There is a street of cultural celebrities in Hongkou District, Shanghai, which is the symbolic cultural project of Hongkou District for 'rescuing cultural heritage and protecting the sites of former residences.' It is also a new attraction in Shanghai's urban cultural tourism: Duolun Road. Originally named Doulean Road, it was built in the third year of the Xuantong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1911) and is now located in the Sichuan North Road Subdistrict of Hongkou District, Shanghai. Although Duolun Road is short and narrow, with a winding and secluded path, it has made a significant mark in the history of modern Chinese culture. For example, the site of the League of Left-Wing Writers at No. 2, Lane 201, Duolun Road: The founding meeting of the Chinese Left-Wing Writers' League was held here on March 2, 1930. This marked the vigorous development of the Chinese left-wing cultural movement led by Lu Xun, and wrote a glorious chapter in the history of the Chinese revolution and modern Chinese literature. The Left-Wing Writers Memorial and the Exhibition Hall of Ten Great Cultural Celebrities, located at No. 145 Duolun Road, once served as the campus and dormitory of the Left-Wing Sun Yat-sen University. Behind Lane 135 Duolun Road is Jingyun Li (Celebrity Road), where a large number of cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun, Chen Wangdao, Mao Dun, Ye Shengtao, Feng Xuefeng, Zhou Jianren, and Rou Shi once lived in the 1920s and 1930s, earning it the reputation of a historic and cultural celebrity lane. Today, the road surface of Duolun Road is paved with stones, and the various Western-style buildings on both sides are freshly painted. The storefronts are open, all housing elegant businesses, calligraphy and painting, antiques, mahogany furniture, and so on, presenting a refined atmosphere. Along the way, one can see: Jinquan Ancient Coin Museum, Stone Museum, Chopstick Museum, Clock Museum, Hongdengtang, and Xishi Zhonglou, etc. Duolun Road Cultural Street is a leisure street that not only recreates the humanistic atmosphere of Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s but is also a great place for citizens and tourists to rest.
