Located just steps from the Lu Xun park, this pedestrian street is located in the former Japanese concession of Shanghai. It is bordered on both sides by very friendly cafés and restaurants, alternating with antique shops. Famous statues of famous writers are installed throughout the street, which was once the place of residence of a large part of the shanghaiens intellectuals: Ding Ling, Guo Moruo, Shen Yimou or Mao Dun… Some residences deserve a look for their typical architecture in the neighborhood. They don't visit, but are visible from the street. At No. 210 of the street, for example, Bai Palace was transformed into a medical research centre held by the army! Further down the street perpendicular to Duolun (Nong 2023, No. 5) is an almost similar house, the Tang residence, now inhabited by private individuals. The site was used to host Japanese troops during the war. On another perpendicular street (follow signs from Duolun Lu) lies the house that had housed the League of writers on the left. A recommend only to the passionate sinisants by this period of history, because the museum is a little hermetic. The Protestant church Hongde, built in 1928, is located at the end of the street (No. 59). It is the only church in Shanghai whose architecture has been directly inspired by Chinese temples. The church is, unfortunately, closed most of the time, so it must be satisfied from the outside, except on Sunday morning: It's worth coming to a service.
