Yu Garden

Gardens in the city, a good place to relax on weekends! There are mountains and waters, and a relaxing life. There are more people and the weather is quite sun-proof. Pay attention to sun protection! Wearing special clothes is very suitable for taking pictures!

The scenery is very good and it is very calming and peaceful that I can just stay here all day and because the weather is great too. Just sometimes you will get lost and come back to where you are from but still can manage to find the next one, just take a photo of the map and look see the signage or name of the buildings/houses. Only bad thing is that I wasn’t able to access the audio guide.

I preferred the City God Temple area right outside rather than the actual Yu Gardens. It was very busy but still a great few hours. Very beautiful.

This is a must see location in Shanghai. It's especially beautiful during the Chinese New Year with the giant displays and decorations.

Yu Garden is located at No. 168 Fuyou Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, covering an area of about 30 mu. It was built in the Ming Dynasty as a private garden. It was opened to the public in 1961 and is now a national scenic spot. The Huijing Building and Jiushi Temple in the park are in the center, and the panoramic view is climbed to the building; the lake center pavilion connects the two sides of the stone Jiuqu Bridge. Sansuitang has water, forests and pavilions; the collection building and the Deyue building are full of water waves, and the algae is colorful; there is a gas-plastic dragon sculpture near the ancient stage, which is a place for tourists to punch in. The snacks in Yuyuan Garden are also very historical.

Very good garden, very well protected, today I saw the staff doing sanitation to the ancient buildings, they are very careful, work too seriously, moved! ! ! This is a very distinctive Jiangnan garden, not the same as the gardens in Suzhou.

Booking tickets online to enter the park is super convenient! Saved the time to queue up to buy tickets on the spot! While queuing to enter the park, the ticket was set! But the scenic spot is chaotic because of the holiday management! People can't walk in a mess! The security guards are standing there and do not maintain order! There is not even a road sign in the park! But the view is still good

A very beautiful place specially during the chinese new year. I went there to see the different lanterns they prepared for the special occasion 💜.
