Old Shanghai's Yu Garden

Shanghai may be a fast paced city in China but let's not forget that there is also beauty in the old and I am so glad that Shanghai has preserved and maintained it's ancient parts well. A popular attraction in Shanghai that showcases its old Chinese architecture and pavilions well is the Yu Garden. The place is like an old city of Shanghai and it is located at 279 Yu Yuan Lao Jie. I was surprised to see lots of tourists and locals appreciating the older side of Shanghai and the atmosphere was amazing. There were kois swimming in the pond, beautiful water fountains with the ancient buildings behind and arch bridges for people to walk on. There are also old tea house along the way. Just so much to soak in, with a place so rich in history and culture. Apparently, yu garden is built during the Ming dynasty but the place looks as good as new. Yu Garden is definitely a place worth visiting when you're in Shanghai! #meetshanghai
