Exploring Shanghai? Here’s why Yu Garden will blow your mind 🌳✨ The iconic spot in the heart of the old city is a paradise of intricate pavilions, koi-filled ponds, and classic Ming Dynasty vibes—seriously, it feels like stepping into a painting. Must-See: Yu Garden (豫园) Address: Shanghai Yuyuan Tourism Business District (main entrance north of Huxin Pavilion Jiuqu Bridge) Opening Hours: 09:00–16:30 (last entry 16:00), closed Mondays Admission: 40 RMB Insider Tip: Give yourself time to wander! Yu Garden is stunning in the daylight. You'll spot zigzag bridges, peaceful lakes, and elegant ancient buildings all around. My personal advice? Arrive early to beat the crowds for better photos—and a more tranquil stroll. The artificial hills and classic Chinese architecture make a perfect backdrop, whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or rainy. Getting Around: Hop on Shanghai Metro Line 10 to Yuyuan Garden Station—it’s a short walk from there. The local pedestrian lanes around the garden offer amazing snacks; don’t miss traditional soup dumplings nearby! Food Fix: For lunch or snacks, try Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant right outside Yu Garden for the city’s most famous xiaolongbao! Travel Tips: Carry some cash (admission fee is 40 RMB), and bring a water bottle—Shanghai can get humid, especially in summer. Spring and fall have comfy, breezy weather.
