Lu Xun Park is a gem — especially during autumn when the ginkgo trees turn golden. I spent hours wandering around the rose garden and the little bridge near the lotus pond. The statue of Lu Xun is a nice photo op, and the whole vibe is serene and contemplative. One of my favourite parks in Shanghai, hands down.

Took my two kids here on a Saturday and they had a blast on the bumper boats and mini train. The park is huge, so even with crowds we found quiet corners for a picnic. The free entry is a big plus, but the food stalls are overpriced and not great. Overall, a fun, affordable family outing — just bring your own snacks.

Been coming to this park since I was a kid, and it still has that old-school charm. The morning tai chi groups, the chess players under the pavilion — it feels like a living museum of Shanghai's local culture. The only downside is the playground equipment is getting rusty; they could really use an upgrade. Still a solid 4-star spot for an authentic local experience.

Came here mainly for the Lu Xun memorial hall, which was informative but a bit smaller than I expected. The park itself is decent for a stroll, but the restrooms were pretty dirty and the signage is confusing. I wouldn't go out of my way again, but if you're in the area it's okay for a quick visit.

Stumbled upon Lu Xun Park on a sunny afternoon and was blown away by the cherry blossoms along the lake. The whole place felt like a peaceful escape from the city noise. The old gentleman playing erhu under the willow tree added such a poetic touch. Absolutely loved it — highly recommend taking a book and just sitting by the water for an hour.
