Prosperity of French Concession

French Concession refers to "the best location in Shanghai" among the population of Shanghai. At that time, French colonists tried to create a miniature of Paris on the land of Shanghai. The ten-mile foreign exchange they created and the extravagant style they pursued have become the most respected benchmark of foreign exchange life in Shanghai for more than a century.

At that time, the most advanced area on the beach was several boulevards and hundreds of romantic garden houses in the west of the French Concession. At present, hengshan road, Fuxing Park and Maoming South Road, which retain the French style, are still the first choice for Shanghainese's leisure and entertainment. Many garden houses in Fuxing Middle Road are dilapidated, but they all cost tens of millions of yuan.
