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).
