"Located in the Hengfu Historical and Cultural Area, the Anfu Road Art District stretches along Anfu Road near Wukang Road. Its core includes the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre at No. 288 Anfu Road (Anfu Lane) and the No.322 Anfu Road complex. The district has long been committed to exploring new models for a dynamic nighttime economy, with a burgeoning cultural tourism and leisure scene flourishing after dark. Within the No. 322 Anfu Road complex, some trendsetting internet-celerity stores such as Déjà vu Recycle Store, BEAST, BM, HARMAY draw the city’s fashion-forward crowds. These establishments infuse the area with cultural depth that are meant to be read, heard, seen, explored, and savored. In recent years, foot traffic has surged in the district, solidifying its dominance in Shanghai’s “street culture” and “street snap” scenes. Locals have come to refer to it as the “center of the universe” and the “Wu’an Ancient Town”—a nickname for Wukang Road and Anfu Road, right in the heart of Shanghai.
On the eastern side of the No. 322 Anfu Road complex stands the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre, one of the city’s cultural landmarks. With a rotating program of high-quality productions, it welcomes tens of thousands of theatre lovers each year. For many art enthusiasts in Shanghai, watching a play on Anfu Road has become a way of life. Set within the Hengfu Historical and Cultural Area, the Anfu Road Art District offers a vivid snapshot of Shanghai’s “World Expo of Architecture.” Nearby stand some of the city’s most treasured landmarks, including Wukang Mansion, the Former Residence of Ba Jin, and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. Together, they reflect the city’s enduring spirit and preserve its cultural heritage.
Driven by the deep integration of culture, commerce, tourism, and sports within the historical and cultural area and buoyed by the brand appeal of nearby Wukang Road, Anfu Road has risen rapidly in popularity. Once frequented mainly by a small circle of theatre enthusiasts, it has now become a “semi-permanent street-snap backdrop” on Xiaohongshu (RedNote), attracting young visitors from across China with a wide range of tastes and interests. The collection of must-see “check-in spots” on Anfu Road has spread widely among a new generation of artistic youth and fashion trendsetters."
