Statues in Hechai 1972, Hefei 🎭🧱

#hellohalloween

Walking through Hechai 1972 Art District feels like stepping into a mural-strewn storybook — and the statues are its chapters. These are not your generic bronze figures — they are scrapped from + welded into + painted over by the spirit of urban reinvention.

Here are a few you’ll find (and photos you’ll want to take):

🗿 Must-See Statues

A giant steel head with vines weaving through the eyes — looks like a mix of nature and machinery.

Abstract dancers mid-twirl, frozen in metal, arms wide, skirts turned to lines of steel.

Robot / cyborg hybrids, part machinery, part human — sometimes sitting on crates or leaning against graffiti walls.

Oversized animals — cats, birds, mythic beasts — made from recycled metal scraps.

Sculptures made from bike frames, pipes, old keyboards, cleverly repurposed.
