Lu Xun Books x Coffee, along with the Luxu Museum, was the site of the former residence of Lu Xun in Beijing. His profile is printed on the window of this bookstore. In a showcase of the bookstore, 51 yellowing books collected by the museum are displayed, including Lu's renowned novels Call to Arms (Na han) and Wandering (Pang huang).
