Stops in order
Gao'an Road · Kangping Road junction
Starting point. Gao'an Road was Avenue Cohen before 1949 — the westernmost spur of the French Concession. The villas along it once housed French merchants; from the 1990s they became municipal-government family quarters.
Lane 100 Kangping Road
A cluster of 1930s French semi-detached villas — bare red brick, wooden louvres. The entire lane is municipally protected; no street-level shops have ever been allowed. Best light at sunset.
Lane 190 Yuqing Road · Zou Taofen's residence
Journalist Zou Taofen ran Life Weekly here from 1934 until the Nationalists shut it down. A three-storey Spanish-style villa; the second-floor study is kept as it was. Free, closed Mondays.
105 Hunan Road · Zhou Xinfang's residence
Home of Peking Opera master Zhou Xinfang from 1955 to 1968. English mock-four-storey. The ground-floor wooden practice floor still bears the shallow grooves worn in by his daily training.
26 Fuxing West Road · Ke Ling's residence
Writer Ke Ling lived here from 1959 to 2000 — a three-storey Spanish-style villa. His study on the second floor is where he wrote The Sleepless City. Tickets ¥8.
Gaoyou Road · Fuxing West junction
Endpoint. The quietest corner of Hengfu — villas from 1923 onward remain most intact here. No shops, just shade.
