Start near Wukang Mansion, follow Wukang Road north and decide later whether to continue to Anfu Road. Do not automatically attach the Xuhui waterfront: it is a separate area requiring another transfer and walking budget.
Try this sequence: hotel → Wukang Mansion exterior → the visitor-information area near No 393 → Ferguson Lane near No 376 → selected street-front buildings → a rest around Anfu Road → hotel. Enter businesses only when they are open to visitors. The official Wukang Road guide helps identify these addresses; it does not grant access to private homes.
As an editorial allowance, budget about 90 minutes for walking and looking, then 30–60 minutes seated. Hotel transfers are additional. The shorter version finishes near Ferguson Lane; the longer version reaches Anfu Road without adding another distant shopping district. Save separate start and finish pins so you do not need to retrace the route.
In light rain, reduce the walk to two exterior stops and an operating indoor rest point. In persistent rain, replace the street walk with a venue whose opening and admission you have actually confirmed. Former residences, exhibitions and popular stores can have individual access rules. Without a confirmed alternative, returning to the hotel is reasonable.
Ask about café steps, seating and toilets when these matter. A takeaway coffee while standing is not a proper rest for someone with limited stamina. Keep photography brief where pavements narrow and do not gather in residential doorways. If a diversion adds distance, remove a stop rather than extending the outing indefinitely.
