Former Residence of Lu Xun

A small courtyard house in the western city where one of modern China's most influential writers lived in the 1920s, now preserved as a memorial alongside an adjoining museum. The modest dwelling retains the study, nicknamed the tiger-tail study, and simple rooms furnished as in the author's time. The neighboring halls trace his life, essays, and fiction with manuscripts and personal effects. As a window into the intellectual ferment of the era, the site centers on literary rather than dynastic history.
