Just before the intersection between Changhua Lu and Moganshan Lu, where Shanghai's own 'Hanging Gardens' (a shopping and lifestyle centre called 1000 Trees) is currently under construction, there is a wall that's been brightened up by street art from a couple different artists, including local designer and muralist He Haixin. He says he focuses a lot on incorporating Chinese style and tradition in his pieces because of the lack of Chinese culture and representation in Shanghai street art. He's also in the midst of working on a new phoenix mural, which he aims to paint sometime this year.

Find it 1200 Changhua Lu, near Moganshan Lu.

This quiet neighbourhood in Yangpu district isn't just home to Jiangwan Stadium, but also to a whole slew of street art and large-scale murals, including the largest in Shanghai and one of the largest in Asia, Millo's 'Twist of Fate'. Commissioned and painted as part of the murmur project in November 2017, Millo has painted a total of four murals in Shanghai ('Sound of You', which is also located along Daxue Lu; 'Childwood Dream' in Pudong; and 'Inside', which is right by Hongqiao Railway Station). His murals depict urban life in a playful, innocent way with images that are simple yet striking.
