Introduction
Yu Garden sits in the Old City of Huangpu, Shanghai, China, a private garden begun in the Ming Jiajing era by Pan Yunduan for his father's enjoyment — its name means 'pleasing one's parents.' Pavilions, rockeries, ponds and carved beams distill the essence of Jiangnan gardening, honored as a famed southeast garden; the Jade Rock, Dianchun Hall, Zigzag Bridge and Mid-Lake Pavilion are classics. Outside lies the City God Temple bazaar and Yu Garden old street, packed with snacks and time-honored shops — a microcosm of Shanghai's blend of old and new.
