Huangxian Road in Shinan district, Qingdao, the main thoroughfare spanning approximately 600 meters, has undergone a century-old transformation, bustling with a constant flow of people weaving in and out.

Strolling along this quaint lane, one comes upon a unique cobblestone path flanked by aged small brick-and-concrete buildings. The walls, adorned with the patina of time, exude an increasingly refined and charming allure.

At No. 12 Huangxian Road stands the Museum of Rickshaw Boy, which is also the former residence of Lao She, a famous Chinese novelist and dramatist. The museum bears witness to the literary maestro's "golden era", during which the monumental novel Rickshaw Boy was conceived.

The exterior of the museum emanates a warm and luminous aura, with brick-red window frames and gleaming staircases, while the bright yellow walls tell tales of times long past.

The tranquility and artistry of Huangxian Road serve as a natural cultural stage. In August 2024, an immersive play ingeniously intertwined the Museum of Rickshaw Boy and the surrounding street ambiance with the storyline, reviving the 1930s charm of the old district.

Moreover, the public art training sessions of Shinan have also ventured into this realm, injecting vitality into the old street through creative classes.
