A 1.2-kilometre plane-tree street of 1920s-30s villas and apartment houses, from the Wukang Building at its south end to Huashan Road in the north — the spine of the former French Concession walk. Two house-museums (Soong Ching-ling's is booked and ticketed; Ba Jin's is closed for restoration), a tourist information centre with maps and luggage lockers, and gates with plaques where the famous villas are private. Best done on foot in a morning.
