Duolun Road was built in 1911 and located in Hongkou District of Shanghai. With a length of 550 meters, the L-shaped road's both ends were joined to the prosperous North Sichuan Road near Hongkou Park and Hongkou Stadium. The road today is a famous pedestrian street for tourism and commerce.

In the late part of 20th century, with degrading infrastructures and low-income residents, Duolun Road became a more forgettable and less attractive place. In order to make the area revive, the local government launched a project of regeneration in the end of the century. The project in 1998 was to conserve and repair the historic buildings and turn them into museums, galleries, cafes or art shops. In the project the local infrastructure was to be upgraded and some cultural elements like sculptures added to the new pedestrian street. The site of former events and former residence of the celebrities would be made more accessible and open to the public. There was also a modern museum (Duolun MOMA) among the project. It was in the late 1999 that the first step of the project was realized and the street became open and pedestrian. Nowadays Duolun Road has been again an attractive place, especially for the tourists, reminding others of its historical value.
