Shanghai district uses graffiti to promote love-themed street

A love-themed graffiti wall stretching 100 meters is expected to add new romance to a renowned road in downtown Shanghai dubbed "the city's sweetest street".

A group of eight artists has been invited by the district government of Hongkou to create graffiti that interacts with the surroundings and passers-by on the street named Tian'ai, or "sweet love" in English.
