Lu Xun Park, Urban park in Hongkou, Shanghai, China

The park covers 25 hectares with gardens, winding paths, lakes, and numerous recreational areas designed in traditional Chinese landscape style.

The park, established in 1896 as a shooting range, underwent transformation in 1928 when it first allowed Chinese visitors to enter its grounds.

The Lu Xun Museum within the park exhibits personal items, papers, and publications of the influential Chinese writer who shaped modern literature.

Visitors can reach the park via Lines 3 and 8 of Shanghai Metro, with Exit 1 at Hongkou Football Stadium Station providing direct access.

The park contains hundreds of Yoshino cherry trees that were transplanted directly from Ueno Park in Tokyo, creating seasonal floral displays.
