Yuyuan Road, a 101-year-old street in Shanghai, is known for its rich cultural heritage and historical charm. The 2,775-metre-long road, which will never be widened, boasts 108 old western-style houses, 60 historical buildings and cultural relics, and 11 cultural protection units.

Since 2015, the street has undergone a transformation that revitalised its traditional businesses, enhanced its commercial vitality, and integrated urban renewal with cultural and creative industries. As the renewal progresses, the Yuyuan art and lifestyle block has emerged as a unique attraction.
