Xu Zhimo Tomb, Modern poet burial site in Haining, China.

The tomb features traditional Chinese architectural elements and stands amid gardens in the Zhejiang province countryside near his birthplace.

Xu Zhimo, who passed away in a plane crash in 1931, revolutionized Chinese poetry by incorporating Western influences and vernacular language into his works.

The tomb site represents the intersection of Chinese and Western literary traditions, reflecting Xu Zhimo's education at Cambridge University and his literary innovations.

Visitors can reach the tomb by taking a bus from Haining city center to the memorial site, which remains open throughout the year.

The memorial garden includes stone inscriptions of his most famous poems, including 'Second Farewell to Cambridge,' which many Chinese students learn by heart.
