Have you tried pushing through and getting used to it? I run for half an hour in Shanghai summer weather. Over 35 degrees and humid.
It's hard but it works. Been working from home for 20 years and I do go for walks almost no matter the weather. If it snows I just put on my mountain hiking gear. I skip heavy rains though :)
But you're in Shanghai which is mostly a huge city as far as I know, and I live in an European city. I definitely don't walk in the dark, I walk 2.5 km to a park and stop at a coffee kiosk there, then walk back.
The experience in the suburbs may vary.
The worst thing with stuff like this is when you think of exercise as lost time though. Netflix is lost time. Exercise isn't.

That sucks. Are there parks nearby or could you use a headlamp and wear high visibility clothing?
Ten minutes of a high intensity interval teaching training routine is no fun but it can be done every morning.

I am a person that runs cold, terribly affected by heat; I don't think I could make much headway doing this. I get heatstroke very easily.
There is a park, but it's not so near, and walking in the dark just has zero appeal.
