I went to Yuyuan Garden on 25 September 2024 which was my last day in Shanghai, China. The garden is so beautiful and amazing that I spent almost 1 hour there discovering the beauty of the Chinese Cultural & Architectural beauty. The entry fee to the garden was 40 RMB and the printed ticket was scanned before entering the garden. There are some halls were different chairs, tables and some other furniture were kept. These were very old and historical items. There was also some water reservoirs which were stunningly beautiful to look at. The trees were also very much eye- soothing. There was a dragon sculpture inside which tail was too long. There are also different markets for different products around Yuyuan Garden. I bought Chinese Tea and some other items for my family from those markets. Hope to visit again in future.

It abuts the Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Huxinting Teahouse and the Yu Garden Bazaar.

Yu Garden, or Yuyuan Garden, is a renowned classical Chinese garden located in the heart of Shanghai's old city. Established in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yunduan, a government official, the garden was intended as a tranquil retreat for his elderly father. Spanning roughly five acres, Yu Garden exemplifies traditional Chinese garden design, blending art, architecture, and natural elements in a harmonious and serene setting. The garden's layout is intricately designed, with scenic areas separated by "dragon walls"—curved walls topped with dragon figures that create a sense of seclusion and mystery. Pathways meander through lush landscapes, leading visitors past koi-filled ponds, ornate rockeries, and elegant pavilions, each offering picturesque views and reflecting traditional Chinese aesthetics. Notable features include the Grand Rockery, a striking artificial mountain standing 14 meters high, and the exquisite Jade Rock, a porous, 3.3-meter-high rock said to be one of the finest examples of its kind. Pavilions like the Sansui Hall and the Wanhua Chamber showcase classical Chinese architecture with their upturned eaves and intricate woodwork, serving as venues for social gatherings and cultural events. The garden also houses several traditional teahouses, where visitors can experience the art of Chinese tea culture amidst serene surroundings. Yu Garden's significance extends beyond its beauty; it has endured centuries of change and adversity, including damage during the Opium Wars and neglect during the Cultural Revolution. Today, it stands restored and preserved, drawing millions of visitors annually who seek to experience its historical charm and peaceful ambiance. Nestled amid the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, Yu Garden offers a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage and serves as a tranquil escape from the urban frenzy, embodying the timeless allure of classical Chinese garden design.
