Strolling around, you will be pleased by the graffiti-covered walls along the street stretching for nearly 100 meters. Hundreds of ingenious graffiti works are featured in various styles including abstract paintings and realistic paintings. The paintings show us clowns in comic books, game scenes of Mario, different genres of fruits and flowers, as well as high heels and crocodiles. Each of them is unique in hues and shapes.
