the city and offer a glimpse into Shanghai's history.

Wu Kand Road is now recognized as one of China's historical and cultural roads.

武康路是上海徐汇区的一条单向小路。和该区的其他小路一样，武康路既能看到旧上海的风貌，又能看到现代上海的风采。从一端悠闲地步行到另一端大约需要30分钟。这条路以其美丽的树木和古老的别墅而闻名。在道路两侧，您会看到“梧桐”树，它们聚集在一起，在道路上形成一种弧形。古老的别墅和住宅区是这条路的主要旅游特色之一。它们大多是西班牙和法国风格。这些独特的建筑反映了繁荣时期外国对这座城市的影响。

这条路以前被命名为弗格森路，以纪念 20 世纪之交被派往中国的美国传教士约翰·卡尔文·弗格森 (John Calvin Ferguson)。该街区曾经位于法租界内，周围都是西式建筑。近年来，新建了许多西班牙别墅，增加了这条路作为游客观光景点的人气。20世纪中叶，这条路还曾是许多中国名人的故乡，包括中国文学家巴金、歌手/明星周旋以及演员和电影导演孙道临。沿路还有其他美丽的道路与武康路相连。它们具有相似的显着特征，其中许多特征本身就值得探索。像武康这样的道路承载着许多古老的记忆，反映着这座城市古老的文化和生活方式，也让我们可以一睹上海的历史。
