A bit of history

Built in 1929, the park was originally called Ruoyu Park and Seashore Park. It was renamed in 1950 to honor Lu Xun. A three-meter granite sculpture of Lu was added at the entrance in 1986 for the 50th anniversary of his death. In 2001, the Monument of Lu Xun's Autobiography and the Poetry Corridor were added.
