To commemorate Tang Wan, Lu You revisited the Shenyuan Garden several times and his stay in Shenyuan yielded a number of poems which have been memorized generations after generations.
Shenyuan Garden was built by a rich Shen family in Song Dynasty. It was restored in the 1980s. Besides the delicate southern style pavilions, ponds and rockery, the garden also has a small museum about the life and works of Lu You.
Shenyuan Garden is within 10 minutes' walk from the former residence of Lu Xun, one of the major Chinese writers of the 20th century.
