#awesomepic #shanghai #100waysoftravel #cityscape Located in the heart of Shanghai’s Old City, Yuyuan Garden is a classical Chinese garden that offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s fast-paced energy. It was originally constructed in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yunduan, a local official, who created it as a sanctuary for his aging parents. Over the centuries, the garden has undergone periods of neglect and restoration, reflecting the changing tides of Shanghai’s history. Today, it stands as one of the city’s most treasured cultural landmarks. Yuyuan Garden is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese landscape design. Spanning five acres, it features a carefully crafted mix of rockeries, lush greenery, pavilions, and scenic ponds filled with koi fish. Each turn in the garden reveals intricate stone pathways, quiet courtyards, and meticulously arranged plants, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. Its most famous feature is the Grand Rockery, a striking artificial hill composed of stones, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding garden. Located close to the City God Temple and the bustling Yuyuan Bazaar, the garden is easily accessible via the Yuyuan Garden metro station. Visitors come to immerse themselves in the tranquility and beauty of this historical site, making it a must-see attraction in Shanghai. Yuyuan Garden not only showcases the grandeur of ancient Chinese garden design but also serves as a peaceful escape where history and culture are intertwined. The ticket can be bought by the counter on the same day and costs 40RMB. Try to come earlier to avoid the crowd.

#travelanywhere Yuyuan Metro Station on Line 14 is one of the most beautiful metro stations in Shanghai. Opened in 2022 and designed by Xing Design, the station is rich with cultural elements. For example, the curved water-wave ceiling creates the illusion of the Huangpu River flowing above the metro line. These "waves" lap onto the columns, creating a rhythmic pulsation and an arcade. The curvature of the "wave tips" is inspired by the Chinese eaves of the nearby City God Temple, subtly echoing multiple cultural elements of the site. The design is incredibly clever. The water-wave ceiling is made of tens of thousands of aluminum panels that are cut, bent, and spliced together. This ceiling system is combined with lighting to form a large, three-dimensional LED canopy that can display various light effects. It can even change lighting performances for different holidays, such as China-Red for National Day and the Spring Festival, or pink and flower petals for Valentine’s Day. If you visit Shanghai, don’t miss the chance to see this stunning metro station! #shanghai #china #shanghailife #shanghaimetro #yuyuangarden

We took a ride from hostel to get here. The ticket is 60 rmb and you can spend 2 hours strolling the whole garden. On that day, there were some couples taking wedding photos with Chinese traditional dress. After visiting here, you can grab something for lunch/dinner or some snacks at the end of the garden since its a big square with lots of foods and drinks. Highly recommend the cakes and xiaolongbao Lu So Lang #yuyuan #豫园
