Yuyuan Gardens

If you really want Shanghai to blow you away, theres nothing quite like wandering down a crowded street full of shiny skyscrapers only to end up in the quite and green calm of Yuyuan.  Seriously, its almost confusing sometimes how diverse this city is.  You can sit on a bench in Yuyuan and meditate with a view of the world’s tallest building in Pudong under construction!  Regardless of the massive urbanization in Shanghai, Yuyuan will always be a lovely place to escape for a bit and to enjoy traditional Chinese culture. The little plaza before the park entrance. The buildings outside the actual park were mainly restaurants. Crowded, as always! The tea house just outside the entrance to Yuyuan The first little pond you encounter before getting lost among the rest. Ting and Michelle pose on the porch Ting and all of her new fish friends! If only all buildings were as pretty as this one. Inside a building at Yuyuan Ting and Michelle have fun with trees! One of the nicest views in the city.
