Highlights included The Bund, Yu Garden, Nanjing Road, Disneyland, and the breathtaking nighttime views of Lujiazui. 🎆Sightseeing Route & Must-Visit Attractions We started with the iconic Bund and Yu Garden, then explored the trendy streets of Xintiandi and Tianzifang. Shanghai Disneyland was a magical full-day adventure, perfect for couples and families alike. 🚖Transportation Getting around was easy thanks to the efficient metro system. We also used Didi (Chinese Uber) for convenience. 📸Photo Spots Don’t miss the lanterns at Yuyuan Old Street, the futuristic skyline from the Bund, and the colorful ceilings of Disneytown. 🦐Local Cuisine We tried everything from juicy Xiao Long Bao to restaurant.

Yuyuan Gardens are beautiful to visit any time of year. However, during the Chinese Lantern Festival everything is decorated and looks lovely! There are plenty of places inside to eat and shop as well. I bought an engraved pearl necklace and pieces of jade while visiting (be prepared to haggle as it’s part of the culture). I believe it was 50 rmb to visit during the festival. #happynewyear

Visited the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai in early February 2025. It was very busy and it was during the new year celebrations but it added to the bustling vibe! There are many little shops selling various items and snacks as you walk through. The architecture is the key feature and so beautiful - definitely many photo spots. The decorations for the new year were so pretty and I think would look even nicer at night when it’s all lit up! Make sure to also try the famous dish of the crab roe noodles, there are several places that offer it so you won’t be short of choices. The noodles are very umami and rich - can see why it’s a popular dish of Shanghai!#travel #shanghai

Yuyuan Garden is the largest existing private garden in Nanjing. It was once the villa of Xu Da's descendants in the Ming Dynasty and was rebuilt by the wealthy businessman Hu Enxie in the Qing Dynasty. It is known as the "Lion Grove Garden of Jinling". ⚠️Key Points: The 72 scenic spots in the garden hide the philosophy of mountains and water. Every brick and tile is a spiritual totem of late Qing Dynasty literati's "living in seclusion in the city". ⚠️Photo Guide: 3 Magical Spots to Travel Through Time👇 1️⃣ Qingyuan Hall · Magnolia in the Spotlight In March, magnolias are in full bloom. Wear a plain cheongsam/Hanfu, stand by the red railings in front of the hall, use the upturned eaves as the foreground, and take a photo with your phone tilted upwards. The flowers and ancient architecture in the same frame will create a stunning image. 2️⃣ Chunshui Pavilion · Reflections in the Water Crouch by the pond and shoot from a low angle. On a sunny afternoon, the light and shadow pass through the carved windows, and the reflection of magnolias, white walls, and black tiles on the water surface resembles an ink painting. 3️⃣ Shuishi Residence · Corridor Illusion Take photos of magnolia branches through the carved wooden windows. The framed composition comes with a classical filter, and posting it on your Moments will definitely get you tons of questions. ⚠️Other Tips👇 ▪️🎫 Tickets: 18 yuan (half price for students! Free with Nanjing Park annual pass) ▪️⏰ Time: 9:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30) ▪️📍 Address: No. 1, Hu Family Garden, Mingyang Street, Qinhuai District ▪️🚇 Subway: Exit 4 of Sanshanjie Station on Line 1, then a 15-minute walk (the old town streets along the way are great for photos!) "Yuyuan is not foolish - the wise hide in landscapes, the foolish hide in innocence." When the white magnolia petals fall on the 600-year-old green bricks, you will understand that the soul of Nanjing is not in the bustling crowds, but in the poetic beauty that blooms quietly amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.

The weather in Nanjing makes it hard to tell whether it's spring or winter, but it doesn't matter, as long as spring is in your heart. Come to Yuyuan Garden to see the spring in your heart. There are plum blossoms in full bloom and weeping willows swaying gently. 🌟Highlights: This time at Yuyuan Garden, I discovered several places where plum blossoms are in full bloom. On the left-hand side after entering, along Kegeng Caotang, looking towards the south side of the lake, there is a pink plum blossom tree. Standing next to the pink plum blossoms, with the tender green weeping willows and Yanqing Pavilion in the distance, it must be a very picturesque scene. Another spot is on the right-hand side after entering. Enter the circular gate and walk less than 50 steps to see it. Under the orchid wall, there is a row of plum blossoms. There are fewer people there. Opposite Wuyin Jingshe in the inner garden, beside the rockery, there is also a plum blossom tree in full bloom. It makes a nice pairing with Qingyuan Hall behind it and the white magnolia not far away. There are two plum blossoms next to the Six Dynasties Stone, one is red and the other is green. The cover photo was taken on the west side of Qingyuan Hall. My child said the white walls and green willows looked beautiful. While strolling through the garden, I overheard two elderly people chatting, probably about getting out more and not waiting until they couldn't walk anymore to regret it. 👍Most Recommended: There were noticeably more people this time. Perhaps because of the good weather, everyone came out to enjoy the spring scenery. By the waterfall next to the rockery, you can see many people taking wedding photos, and many young women taking photos in ancient costumes. Hu Mu's former residence is also worth a visit. The furnishings inside are basically the same as they used to be, including the desk, bed, and washbasin stand. Stepping up the wooden stairs, they creak; looking out the window on the second floor, the ancient buildings come into view, and you can feel the passage of time. The couplet "Content with all things, yet desiring nothing; taking nothing, yet knowing true contentment" is also in the inner garden, in front of Mingze Hall. There are many similar couplets, which are also worth a closer look. 📝Tips: 1. The garden is not big, but you might get lost the first time you visit. Basically, turning right leads to the inner garden, which is ideal for those who enjoy architecture and culture. There is an introduction to Yuyuan Garden in the long corridor next to Fenyin Xuan. 2. If you want to see mountains and water, go to the rockery and waterfall in the inner garden, and then go around the lake for a spring outing and flower viewing. 3. The restroom is in the northwest corner of the garden.

Spring has quietly arrived in Yuyuan Garden. On this visit, the wintersweet had already withered, but the red plum blossoms were still in bloom. Newly budding crabapple blossoms and blooming white magnolias swayed gracefully against the white walls and black tiles. Camellias by the lake were quietly gathering strength, silently watching the three or five people sitting leisurely by the lake. The willow trees are quietly sprouting, and the touch of light green will catch your eye from time to time. There are also ducks that are the first to know the warmth of the spring river, quacking from time to time to attract you 🦆 🌟Highlights: 1. You can admire the couplets on the buildings throughout Yuyuan Garden, each with its own unique charm. 2. The outer garden, which is to the left of the main entrance, is mainly for viewing the lake and mountain scenery. Although there are not many flowers in this season, there are scenic views at every turn, enough for you to slowly experience the breath of spring. Accompanied by the music of the scenic area, you can relax and unwind. 3. The inner garden is on the right-hand side of the entrance. After visiting the former residences of the garden's owner, Hu Enxie, and his mother, you can take a good look around the garden. There are rockeries, pavilions, and a unique orchid wall. The Fenyin Pavilion has a lot of information about the history of Yuyuan Garden, which you can read carefully if you are interested. 4. Sometimes there is a waterfall on the rockery, sometimes there is mist lingering, and occasionally you will see couples taking wedding photos and girls taking artistic photos. 🚉Transportation: Yuyuan Garden is located on Mingyang Street. You can navigate here. There is a parking lot nearby. It costs CNY 6 per hour. You can also take the bus. Buses 43, 4, and 317, as well as subway line 1, can all get you there. Bus 4 and the subway are both a bit further away. 📝Tips: The restrooms are in the northwest corner of the scenic area. If you are traveling with children or elderly people, plan your route accordingly.

Yu Garden - a famous garden in the late Qing Dynasty, the largest private garden in Nanjing, has a history of one hundred years. Nanjing Yu Garden, with its water and rocks, has "70 scenes before and after". Yu Garden is located at No. 1 Hujia Garden, Mingyang Street, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It is a part of the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt. It was one of the private villas famous in Liangjiang during the late Qing Dynasty. Because the owner of the garden was Hu Enxie, it was also named Hu Garden, commonly known as Hu Family Garden. This garden consists of two parts: the inner garden and the outer garden. The outer garden is dominated by hills and Yu Lake, while the inner garden is dominated by rockery, halls and other buildings. Yu Garden is dotted with Mingze Hall, where Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guoquan, Zhang Zhidong and other famous scholars gathered, Chunhui Hall, where Hu Enxie took care of his mother to repay her kindness in raising him, and the Inner Garden rockery, which is famous for its exquisite rocks and the shape of the stones that resemble a lion. The biggest feature of the entire garden is its water and rock works. There is a saying that goes, "The beautiful sights in the city make the eyes tired, only the water and rock works in Yuyuan Garden are amazing."

Recently, I visited Hongyin Shanfang in Suzhou, and after returning to Nanjing, I visited Yuyuan Garden. I visited in winter, so I didn't have high expectations. But after visiting, I found that the garden was well maintained and had a different feel in each season. 🌟 Highlights: In this season, in addition to the usual background music, beautiful giant spring couplets are hung on the island in the middle of the lake. Ducks quack and swim leisurely in the lake. The Chunhui Pavilion near the rockery in the inner garden is also full of spring couplets. I saw one that read, "Don't dislike the small private garden, the beauty is natural." There are wintersweet flowers in both the inner and outer gardens. The light yellow flowers are very beautiful. 🚉 Transportation: There is a parking lot near Yuyuan Garden. Parking costs CNY 1.5 per 15 minutes or CNY 6 per hour. You can also park at the entrance, but you must park in a marked parking space. Also, Mingyang Street, north of Hualu Beigang, is one-way. Drivers should take note. 👍 Recommendations: If you have time, the couplets on the buildings in Yuyuan Garden are worth a look. I take a photo of the couplet in Mingze Hall every time I visit: "Be content with what you have, and you will be happy. Be content with nothing, and you will be even happier." There is a courtyard behind Mingze Hall. The north side is the back building of Mingze Hall, and the corridors on the second floor of the east, west, and north sides are connected. The corridors on the first floor are also connected. The first floor of the back building is the bedroom and study of Hu Enxie and Hu Guangguo, and the second floor is the bedroom of Hu Enxie's mother and daughter. The side rooms are for the maids. If it snows, the garden will be even more beautiful. Wait for the opportunity.

Yu Garden is located west of Laomen. There are different scenery throughout the year. There are green willows in spring, lotus in summer, fruits in autumn and snow in winter. This time I went to Yuyuan and saw maple leaves 🍁. Although there were not many, it also fulfilled my wish to enjoy the maple leaves in autumn. Other things worth seeing in Yu Garden include the orchid wall. I like to look at the scenery outside from the orchid wall. The same scenery seen through the gaps in the wall has a different flavor. The colors in Yuyuan are particularly rich during this season. Dark yellow, light yellow, dark red, light green, light blue... 🗓Itinerary: If you like to see the mountains and rivers, turn left after entering the door. In the guest hut, you can see the tools used to plow the fields. You can also go to Yanqing Pavilion to overlook the entire Yu Garden scenery. In summer, there are also peaches, loquats, etc. Camellias are also arranged along the hillside. In this season, you can only see black swans wandering leisurely in the lake. The lotus also withered. But it doesn’t matter, you can sit lazily by the lake and listen to the black swans’ occasional cawing sounds.

|This goldenrain tree is plotting a grand visual feast. Nanjing|This goldenrain tree is plotting a grand visual feast. Due to the weather, the blooming time of the goldenrain tree has quietly advanced this year. Unexpectedly, the goldenrain tree in Yuyuan Garden has already borne fruit first. Mr. Shi Tiesheng once described the goldenrain tree in his book: "Under the big tree, the broken sunlight spots, the wind blows the little lanterns all over the ground, rolling as if they are silently ringing countless small bells." Now it just needs a gust of autumn wind. No one knows when, but the goldenrain tree has become the street tree of Nanjing. The tree is tall, with flowers blooming at the top and fruits growing at the same time. When you open a leaf of the little lantern, there are green beans inside. All plants have seeds, but none like the goldenrain tree, where flowers and fruits coexist, hidden in such beautiful lanterns. Maybe it wants to stand taller, float farther, and pursue poetry and distant places. Speaking of which, Yuyuan Garden is really beautiful this season, with crape myrtle and goldenrain trees as classmates. It exudes the unique elegance of Jiangnan, giving the feeling of a private garden. All photos were taken on September 6, 2024.
