Statues in Hechai 1972, Hefei 🎭🧱

#hellohalloween Walking through Hechai 1972 Art District feels like stepping into a mural-strewn storybook — and the statues are its chapters. These are not your generic bronze figures — they are scrapped from + welded into + painted over by the spirit of urban reinvention. Here are a few you’ll find (and photos you’ll want to take): --- 🗿 Must-See Statues A giant steel head with vines weaving through the eyes — looks like a mix of nature and machinery. Abstract dancers mid-twirl, frozen in metal, arms wide, skirts turned to lines of steel. Robot / cyborg hybrids, part machinery, part human — sometimes sitting on crates or leaning against graffiti walls. Oversized animals — cats, birds, mythic beasts — made from recycled metal scraps. Sculptures made from bike frames, pipes, old keyboards, cleverly repurposed.
