Lu Xun Academy

#chinatravel We visited the Lu Xun Academy of Art Former Site in Yan’an on a clear afternoon, and the first impression was one of unexpected intimacy. Wandering through the courtyard with dozens of cave dwellings and a modest church structure, we sensed the weight of creativity that once radiated here. The dimly lit rooms felt humble yet purposeful historical figures in literature, art, music, and drama once walked these paths and gathered in the same spaces where we now stood. What made the visit especially meaningful was how the site blends artistry with lived experience without fanfare. The preserved kilns and simple display areas let us imagine daily life during wartime, and the new red education zone brings context to the environment without overwhelming it. There were no crowds or distractions just quiet reflection amid historical authenticity. If you want a place that offers cultural resonance and thoughtful simplicity, we would highly recommend visiting the Lu Xun Academy Former Site. #china #travel
