After leaving the Underwater World, continue walking west along Laiyang Road, you can enter Luxun Park and see the statue of Lu Xun.

Luxun Park has direct access to the seaside, where you can stand on the rocks and feel the breath of the sea up close.

The white things on the rocks by the sea are oysters. Some locals will use special chisels to break the oyster shells and take out the meat inside.

The sea water is very clear and has no bad smell at all.

As long as you are good at discovering, you will find all kinds of marine life on the beach: seaweed, kelp, small crabs, shrimps, sea worms, anemones, small fish...

It was my first time here and I had no experience. I didn’t bring any equipment. I saw a small shrimp swimming in the water, but the clothes I was wearing were not suitable for catching it, so I had to give up reluctantly.

Luxun Park is the first scenic spot in Qingdao Huiquan Scenic Area and also the most distinctive seaside park in Qingdao. The park stretches east-west along the narrow bedrock coast, and is adjacent to Qingdao Aquarium and the first bathing beach in the east. It is 2 kilometers long. The red reefs, clear water, green pines, secluded paths, pavilions and terraces in the park are winding and varied, and the scenery is charming. It is a scenic spot with both garden beauty and natural beauty. The red reefs, blue waves, green pines, secluded paths, winding and varied, the mountains and waters are elegant and fresh, and there is the interest of "the road is cut off at the end of the mountain and there is a cliff, and there is another scene when you turn back to the shore".

There are rows of green pines in Luxun Park, with rocks and the sea in front of it.

The upper part of the reef is reddish brown, and the bottom is grayish brown. Against the backdrop of the sea, it looks even more dazzling. The bottom of the reef is covered with hard oysters. Sitting on the reef, you can watch the waves rolling and rising.

When the big waves came, "rocks flew through the sky, waves crashed against the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were blown up."

Golden sand, ochre reefs, blue sea and sky, mountains, sea and rocks blend into one.

The famous coastal park in Qingdao city is a free attraction! ! ! ! ! !

By Zakumi |

A good place to shoot movies. Next to the Underwater World. A good place to walk around Qingdao

By Pearl9582 |

The park is by the sea, perfect for sitting down and enjoying the sea breeze

By Yutongfay |

This is a free park in front of Xiao Qingdao. It is famous for its large reefs. I never knew why it was called Luxun Park and what kind of relationship it has with Luxun. However, this park is on the coastal line, and it is quite nice to see such reefs. It is very suitable for taking pictures here. It only takes 10 minutes anyway. It is probably just a small park. Yutong walked along the reefs to the reefs far away in order to take beautiful pictures. Although the photos are not beautiful, I am still very satisfied.

By Big Bad Wolf |

The park stretches east-west along a narrow bedrock coast, with Qingdao Aquarium and the First Bathing Beach to the east.

By A little flower |

There are large reefs, fleeting waves, and the sound of the sea...

By Giant vetch in the reed marsh |

In fact, I can't really tell where is Qinyu Road and where is Luxun Park. From the entrance of Xiaoqingdao, walk along Qinyu Road to Luxun Park. Luxun Park is a long strip of area. Walking along the trail is almost like walking along the seaside. It's beautiful.

By Swirling Water |

The biggest feature of Luxun Park is that it is full of green pines. Is this a display of the spirit of Lu Xun? Evergreen, tenacious, and sharp!

By jalksoni |

Convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, perfect combination of bay, city and reef

By Let me take a look |

Near the Naval Museum, there is a small park commemorating Mr. Lu Xun. It is not large in size and is suitable for resting and slowly experiencing the beauty of Qingdao's seaside.

By Four Seasons Green |

Free admission, passing by on the way to Xiao Qingdao, it's really a different world after entering. The sea view is unobstructed, and the reefs on the seaside are very beautiful for taking pictures. I personally recommend going to see it, especially for girls who like taking pictures.

By xy |

Very beautiful seaside park ~ worth a visit.

By Dada |

Luxun Park is very beautiful. On one side of Luxun Park is the No. 1 Bathing Beach and on the other side is Little Qingdao.

By Qinhai Su Yuning |

Luxun Park is adjacent to Qingdao Underwater World. Luxun Park is free and has a nice seaside view.

By Watercolor car and Melaleuca |

A must-visit place. The view here is good and you can overlook the sea. Free, but parking is difficult around

By Martian User |

To the west of the Second Sea Ice Bath, there is a park by the sea, which is worth visiting and has many tourists.

By Nan Zaiye |

The entrance to the park is a very small archway, which can be easily missed if you are not careful. Apart from a poem, I did not find any other symbols related to Lu Xun in the park.

By On the Road |

Luxun Park is a memorial park along the seaside. There are trails in the park that lead to the beach, and the surrounding scenery is quite nice.

By Double Moon Fly |

Originally, I had no idea about Luxun Park and didn't want to go there. In fact, you don't necessarily need to buy a ticket to go in and visit. Just playing on the outer reefs and taking photos is also a good choice.

By Zachary |

Close to the sea, there are many reefs. I like this place very much. Climbing the reefs is silly but fun! Sitting on the reef and listening to the waves is also very artistic.

By Time Walk |

I particularly like the dark red reefs here. Later, I also saw a lot of brown stones in other places. It seems that the sea in Qingdao has this characteristic. However, the stones in Luxun Park are the most beautiful.

I took all kinds of photos. The scenery is really beautiful.

By Afa's sister |

Promise me that you must come. First, it's free. Second, it's really comfortable. Just find a reef to sit down, listen to the sea, watch the sea, and forget all your worries.

By China-TravelNote users |

The most worthwhile seaside reef in the city is spectacular

A seaside park, walk along the first bathing beach all the way to Luxun Park, stop and look along the way, with both garden beauty and natural beauty

Children like to catch 🐟 🦀️🐚🦐 there and especially like to play

By Dalu World |

The park was built in 1929 by Mr. Ge Jingying, a famous Chinese horticulturist, taking advantage of the natural environment of the coast and the sea. In 1950, it was renamed in memory of Mr. Lu Xun. Luxun Park stretches east-west along the narrow bedrock coast, bordering Qingdao Aquarium and the First Bathing Beach to the east, with a total length of 2 kilometers.

As the first scenic spot of Qingdao Huiquan Scenic Area, the park has a classical Chinese stone archway at the main entrance. The four golden characters "Lu Xun Park" are engraved on the front brow. It is a collection of Mr. Lu Xun's handwriting and is very impressive.

By Dingdang Travel Notes |

It turns out that Xiao Qingdao and Luxun Park have adjacent entrances. I thought the porch of Luxun Park was very artistic. My son was reluctant to go in at first, but I told him to just go in and take a look. Wow, I discovered a new world, with colorful stones, catching small crabs, and clear water, but there were too many stones and it was a bit prickly.

By Little lazy blog |

Luxun Park is very beautiful, and the red reefs are very distinctive.

By Bai Xubo |

The first bathing beach in the east is still a beach, but the area next to it, Luxun Park, has become a series of strange rocks. There is a Luxun Poetry Gallery, which is one of the few places that can link this ordinary seaside rocky coast with Mr. Lu Xun.

By Zhang Hanlululuzai |

It feels like this park is a green area along the sea, and in fact, it is just a place to enjoy the sea view.

By Tulikou |

I played for a long time at the beach in Luxun Park. There were a lot of rocks, but the water was quite clear. I could see crabs but couldn't catch them.

By Hi 5en |

Scattered reefs touch the ocean. There is no obstruction and you can directly see the sea. It will be a good place to take a set of unique photos

By 😘Miss Zhao |

If you walk to the end of Luxun Park, you can see the reefs and the sea. If you walk forward along the road, you can reach the Underwater World, the First Bathing Beach, the Badaguan Scenic Area and the Second Bathing Beach!

By Fang Fangzi |

There were few tourists in Luxun Park. Unlike Xiamen, the granite on the Qingdao coast is yellow with a hint of pink, and the unique Qingdao red is particularly dazzling in the sun.

The water is very clear, and there are green stones like jade, and milky white...

By Daddy Pig |

It is simple and elegant, a combination of Chinese and Western styles, beautiful both inside and out, and worth a visit.

By Lu Han's Medal |

Close to the sea, the trees grow very lush.

I think if you are short on time, you can skip this place because there are relatively many tourists.

Luxun Park is like a link connecting the road and the sea.

The park is not big and there is not much to see, but it is lush and green, and it feels like spring has arrived.

By Ludafumm |

The characteristic of Luxun Park is that there are large reefs, which are very beautiful for taking pictures.

By Hyde |

Luxun Park is located at the foot of Signal Hill and Xiaoyu Hill. It is a coastal park with charming scenery. It is a scenic spot that combines the beauty of gardens and nature. There are many couples taking wedding photos here. The park is free.

By Doris |

A free coastal park with a large reddish-brown reef on the beach. It is very pleasant to look into the distance here. If you are physically fit, you can also climb the reef.

By Baikal Jinheng |

Luxun Park is very close to the Naval Museum. There are large reefs and beaches. No tickets are required. The weather was really good on the day we went there. The sea and sky were both blue. Many people took photos on the large reefs. It is recommended to wear flat shoes here. I wore a pair of shoes with a little heel for the sake of concave shape. It is really inconvenient to climb the reefs, so I didn’t go further and closer to the sea~

By Fat girl |

There is nothing to see in Luxun Park. It is just a park with the sea next to it. I think the scenery is better than the pier.

By Anonyme |

To be honest, this side is much better. The color of the sea water is very beautiful, there are many reefs, and the water is much cleaner than the first bathing beach, and it is also very blue~~~ The reefs are all beautiful, still very beautiful. I like the feeling here more, and the whole person will relax (PS: pay attention to safety, there are no guardrails or other safety measures. When taking pictures, pay attention to your feet, after all, the reefs are bumpy). I left reluctantly, mainly because the sea breeze was very strong, and I was shivering a little in my thin clothes~~~~~

By yamayama |

The red reef is a major feature of Luxun Park.

In the drizzle, looking at the newlyweds who were still taking wedding photos in the distance, we refused to admit defeat and insisted on posing without holding umbrellas.

By Fleeting Years☆═ |

Luxun Park is right next to Little Qingdao. I don't know why it's called Luxun Park. Compared to the pier, it's very quiet and has many reefs. Before I came here, I always wanted to try sitting by the sea and letting my mind go. I sat there for less than two minutes and I couldn't stand the wind anymore, so I left.

By I love San Ge |

Walking along the winding paths in the garden is a special experience. The stone paths are winding and undulating. On one side is a lush pine forest, and on the other side is a rugged reef beach. There are stone steps on the protrusions and a Western-style pavilion at the corners. It is very pleasant to walk between them. Watching the tide by the sea is another artistic conception. Sitting on the reef, you can watch the waves in front of you, ups and downs. When the big waves come, you can see "rocks piercing the sky, waves hitting the shore, and rolling up thousands of piles of snow"; after the tide, the sound of the waves is silent, leaving a layer of crystal white water foam on the water surface, the waves and water color are very beautiful. In the distance, the sea surface is dotted with sails and seagulls flying, and all tourists are intoxicated by the scenery in front of them.

By Smart People |

It is not clear why there is a Lu Xun Park. It should be because he lived here or left works here.

It is said that the waves in Luxun Park hit the rocks vigorously. It is true. The sea water is green. Although it is cloudy, you can still feel the beauty of the crystal clear sea water. The waves hit the rocks again and again, making a whistling sound, which is magnificent. Standing on the edge of the reef, my legs are a little weak.

By Fruit Mom |

Luxun Park is open to the public for free. There are many pine trees in it, which is a Qingdao feature. More than 30 years ago, my parents left many memories in Luxun Park. After more than 30 years, I didn't expect that even the guardrails have not changed, but the pine trees have grown a lot.

By Yogameow |

From childhood to adulthood, I have been to this place countless times.

Suitable for walking slowly and looking slowly.

The admission fee was once five yuan, but it was later cancelled.

It just doesn’t feel the same as before.

By cyan turquoise cat |

We did take a quick look around Luxun Park, and it felt like a very ordinary park. I think it's okay to go there on the way, and there's no need to come here specifically for this place.

By Jenny |

Luxun Park is a free seaside park in Qingdao. There are large reddish-brown reefs on the beach. Like Badaguan, many newlyweds take wedding photos here. Because it is by the sea, you can see far and it is very relaxing. There are also plank roads on the beach where you can stroll, and there is also a stone-carved corridor of Luxun's poems, where you can walk slowly and read slowly. There will be many entertainment projects on the beach. Anyway, different ways of playing have different prices. I personally feel that it is better to walk and see by yourself here. If you really want to play those projects, remind you to negotiate the price in advance. Sometimes the time and place are different, and the price may be different. It is better to ask more.

The red reefs are very beautiful and have their own unique personality.

Walk towards Xiao Qingdao from the First Bathing Beach and you will reach Luxun Park.

By Red Sleeves and Purple Moon |

Qingdao has planned a scenic area along the seaside. Next to Signal Hill is Luxun Park. The seaside has winding paths, trees and pavilions. It is a great place for citizens to take a leisurely stroll. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong today and it was not suitable for a stroll on the beach. Let's take a photo in front of the statue of Mr. Lu Xun!

By Lazy Cat |

It is the main historical and cultural memorial park in Shanghai and the first sports park in China. Lu Xun's tomb was moved here from the International Cemetery. There are many seasides in Qingdao, so there is nothing to see here, but there is a small Qingdao nearby, which you can visit.

By Diaspora |

Walk slowly westward along the seaside walking trail from the No. 1 Beach, and you will soon arrive at Luxun Park. Strolling along the winding paths in the park is a unique experience. The stone-paved paths are winding and undulating. On one side is a lush pine forest, and on the other side is a rugged reef. Watch the tide by the sea, sit on the reef, and watch the waves rolling and rising in front of you.

By Strolling in the Garden |

Luxun Park is located next to the Naval Museum. It's a quick walk and not crowded, so it would be nice to take a slow walk there.

By Tong Ran |

I don't know why it's called Luxun Park. It's right next to the Military Museum. It goes along the beach through the Badaguan Scenic Area, the first and second bathing beaches all the way to the May Fourth Square, and then to the Sailing Center. The beach is beautiful.

By June Lotus |

You will pass by here on your way to Xiao Qingdao. It is a seaside park with pleasant scenery.

By Sit and watch the clouds rise |

Luxun Park is not big, it is right on the seaside. The tourists are all very leisurely. Some lie on the lawn to enjoy the cool, and some take off their shoes to feel the sea water. Haha, I also felt it. The sea water is cool. Some people are showing off their skills in small boats on the sea, and some are playing guitar and singing under the shade of trees. It was a very happy afternoon.

By Patata |

To be honest, I think the small beach here is more reliable than the first bathing beach, and the water quality seems to be relatively better. There are fewer people, and the surrounding environment is not bad. There is an oceanarium next to it, which is pretty good.

By Coca Cola Cat |

The natural sea view is free of charge and it is quiet and relaxing without any crowds.

By Jun's promise must be fulfilled |

We went from the Navy Museum to the First Bathing Beach, passing through Luxun Park, and only walked along the coastal line. It felt very good. Since I didn't have a good look at Luxun Park, I dare not comment on other things.

By Heavy rain causes flooding |

Qingdao, Luxun Park, is near the First Bathing Beach, Xiao Qingdao Park, and the Naval Museum.

Close to the seaside, overlooking the sea, covered with forests, with endless beautiful scenery.

By Eat and go far |

The feeling I got from Luxun Park was that I didn't expect there was a sea inside. I could take pictures on the reefs and play in the water.

Luxun Park is the first scenic spot in Qingdao Huiquan Scenic Area and also the most distinctive seaside park in Qingdao. The park stretches east-west along the narrow bedrock coast, bordering Qingdao Aquarium and the First Bathing Beach to the east. It is 2 kilometers long and has red reefs, clear water, green pines, secluded paths, pavilions and terraces, and charming scenery. It is a scenic spot that combines the beauty of gardens and nature.

During the first Japanese occupation in 1929, the black pine forest was converted into the "Shubin Park". After the Chinese government took back Qingdao, it was renamed the "Seaside Park". The Qingdao Engineering Bureau asked the then Agricultural and Forestry Office to plan and design it. The famous Chinese horticulturist Mr. Ge Jingying took advantage of the natural environment of the coast and the sea to shape and build it. Stones were laid on the cliff slope of Laiyang Road, and pavilions were built. Green pines were used as blankets and hollies were used as fences to build flower beds, small wave-blocking dams and 3,100-meter-long stone-based roads were built. Because it was built by the then Qingdao Mayor Hu Ruoyu, it was named "Ruoyu Park". The front of the park archway is titled "Ruoyu Park"; the back is titled "Penghu Shenglan". At the same time, a pavilion with a national classical style was built in the park to display marine life. It was titled "Qingdao Aquarium" and the plaque was written by Hu Ruoyu.

Luxun Park is the most distinctive coastal park in Qingdao, open to the public free of charge. The park stretches east-west along the narrow bedrock coast, with a total length of 2 kilometers. We went there in the evening, and the soft and warm afterglow of the setting sun made the red reefs, blue waves, and green pines winding and colorful, and the water and mountains were elegant and fresh.
