A Visit to Yu Yuan (豫园)

Absolutely stunning! The Yu Gardens or Yu Yuan (豫园) was built in 1559 during the Ming dynasty, located at the center of the Old City. It's a beautiful garden with serene Ting Zi (gazebos) and skillfully crafted stones. We tried to avoid the crowd by going on a weekday afternoon, but there were STILL a lot of people trying to cross the nine zigzag bridge (Jiu Qu Qiao 九曲桥).

Korean New Year 구정

It's been 13 years since I celebrated 구정(Korean New Year) in Korea. It was really neat doing the Sae Bae (새배) to my relatives and getting money! Sae Bae is when you take a bow to your elders during the New Year, and they give you blessings and also give you money! Almost the same as the Chinese Hong Bao :)

I had a lovely time with my Grandma and my relatives!
