【China】Shanghai Yu Garden Ticket

Yu Garden is one of the five classical gardens in Shanghai (the only one located in the city), and was once a private garden of officials in the Ming Dynasty. This classical garden with a history of more than 400 years is exquisitely designed, with a quiet environment, pavilions, rockery, and ponds. It is a rare and elegant place in a bustling city. In the garden, you can also see hundreds of plaques and inscriptions from famous artists, as well as a stone sculpture exhibition hall with a large collection of collections.

Yu Garden is the most ancient Jiangnan garden in Shanghai. It was originally built by Pan Yunduan, an official in the Ming Dynasty. It took 18 years to build. The name of the garden is taken from the meaning of "pleasant old relatives", "Yu" and "Yu" are similar. However, Pan Yunduan's father died before Yu Garden was fully completed. In fact, Yu Garden later became Pan Yunduan's entertainment place.

Yu Garden has a history of more than 400 years from the Ming Dynasty to the present. It originally covered an area of more than 70 acres and has undergone many renovations and reconstructions. It is now one of the must-see attractions for many people visiting Shanghai. It is rare to have such a large Jiangnan garden in the highly modernized urban area of Shanghai.
