Lu Xun Former Residence

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:47:32

Lu Xun buffs will adore ferreting around this three-floor domicile on lovely Shanyin Rd, where an excellent English-speaking guide can fill you in on all the period bits and bobs, including the author's tea cosy and the clock that stopped at his time of death.

Don’t overlook wandering along Shanyin Rd and peeking into its lovely alleyways and traditional lòngtáng houses (for example at Nos 41 to 50, Lane 180, Shanyin Rd). Around the corner at 2050 North Sichuan Rd is the site of the Uchiyama Bookstore, where Lu Xun used to stock up on literature (it's now a branch of the ICBC bank).
