They can be a rare novelty in Shanghai, inclusively this inescapably under-maintained urban sculpture located right by Nanjing Road. Its overall appearance seems acceptable but the foot hold is rusty and rotting away at closer examination.
Urban scupture undoubtedly serves to appeal visually and enhances interest to the urban environment. Children plays around it, some crossing over, crawling underneath, climbing or dangling on, standing high, walking or chasing around, playing hide and seek in between, interactively pushing, touching, banging or even kicking the sculpture. There is such an intense activities for the children. It is truly a great place for kids to gather and have a fun day out.
However, the location is way too close to the hustle and bustle of Nanjing Road, traffic loudly roars by. Scooters and bicycles infrequently and always very rudely intrude into the proximity of this sculpture, directly hampering the safety of those playful kids.
