🎨 Huangpu District, Shanghai: Street Art Among the Skyscrapers

#hellohalloween

Tucked between historic architecture and modern glass towers, Huangpu District hides a colorful secret — a thriving street art scene that gives Shanghai’s old walls new life. I arrived via Metro Line 10 to Xintiandi Station, then wandered through the quieter backstreets near Tianzifang and Taikang Road, where murals bloom across red brick façades and utility doors.

Each piece felt like a conversation between old Shanghai and the new generation — vivid graffiti beside traditional shikumen stonework, modern portraits alongside nostalgic calligraphy. The area has become an open-air gallery where art, history, and daily life blend effortlessly. 🖌️

📍 Location: Around Tianzifang & Taikang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai
🚇 How to Get There: Metro Line 9 → Dapuqiao Station (Exit 1) or Line 10 → Xintiandi Station
✨ Highlights: Colorful murals, shikumen backstreets, photo spots, cafés with local art displays

Exploring Huangpu’s street art is a reminder that Shanghai’s creativity doesn’t just live in museums — it’s painted right onto its walls.
