China Shanghai Yu Garden

Besides Beijing Olympic, there are so many other unique attractions from China. You can travel to Yu Garden that was built between 1559 and 1577, under the dynasty of Ming, for Pan In, a civil servant of the Justice Court of Sichuan. It extends on 2 ha and was conceived in the purest tradition of the Chinese gardens. Yu Garden occupies an area of 20,000 square meters (about five acres). However, the small size is not a representative of the attractions of the garden. The pavilions, halls, rockeries, ponds and cloisters all have unique characteristics. There are six main scenic areas in the garden: Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. Each area features several scenic spots within its borders.
