The graffiti wall near Fudan University's campus.

On the graffiti wall near the campus of Fudan University, young artists painted exaggerated images of fairy tales, landscapes and calligraphic creation in bright and contrast colors.

Three locations in the city's celebrated art districts have also been made available for graffiti.

The best known among these is the 600-meter-long graffiti wall on Moganshan Road next to M50 Gallery.

Shanghai Normal University junior Xu Yuyue says the wall stunned her the first time she saw it.

"The scene is made more dramatic by a deserted factory nearby," she says.

"The themes are richer, the scale is greater and the works are more interesting than those of the university walls," she says.

The 500-meter-long graffiti wall on Tian'ai Road in Hongkou district is famous for lovers, who declare their romances in spray paint. Animals dominate the graffiti wall on Wenshui Road in Zhabei district.
