Anfu Road is an 850-meter-long, tree-lined street in Shanghai's former French Concession, running between Changshu Road in the east and Wukang Road in the west. Laid out in 1915 and originally named Route Dupleix, the avenue preserves a mix of early twentieth-century garden villas, lane housing, and cultural landmarks, including the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre.
Today, Anfu Road is one of the trendiest strips in the city. Shaded by leafy plane trees, the street is filled with specialty coffee shops, bakeries, independent fashion boutiques, and restaurants with outdoor seating. It is a favorite spot for an unhurried city walk and people-watching, and it connects naturally into a stroll along neighboring Wukang Road.
