  Just visited the Lu Xun Museum and honestly it was a really cool experience. The whole place is about the writer who used to live there, and you can actually walk through his old house which is super interesting. The exhibits inside are great too — there's a European porcelain exhibition on right now which I didn't expect at all but ended up loving. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, it's a nice break from the busy city.
