📍 Inside Lu Xun Park, 2288 North Sichuan Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai

Tucked along the southern edge of Lu Xun Park, just beside the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, the World Literary Giants Plaza offers more than a moment of pause — it’s a walk through the minds that shaped global literature.

Ten full-body bronze statues stand in quiet conversation: Shakespeare, Goethe, Dickens, Hugo, Dante, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Tagore, Balzac, and Gorky. Each figure is accompanied by a detailed bronze plaque, introducing their life stories and the literary legacies they left behind.
