海伦路 is a well-known street in Shanghai,
mostly famous for being the old residence of the famous author － 鲁迅.
in that area you can still see the old brick colonial-style houses,
the cobble-stoned streets, and the elegant French trees along the streets

replaced by expensive european cars

there are still those who keep the bicycle tradition alive

the old and the new：
it is not a rare sight to see a mixture of European architecture in old districts of Shanghai
