Lu Xun Jinianguan
Lu Xun is often considered China's greatest 20th-century writer, but this museum doesn't do him justice. The main point in visiting here is to buy thetao piao,a ticket that allows access to several neighboring Lu Xun-related sites, all of which are much more interesting. The museum claims to be devoted to his "ideological development," but fortunately there are no labels in English to put you to sleep. Still, you can see it all here, from the author's desk to his death mask, plus period clothing and models of traditional festivals.
