[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Site of the Inaugural Meeting of the Chinese League of Left-Wing Writers (Updated Aug)

#chinatravel Built in 1911, Duolun Road was a vibrant hub frequented by many prominent literary figures. During the 1920s and 1930s, renowned writers such as Lu Xun, Mao Dun, and Ding Ling were active here. The street is also home to distinctive historic buildings like Kong Mansion, Tang Mansion, Bai Mansion, and Morse Apartments, though unfortunately, these are not open to visitors. This area is famous for being the birthplace of the influential literary group—the Chinese Left-Wing Writers’ League. Admission: Free, no reservation needed Opening Hours: 9:00 AM–11:30 AM, 1:00 PM–4:30 PM (Closed on Mondays) Visit Duration: About 30 minutes Location: Lane 201, No. 2, Duolun Road, Hongkou District

This afternoon, I visited Dulun Road Cultural Celebrity Street, which I hadn't been to for a long time. I happened to see the Memorial Hall of the Chinese Left-Wing Writers' League headquarters, went inside for a visit, and gained a lot. 📍Detailed Address: This place is located on Dulun Road, but the Left-Wing Writers' League Memorial Hall is in a small alley. However, the signs are very clear. You can see the sign in my first photo at the entrance, and it takes just a few minutes to walk down the alley from there. 🌟Highlights: In 1930, the Chinese Left-Wing Writers' League was declared established here, with Lu Xun as the core representative, along with many other well-known figures. The entire memorial hall is not large, with three floors. The first floor exhibition mainly presents the scene of the League's establishment, the second floor is the main exhibition hall, and the third floor has an audiovisual room. By visiting, you can basically understand the League's creation, literary achievements, struggles at the time, and subsequent research. It is very comprehensive and definitely worth a visit. 📝Tips: No eating inside the exhibition hall. There is no admission fee here, but it is hoped that visitors will maintain a solemn attitude during the visit, allowing people to feel as if they have returned to that era and gain understanding and knowledge.
