After his death he was buried in the park and his tomb, with its well-known statue in front of it, attracts many visitors day by day.
Lu Xun Park is one of the largest parks in northern downtown Shanghai. Besides offering boating, fishing, badminton and strolling among flourishing trees, it is also famous for some attractive spots.
