Street art lights up the old neighborhood of Xi'an

Old streets may seem shabby in people's established impressions, yet the Jiefangmen Neighborhood at Xincheng District of Xi'an exerts a different vibe. The walls are now covered with refreshing graffiti, and stories happening in the neighborhood are framed onto the walls along the streets. Though seemingly subtle changes, they actually bring a meaningful influence to the neighborhood.
