The French Concession

I pass the Normandie Apartments or Wukang Mansion as it’s called now from my day to work everyday,
they redid the outside recently and now also gave the interior a facelift.
Being one of my favorite old french concession buildings, I just thought this requires a post.
And I took some pictures on my day home yesterday for y’all to  see.

Shanghai’s old houses are a true secret treasure, the most beautiful and intriguing once are well hidden.
Like the Garden Houses in 120 Tai’an Road’s Lane.
It’s not only the architecture of the buildings, but also the whole Lane environment, it’s peaceful, green, and unless you try really hard, you don’t see any large buildings around.
