Lu Xun's Former Home

Lu Xun - China's best known modern writer - was born in Shaoxing in 1881 and lived here until he went abroad to study. A man of humble origins, he wrote frankly and often with poignant irony about the lives of the poorer people in Chinese society.

Lu Xun's former school and household have been preserved and are popular tourist attractions. His former residence is located at 208 Luxun Zhong Lu, and has been restored to its original state. There are more than a hundred rooms as well as a garden. There is also a Memorial Hall dedicated to his history on the same street.

Address: 208 Luxun Zhong Lu Opening Hours: Daily 8am - 5pm How to get there: Take bus no2 or no 7 from Jiefang Bei Lu
