Yu Garden is a famous ancient private garden that was built in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) with a history of more than 450 years. It was built by an officer for his old father to spend the old age. Thus you can hear the conception of filial piety is repeatedly mentioned there. Book the tickets and you will be addicted to the beautiful scenery. The pavilions are scattered, the rockeries are grotesque, the trees are green and the lake is clear. It is like a small forest in city.

The Yu Garden is definitely one of the best things to go and see in Shanghai, with beautiful architecture and ponds it is an oasis in the city centre.

I booked a lot of my experiences through this company and I must say I am so happy I did. Every experience has detailed descriptions on how to get there and how to use the ticket. Also got extra emails with helpful tips. Any question I asked you as answered so so quickly. I went during a holiday period for China and they still managed to get me tickets. The up cost for the tickets in minimal compared to other places. Great company that saved me a lot of worries and stress.

Well worth a visit, but 45-60min is sufficient. If this is your only garden visit whilst in China, perhaps spend more time and possibly a guide. For us, not the only garden and as such, no guided (and expensive) tour was perfectly fine. Shanghai old city just next door also worth while, 2 birds with one stone. Add 30min for this..

Beautiful place. The buildings and the gardens are amazing. Very hot this time of year. Busy busy busy. No social distancing and not very many masks being worn either. Cell phone and wifi are limited so post your pictures when back to hotel

I recommend coming early in the morning. The place fills up fast and loses its magic with all those people. A must-visit in a stay in Shanghai.

Duplica o incluso triplica el precio de la actividad si la coges en taquilla. Es un parque pequeño y el precio no merece la pena si lo coges mediante esta plataforma. Mejor cogerlo allí mismo en taquilla. Además si vas entre semana no hay mucha gente y podrás comprar sin problema.

Il giardino è molto bello e anche ben curato e molto pulito. Molti turisti ma nessuna calca. Si respira un’aria di serenità e tranquillità
