Yu Garden is one of the five classical gardens in Shanghai (the only one located in the city), and was once a private garden of officials in the Ming Dynasty. This classical garden with a history of more than 400 years is exquisitely designed, with a quiet environment, pavilions, rockery, and ponds. It is a rare and elegant place in a bustling city. In the garden, you can also see hundreds of plaques and inscriptions from famous artists, as well as a stone sculpture exhibition hall with a large collection of collections.
As a national intangible cultural heritage, the Yuyuan Lantern Festival has become a landmark Spring Festival cultural event in Shanghai since its inception in 1995. For 30 years, the Yuyuan Lantern Festival has remained vibrant and relevant. Rooted in the heart of Shanghai's old city and the Yuyuan area, the cultural heart of Shanghai, this lantern festival has grown alongside the city. From lantern making, intangible cultural heritage preservation, technological innovation, and humanistic stories, it tells Chinese stories of Eastern aesthetics to the world, evolving from a traditional folk lantern festival into a culturally vibrant IP, creating a national and international Yuyuan Lantern Festival. More than just Yuyuan, more than just lanterns, more than just Shanghai.
Yu Garden can be said to be the most ancient Jiangnan garden in Shanghai. It was originally built by Pan Yunduan, an official of the Ming Dynasty, and took 18 years to complete. The name of the garden is derived from "pleasant to one's elderly parents", with "Yu" and "Yu" being interchangeable. However, Pan Yunduan's father had already passed away before Yu Garden was fully completed, and in fact, Yu Garden later became Pan Yunduan's place of entertainment.
Yu Garden has a history of more than 400 years from the Ming Dynasty to the present. It originally covered an area of more than 70 acres and has undergone many renovations and reconstructions. It is now one of the must-see attractions for many people visiting Shanghai. It is rare to have such a large Jiangnan garden in the highly modernized urban area of Shanghai.
