Lu Xun Park, Urban park in Shinan District, Qingdao, China.
Lu Xun Park runs for nearly a kilometre along the Huiquan Bay shore in Shinan, covering four hectares of pine woods, rocky reef and undulating stone paths. Its main entrance is a stone archway clad in glazed tiles, and three pavilions of different styles stand on the terraced grounds. The Qingdao Aquarium, built inside the park in 1932, is reached from the same grounds.
The grounds were first created in 1929 as Ruoyu Park before receiving their current name in 1950 to honor the Chinese writer Lu Xun. This renaming reflected the site's growing importance in local culture.
The park honors the Chinese writer Lu Xun through various installations that visitors encounter while walking through the grounds. A corridor displays his poems, and a copper relief portrait of the author stands in the central section.
The park opens daily from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM with no admission fee, making it accessible to everyone. The nearby bathing beach is easily reached from here, and the pathways work well for a leisurely walk.
The main gate is a stone archway clad in glazed tiles, and its name plaque is engraved in Lu Xun's own calligraphy. The three-metre granite statue behind it was funded by donations from Qingdao's young people and carved by sculptor Zhang Baitao for the 50th anniversary of Lu Xun's death in October 1986.
