Yu Garden | A magnificent pearl of Shanghai-style gardens.

| A magnificent pearl of Shanghai-style gardens. If Suzhou gardens are like gentle Jiangnan women, then Yu Garden is like a majestic king. Compared to Suzhou gardens, the roof sculptures of Yu Garden are my favorite. The eaves of each building are uniquely carved, and dragons coil in the courtyard, as if they are about to fly away with the wind and clouds, showing the king's demeanor. Yu Garden was built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and it took more than 20 years to complete this magnificent scene. 🎈[Yu Garden Travel Tips] 📍Plan ahead: Yu Garden is located in the center of Shanghai, with a dense transportation network.
