TWO STREETS · ONE CONTINUOUS WALK
Follow Wukang.
Turn into Huaihai.
武康路 → 武康大楼路口 → 淮海中路
Walk south from Huashan Road, turn at the Mansion, then follow Huaihai east to Changshu Road. Keep scrolling: both streets are here.
The two streets share one scrolling canvas. Wukang runs from Huashan to the Mansion; after the marked junction the viewpoint turns east along Huaihai to Changshu Road. The Mansion is the same building in both views. The artwork uses maps and architectural photographs; spacing and hidden details remain interpretive.
武康路口 → 常熟路。这是淮海中路的第一段。
Huaihai sources, image dates & credits
The road sequence was checked in Google Maps on 4 October 2026. Architectural references include the Soong Ching Ling Memorial Residence, Shanghai Tourism’s 2022 western Huaihai guide, the local records office’s library study, and the 2021 housing bureau record of Huaihai Building. Each building story links to its historical source.
AI-generated aerial illustrations, made in October 2026 from references spanning different years. They reveal gardens beyond public street views and are not a complete, current façade survey. Ordinary shop fronts, people and traffic are illustrative. Source photographs are research references rather than a published photo collection.

Wukang sources, image dates & credits
The northern and middle chapters draw on Google Maps road-map observations and photographs published by Shanghai Xuhui, Xinmin, Shanghai Library researchers and the Shanghai housing bureau. References include the garden façade of No. 2, the street entrance of No. 63, the documented green-tile restoration of Lane 40, and the 2024 account of the three Hunan junction apartments. Read the apartment restoration account. The ordinary residential fabric is interpreted; these are not a single-date street survey or a complete record of every façade.
The southern block uses Google Maps satellite and road-map observations, the 2025 southern-junction contributed panorama, the Xuhui housing bureau’s account of the Mansion and annex, and Shanghai’s architectural guide for Nos. 390 and 393. The satellite capture date was not displayed. Sources span different years; shops, people and small background details are not a current street record.

The illustrations are AI-generated and change viewpoint and composition; photo-derived adaptations are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0. Research screenshots are not published as a photo collection.
