Yu Garden

🌈Jiyu Shuilang: Named after the 'Jiyu Peak' stone next to the corridor. The corridor is a hundred meters long, the longest water corridor in Jiangnan classical gardens, winding and twisting, with ancient trees dripping with verdancy, red fish swimming in the pond, pavilions and kiosks overflowing with light and color, full of poetic and picturesque charm. 🌈Nine Lions Pavilion: This pavilion is elegant and beautiful, with a moon platform in front, half spanning the pond. You can enjoy tea and watch fish by the railing, and listen to the snow while boiling wine. 🌈Cloud-Piercing Dragon Wall: The Cloud-Piercing Dragon Wall is located to the west of Dianchun Hall. The dragon's head is made of clay, and the dragon's body is made of tiles to form scales. The dragon's head is mighty, and the dragon's body is winding. The entire dragon seems to want to raise its head and fly, piercing into the clouds. There are also several other dragon walls in the garden: there is a sleeping dragon behind the large rockery. There are twin dragons playing with a pearl to the west of Hexu Hall, and a sleeping dragon in front of the 'Can be Viewed' in the inner garden. Each has its own characteristics. 🌈Kuai Tower: To the southeast of Dianchun Hall, there is a lake stone rockery Baoyun Rock, with water and stones intertwined, and the caves are deep and secluded. Looking at the mountain stone from a distance, it is like a white cloud in the sky. There is a double-storey pavilion on the mountain; the upper floor is called Kuai Tower, and you can overlook the large rockery and the panoramic view of Yuyuan Garden from the tower, and your mood is cheerful, hence the name; the lower floor is called Yanshuang Pavilion, with carved beams and painted eaves, quite exquisite. Going down from Kuai Tower to the south, there are Jingyi Pavilion and Tingli Pavilion, surrounded by flower walls, forming a small courtyard. 🌈Tingtao Pavilion: Tingtao Pavilion is located to the east of Jiyu Shuilang, facing north and south as a two-story building. 'Tingtao' means that this place is close to the Huangpu River, and the sound of the waves seems to be heard. The south part is a pavilion, and the upper part is an elegant room. On top of it, there is a single-legged crane standing alone, looking south across the pool to Hanbi Tower. ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-16:30 (Stop entering the garden at 16:00.

Yuyuan Garden's lantern festival has recently blown up the circle of friends again, it looks so beautiful that I can't help but go to check in. However, the actual look is slightly disappointing. First of all, the beautiful lanterns are concentrated on a short street on Wenchang Street. The photos show probably all the beauty. The layout of the central square has not been completely completed, it looks like a dark piece, and there is no exciting clip. The Nine-Turn Bridge did not light up, and there were still a lot of people. It is estimated that it will take some time to complete all the arrangements, and there are too many people on holidays. The child slept on his father's shoulder all the way. I advise everyone to wait for a while, avoid holidays and weekends and then go.

| Yu Garden, Shanghai. This complex of classical Chinese architectural gardens, built during the Ming Dynasty, is located in the northeast of the old city of Shanghai, bordered by Fuyou Road to the north and Anren Street to the east, adjacent to the Old City God Temple in Shanghai. Yu Garden Bazaar does not require an admission ticket, lights up at 17:30, and the night view is even more beautiful after dark! Located in the central square market of Huabao Building, it instantly feels like the bustling night market in 'Chang'an Twenty Thousand Li' at night. Location: No. 249 Fangbang Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai Transportation: Take the subway lines 10 or 14 and get off at Yu Garden Station. Admission: Free, no reservation required Tour Route: Yu Garden Bazaar Gate 2 - Gate 5 - Central Square Summer Market - Nine-Turn Bridge Food & Drink: There are many snack shops along the street, and you can drink tea and rest when you are tired. Why must you visit Yu Garden at night? Because only during this time, any photo you take is quite impressive. Yu Garden Department Store is an old-brand store within Yu Garden; the miniature world theme park on the basement level realistically restores the changes in Yu Garden over 400 years through miniature models, definitely suitable for taking children to play. On the 1st and 2nd floors of the mall, a new shop called 'Cong Cong Store' has opened, which is a crossover collaboration with Xiaoguo Factory. It targets a very clear demographic with a youthful and vibrant style. In addition to the famous Green Wave Corridor and Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop, other traditional Shanghai specialties such as Ningbo Tangyuan, Dahuchun Pan-fried Buns, Shao Wansheng, and Xian De Lai Spare Ribs and Rice Cake can also be found in Yu Garden. Outside Yu Garden, on the old Jiaochang Road, there is also an outdoor night Guochao market, which includes many well-known domestic brands and can also be considered a snack street.

👍Most recommended: In the midsummer, the lanterns on the side of the Nine Curves Bridge are lit again, and the theme lanterns are eye-catching. On the lake, half of a huge watermelon is soaked in water, and the red melon flesh makes people appetizing. 🌟Highlights: The creative lanterns this time are based on the cultural symbols of the solar terms such as greenery, lotus style, and ice cubes, combined with summer fashion elements, the shape of watermelon slices, not only fun and good-looking, but also visually "cooling" effect. ✅Must experience: Refreshing watermelon fruit scoop, cute frog prince... It's so much fun
