Lu Xun’s Hometown is essentially an old street lined with various snacks and local specialties.
Admission is free, so it gets very crowded, but what’s rare is that as a 4A-level tourist attraction, the four sites inside are also free of charge.
They are Lu Xun’s Ancestral Residence, Sanwei Shuwu (Three Flavors Study), Lu Xun Museum, and Lu Xun’s Former Residence.
You can get free tickets at the Visitor Center simply by presenting your ID card.
Actually, it’s just a short distance from Hangzhou, yet the architectural styles on either side are completely different.

Actually, I’ve never been very interested in former residences of famous people…
The main thing is that I don’t know much about these celebrities; my current impression of Lu Xun
is basically limited to the few articles I studied in middle school textbooks…
So I just wandered around casually following the crowd, since admission is free anyway…
The area is quite large; it takes about an hour to visit all four sites…
If you’re interested in learning more, you can hire a tour guide~~~

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is the most modern building here. Inside, there are bronze statues of Mr. Fujino and Lu Xun,
and the temporary exhibition hall features a creative photography exhibition based on Lu Xun’s work “Regret for the Past”.

As an important place of entertainment in Lu Xun’s childhood memories, Baicaoyuan (Hundred Plant Garden) is located behind Lu Xun’s Former Residence, but it’s actually just a vegetable garden…

This snack shop looks pretty good

The famous Xianheng Hotel, with many people outside touting for tourists…
