Sweet Love Road is a romantic avenue in Shanghai known for its love-themed ambiance. Along both sides of the road, wooden frames are placed every two meters, engraved with 28 renowned love poems from both China and abroad, forming a ‘Wall of Love’.
At the entrance of the road stands a heart-shaped mailbox, where many young people come to send postcards stamped with a heart-shaped postmark, expressing their romantic and sincere feelings to their loved ones. Sweet Love Road is a small street in Hongkou District, starting from Sichuan North Road in the south and adjacent to Lu Xun Park in the north, spanning approximately 600 meters in length. The road is steeped in a love story akin to the Chinese legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which has endowed it with a romantic aura. The older generation believes that couples who walk hand in hand along this road can attain everlasting and fulfilling love. At the entrance of Sweet Love Road, a pair of bronze statues of a couple stand, and along the road, tall metasequoias line up, providing ample shade during the summer. There are rows of charming houses along the road, and numerous distinctive shops and coffee shops open along the street. Holding hands with your significant other and strolling here allows you to experience the rare tranquility in the city and relive the feeling of first love. The heart-shaped mailbox is very popular; sending postcards or letters with a heart-shaped postmark featuring the English word ‘LOVE’ from this mailbox is a simple yet romantic way to convey blessings. Opening hours are all year round, open all day, with specific business status depending on the day’s opening conditions. Parking facilities are available at the underground parking lot at the intersection of Sweet Love Side Road and Sweet Love Road. Reference price: paid, 9 yuan per hour. A must-see tip: The heart-shaped postmark is circular with two heart-shaped patterns, featuring the words ‘Sweet Love Road’ and the date in English script ‘LOVE’, with ‘Shanghai, China’ printed below. The heart-shaped postmark needs to be stamped in person at the security room of Sichuan North Road Street, No. 1338, Lianyang Road. From the entrance of Sweet Love Road, head south along Sichuan North Road, then turn east on Lianyang Road and walk about 300 meters to reach the location.Sweet Love Road: A Romantic Shanghai Landmark
