brief introduction

A sightseeing platform is built on the top of the empty box. Its ground is paved with 140000 colored floor tiles and granite. There are 32 semi-circular viewing balconies decorated with iron bars and 64 court style square lamps near the river. There are also 21 bowl shaped flower beds, columnar square pavilions and hexagonal pavilions on the sightseeing platform, and various artificial marble chairs for visitors to rest. On the west side of the sightseeing platform, there is an evergreen green belt, which has become the green fence wall of the sightseeing platform. It not only ensures the safety of tourists, but also makes them enjoy the eyes and the heart.

Causes

Shanghai has a narrow living space

Originally, Shanghai people generally had poor housing conditions, so it was common for two or three generations to live in the same room. When young men and women reach the age of falling in love, if they go to each other's home, they have to whisper under the attention of those family members. Their embarrassment can be imagined. They have no choice but to go outdoors. The park is usually closed at night except in midsummer. During the opening period of the night park, militia, pickets and joint defense personnel often patrol the dark places to ensure that the public places are not polluted. At that time, there were no cafes, bars and dance halls to bubble in, so the only place where couples set foot in a large number of activities was the road, so "Dang road" became the pronoun of love. Lovers are naturally willing to swing on the road to places with few people and dim lights.

The public security situation is poor

When they go to a remote corner, they are easy to be robbed or insulted by hooligan a-fei, or the pickets are too enthusiastic to protect them. No matter whether the lovers fight hard or run away, they always leave a lingering memory. Therefore, the lovers in Shanghai want to find a place that is both hidden and safe. The Bund "lover's wall" has gradually formed naturally. The safety here is self-evident, but the concealment is built by Shanghai people with their hearts. There are also some objective conditions. Lying on the flood control wall, facing the dark Huangpu River, an outsider can only see his back, which is much less likely to be recognized by acquaintances. But what is important is a kind of collective heart to heart, a kind of brave spirit to jointly participate in creating an atmosphere suitable for survival (love is a major part of survival).
