Street art lights up the old neighborhood of Xi'an

Old streets in Xi'an are the epitome of the people's lives from the last generation, and they also witness the rapid development of the city.

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.

Wandering till the end of the street, you might have already captured a piece of the history here. Nowadays, the street is endowed with a novel look, exerting a strong artistic vibe.

The renovation of the street includes transforming the street's visual look and rebuilding the living environment here. Now the neighborhood is filled with interesting details and energy.
