Shanghai graffiti street art on show

For the best Shanghai graffiti -- and we're talking street art here, not phone numbers on building -- there are two spots showing the work of the city's rising urban artists. Those locations: Moganshan Lu and Rucker Park.

The Neocha crew headed to the former of the two, next to the M50 gallery and exhibition spaces, to check out the new coats of paint adorning the walls. Although the first minute of the video is a bit fuzzy, things slow down toward the end and you get a better look at the work.

In this section of Moganshan Lu, running along Moganshan Lu from Changhua Lu surrounding a vacant lot by Suzhou Creek, walls explode with color and the track from Neocha user ELECOY goes well with the frantic video.
