Nanchang Road

On the 1.6-kilometer Nanchang Road, it carries the memories of several generations. The collision of historical buildings and modern life, the fusion of the bustling atmosphere and coffee culture, make this century-old road reveal elegance, artistic romance, and vibrant energy everywhere. Walking on Nanchang Road, on both sides of the ten-meter-wide road, the French plane trees tower into the sky. In summer, the green trees provide shade, and in autumn, the fallen leaves cover the streets. The old buildings behind them reflect different styles throughout the four seasons. Several pocket gardens scattered along the road, each with its own characteristics, add a touch of novelty to this historic old road. Especially at the intersection of Nanchang Road and Maoming South Road, the Reading Garden, with its elevated flower beds and Tagore sculpture, the added reading pergola and glass book wall, combined with red brick elements to create low walls and tree pools of different heights, form a small and exquisite reading space where citizens can stop and rest. The site of the founding group of the Communist Party of China (the editorial office of 'New Youth'), the Science Hall, Nanchang Building... Many excellent historical buildings stand on Nanchang Road, each different, each brick and tile with its own story, stringing together a complete history of Haipai architecture. This is the biggest feature of Nanchang Road. Nanchang Road also has Shanghai's first bookstore friendly to visually impaired people - Xinhua Bookstore 'Against the Light 226'; the murals along the street depict alley life, and the 'landscape paintings' by young artists also give a 'new look' to the substation at No. 292 Nanchang Road; the photo wall sets up a door for the garbage disposal point; the 'Nanchang Road' logo font is divided into two styles, disassembled and combined, turned into small square bricks scattered in the tree pools and streets... This place is more like an art gallery without walls. With the construction of beautiful blocks, the renewed Nanchang Road, full of stories, attracts more and more people to stop and stay.
