CN Walking highlights a unique stepped terrace architecture at Huaxing Times Square, where each floor hosts a public terrace planted with greenery and bright graffiti. The vibe blends sustainable urban design with spontaneous street art, creating a lively, community-driven space that doubles as a potential action film set. The ascent reveals more art and fewer people on higher floors, leading to a rooftop that offers stunning views and a sense of solitude. Inside, the structure shifts to a long, narrow corridor of small offices and warehouses that are still actively used, showing a mixed-use soul beneath the social graffiti surface. The traveler, CN Walking, notes love confessions tucked on walls, and sunsets that cast a lonely beauty over the terraces, inviting viewers to share their thoughts in the comments.

The piece ends with an open invitation to viewers to weigh in on what they’d do if they found themselves here, especially as daylight fades.

Graffiti blankets the walls, ranging from prayers and blessings to spontaneous art, many pieces dating back over a decade. The upper levels grow quieter and more graffiti-dense, with fewer people visible as you climb higher. The topmost terrace is sealed off, but the view from the rooftop promises dramatic sunsets.
