Xinhua Road, from the “most Shanghai” wutong tree street view, more than 270 western-style houses and villas, to the film “pilgrimage” Shanghai Film Art Center, to the old alley with many new young people - Xinhua Community Building Center... This 2,434 meter long “Shanghai first garden road” starts from Huaihai Road W. in the east and ends at Kaixuan Road in the west, inherits the urban context and creates cultural “new” symbols in the process of renewal and upgrading over a century of vicissitudes.

Xinhua Road stretches its beauty freely in early autumn, with dense branches and leaves crisscrossing the road on both sides, enclosing this road into a long tree lined “tunnel.”

The sun shines through the leaves on the white walls of the old mansion, interweaving light and shadow with the white walls, creating a vivid and romantic scenery.

The foreign alley on the Xinhua Road is composed of 29 garden houses built in 1930s and 1940s, whispering the stories over the past century. 

Passing by old buildings, encountering new trends. The Shanghai Film Art Center, reopened last year after an entire renovation, provides people living and working on Xinhua Road with new experiences and understanding of film watching, cinema, and light and shadow art.

FOD, the new landmark at Xinhua Road, is located at the intersection of Xinhua Road and Panyu Road. With high-quality film content as the core, rich cultural activities as the basis, and trendy lifestyle as the carrier, it is an immersive film culture space that gathers cinemas, art centers, accommodation and entertainment.

The Xinhua Community Building Center, located at Lane 345, Xinhua Road, is the first community public service space in the city with the theme of community construction, continuously inspiring the initiative of community residents to participate in community governance.

FICS Xinhua 365, next to the Xinhua Community Building Center, is becoming a new trendy check-in spot at Xinhua Road. It has become a Xinhua life circle composed of digital technology, cultural creativity, good life, fashion, and knowledge hub.
