Yuyuan Garden Residential District

As you enter the grounds, a wealth of sights awaits to delight the eye. Richly decorated with buildings, pavilions, sculptures, ponds, trees and beautiful spots, the garden grounds themselves are divided into 6 zones. Among the garden's most famous attractions are the Hall of Spring Transformation, the Ancient Stage, the Moon Pavilion, the Jade Stone (Yu Linlong), and the Great Rockfall, which greets you first upon entering. In Shanghai's Old Town lies a place so stereotypically Chinese that locals call it Chinatown. Yuyuan Garden is a perfect example of a traditional Chinese ornamental garden of the Ming Dynasty. With its numerous koi ponds, pavilions, stone dragons and rock gardens, you'll feel as if you've stepped into another world right in the middle of the bustling city.
