Where is Wu Kang Building? Can you give a brief introduction?

This year, a building in Shanghai caught fire, and the well-known "Wukang Building" among online celebrities, located near the Shanghai Library Station, was rated as the most scenic spot worth punching in. Some people even said on the Internet that if you come to Shanghai and haven't even been to Wu Kang Tower to take photos, then you haven't really been to Shanghai.

Especially during this year's National Day holiday, tourists surrounded the building with great excitement. Even the residents living upstairs came downstairs to see the densely photographed buildings, which surprised everyone. Everyone who comes here to play knows that it is called Wu Kang Lou, but do you know the story behind it?

Here, follow Bian Xiao to learn the story of Wu Kang Tower. Wukanglou originally belonged to Shanghai's "Old French Concession". Originally, it refers to a relatively long and narrow place in Luwan and Xuhui. For Shanghai natives living here, the "Old French Concession" is an old building left over from the beginning, and it was also said by the older generation. The location here is very good and the price is relatively high, so it has become a typical representative of exquisite Shanghai life. In addition to the rich, there are foreigners here. There are relatively more foreign tenants in this area, and the rent is relatively expensive.

What many people don't know is that Wu Kang Lou has a very romantic and beautiful name. It is called Normandy apartment, which has appeared in many TV dramas. For example, "Like You" starring Zhou Dongyu has a scene of street architecture exhibition, in which there is a model of Wu Kang Tower. If tourists go further on this road, they will come to Mr. Ba Jin's former residence. In addition, on the right side of the picture, it used to be the former residence of Soong Ching Ling. Go ahead, it's a famous library in Shanghai. Although it is not an online celebrity store, it also hides many historical stories.

Wu Kang Building covers an area of about 1580 square meters, of which the total construction area can reach nearly 9,275 square meters, including 8 floors with a total height of more than 30 meters. The appearance is a popular Renaissance style in France. Because of the limited geographical location, the bottom of the building also adopts the arcade style.
