Duolun Lu

Duolun Lu Review

Designated Shanghai's "Cultural Street," Duolun Road takes you back in time to the 1930s, when the 1-km-long (½-mi-long) lane was a favorite haunt of writer Lu Xun and fellow social activists. Bronze statues of those literary luminaries dot the lawns between the well-preserved villas and row houses, whose first floors are now home to antiques shops, cafés, and art galleries. As the street takes a 90-degree turn, its architecture shifts 180 degrees with the seven-story, stark, gray Shanghai Doland Museum of Modern Art.
