Introduction

Liyang Road in the Lu Xun Park area is located in the central part of Hongkou District, starting from Hongkou Port on the Huangpu River and ending at Sichuan North Road. As early as 1943, this road was renamed Liyang Road, but because it was developed earlier, there are still many old alleys and warehouse stacks on both sides of the road. There are also many famous people's former residences and historical buildings, such as Guo Moruo's former residence, Lu Xun's book room, the Shanghai General Trade Union before liberation, Cao Juren's old residence, Jin Zhonghua's old residence, etc. Its most famous feature is a row of garden-style Western-style houses. Liyang Road is divided into two sections, separated by Siping Road in the middle.
