This study investigates the transformation of the spatial composition of Luxun Park in Shanghai, in terms of its hills and water system, facilities, pathways and functional zoning. These are studied in six stages: the initial design stage (1901-03) and the design implementation stage (1903-12) during the Qing Dynasty, the early stage (1912-22) and the late stage (1922-49) during the Republic of China, the early stage (1949-66) and the late stage (1966-present) during the People's Republic of China (PRC). The initial layout of Luxun Park was primarily based on the lake and island along its boundary, sports facilities in the centre and extended ares, which is supplemented by landscaping facilities nearby and the pathway which is consists of the ring road at the entrance and the main stroll-type ring road. These composed the sports and scenery park from the Qing Dynasty until the Republic of China; During the PRC, the spatial composition of this park was considerably changed because of the various functions applied. The centre turned into a pond (the lake) and three hills (islands). Additionally, memorial-cultural facilities were designed on both sides of the lake, with landscaping and rest facilities nearby. The pathway comprised the memorial-cultural recreational park with the ring road at the entrance and a net-like ring road.
