Lu Xun's tomb, Granite tomb in Lu Xun Park, Hongkou District, China.

Lu Xun's tomb is a granite monument located in the northwestern corner of Lu Xun Park, occupying approximately 1,600 square meters (17,222 square feet) of space. Memorial trees surround the site, creating a quiet setting around the burial ground.

The writer was initially buried at Wanguo Cemetery in 1936, but his remains were moved to this permanent location in 1956 through a ceremonial transfer. This relocation underscored his importance in shaping China's cultural development.

The 5.28-metre granite stele carries Mao Zedong's gilded inscription "Tomb of Mr. Lu Xun", written in Chinese characters. Each Qingming, some Shanghai residents come on their own to sweep and remember him, and since 2006 the Lu Xun Memorial Hall has run an annual "Following Lu Xun's Footsteps" event.

The site is accessible via Hongkou Football Stadium Station on Shanghai Metro Lines 3 and 8, providing easy access from the city center. The park remains open from early morning until evening, allowing visitors flexibility in planning their visit.

The two cypresses by the stele were replanted here from the old Wanguo Cemetery grave, where Zhou Enlai and Xu Guangping had planted them in 1946. The bronze statue on the second terrace, cast by Xiao Chuanjiu, shows Lu Xun seated in a rattan chair; the cloud relief on its base copies the title page Lu Xun designed for his essay collection Fen (Grave).
