2 Why It Matters
Modern Chinese letters, in situ—walk past the Baicao Garden and Sanwei Study that appear in Lu Xun's works, then cross to Shen Garden where the "Phoenix Hairpin" love story lives on.
Car-free access—the 5A zone sits right on Line 1, so you can stitch old-town alleys, bridges and museums in a single tram-light stroll.

Shen Garden has separate ticketing—buy on the spot or via the official portal shown on the site's Visit/Guide page.
