|
|
Situated on the picturesque Huiquan Bay, Lu Xun Park stretches for
about one kilometer (0.62 mile) along the coastline and boasts the
most distinctive seashore park of Qingdao City. It covers an area of
more than four hectares (9.9 acres), and is a charming park
combining both enchanting natural scenery and sites of cultural
interest. The neighboring Number One Bathing Beach, Small Qingdao
Island and Little Fish Hill also contribute to the beauty of this
park.
The park was built in 1929 and was previously known as both "Ruoyu
Park" and "Seashore Park". In 1950, in order to commemorate Lu Xun,
a great Chinese writer, ideologist and revolutionist, the park
received its present name. In October of 1986, a three-meter (9.84
feet) high granite sculpture was erected at the entrance of the park
to honor the 50th anniversary of the death of Lu Xun.
The entrance to the park is a dignified stone memorial archway
sheathed in glazed tiles. The name of the park engraved on the
archway was made according to the scripts of Lu Xun. Passing through
the archway, you are welcomed by the thick lodge pole pine woods,
rugged reefs, exquisite pavilions and sea dogs. The bottom of the
rocks is grown oysters and gorgeous sea shells litter the sands.
Visitors are frequently attracted by the sea shells and also the
alga brought in by the waves.
Walking along the undulating narrow stone paths which wind through
both the rocks and woodland, you will feel both happy and relaxed.
Sitting atop the rocks and watching the waves has a unique and
lingering charm. The waves bring in magnificent view of billowing;
glittering foam and leave with a quiet gentle flow, and in the
distance, the sea presents an intriguing view of colorful sails and
flying seabirds. Lu Xun Park has become a desired destination for
watching the tidal bore and the moon, listening to the waves and
fishing.
The park is highly reputed owing to the extraordinary
characteristics and many tourist souvenirs of Qingdao City are
printed with the enchanting seashore scenery of the park. Moreover,
some cultural interests distinguished by the literary works of Lu
Xun have been set up in the park. A 75-meter (246 feet) long
corridor is carved with 45 poems written by Lu Xun. A copper
embossed portrait relief of Lu Xun is inlayed in the middle of the
corridor. Seeing the stately poem corridor and other cultural
landscape, visitors will be inspired by Lu Xun and feel the deep
cultural atmosphere of the park.
