Murals of young women in sexy garb delight young people in seaside Qingdao and boost sales in nearby shops, though older folks are not amused
Urban murals of young women who are wearing ... well, not much, have caught people's eyes in downtown Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong province. These colorful wall paintings adorn the sides of apartment buildings along the Taidong commercial street in the coastal city known for its beaches, beer and seafood. The paintings were created in 2004, and were touched up in a renovation program a few weeks ago, according to the street's management office. The images feature many themes, but the buildings with the fashionable women seem to draw the most attention. While young people appreciate the art, the big visuals have managed to annoy some elderly passers-by, local media reports. Many shop owners in the neighborhood applaud the paintings for bringing in more customers.
