Yu Garden - China Travel

introduce

Shanghai Yu Garden is located in the northeast of Shanghai Yu Garden Tourist Business District, adjacent to Shanghai Town God's Temple and Shanghai Yu Garden Tourist Mall. In 1982, it was approved by the State Council as a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".

Yu Garden was first built in the Jiajing and Wanli years of Ming Dynasty, and has a history of more than 450 years. Pan Yunduan, the owner of the garden, once served as the chief envoy of Sichuan. In order to allow his father to enjoy his old age in peace, Pan Yunduan began to gather stones to dig ponds, build pavilions and art bamboos, and build gardens on his vegetable field since the Ming Jiajing Jiwei year (1559). After more than 20 years of painstaking efforts, Yu Garden was built.

"Yu" means "peace" and "Antai", and the name "Yu Garden" means "Yuyue old relatives". At the beginning of its construction, Yu Garden covered an area of more than 70 mu. It was carefully designed by Zhang Nanyang, a famous gardener in the Ming Dynasty, and personally participated in the construction. The whole garden is magnificent in scale and beautiful in scenery.

The current Yu Garden covers an area of 2 hectares, with uneven pavilions, towering mountains and rocks, and verdant trees.

In Yu Garden, there are still historical sites such as the birthplace of "Shanghai School of Painting and Calligraphy" - "Zangshulou", and "Dianchun Hall" where the headquarters of the Shanghai Small Knife Society Uprising is located. The ancients of the past dynasties have praised Yu Garden as "the most beautiful garden in the southeast" and "the most famous garden in the southeast".

Many domestic and foreign political leaders and celebrities have visited Yu Garden, which is a rare traditional cultural business card of Shanghai.

Because of the epidemic, it feels like time flies by so fast, three years go by in a blink of an eye passed away. I haven’t been to Shanghai for a long time. I feel that only the people have changed. The scenery remains the same, but the crowds are lost. Gone to the hustle and bustle of the past. The whole turn down, the benefits of fewer people and fewer people, you can travel around every place with peace of mind At the sights, carefully appreciate the sights of the previous hasty trip, The advantage here is that there are a lot of options to eat nearby. After a while, You can eat some small specialties of Shanghai nearby.

Yu Garden (Yu Garden) is located in the northeast of the old city of Shanghai, adjacent to Fuyou Road in the north, Anren Street in the east, and Shanghai Old Town God’s Temple in the southwest. It is a classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River. More than acres. In the park are Yu Linglong, known as the three famous stones in the south of the Yangtze River, and Dianchun Hall, the command post of the Small Knife Society Uprising in 1853. On the side of the park, there are tourist attractions such as Chenghuang Temple and shopping street. Yu Garden was opened to the public in 1961, and was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 1982. Yu Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years as of 2015. The owner of the garden, Pan Yunduan, the governor of Sichuan Province, built gardens on several vegetable fields west of Shichun Hall, the Pan family's residence, since 1559 (the year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty). After more than 20 years of painstaking efforts, Yu Garden was built. "Yu" means "peace" and "Antai", and the name "Yu Garden" means "Yuyue old relatives". At that time, Yu Garden covered an area of more than 70 mu. It was designed by Zhang Nanyang, a famous garden builder in Ming Dynasty, and he personally participated in the construction. The ancients praised Yu Garden as "the most beautiful garden in the southeast" and "the most famous garden in the southeast". Pan Yunduan's family was in decline in his later years. In 1601 (the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), Pan Yunduan passed away, and the Pan family declined day by day, unable to afford the huge expenses required for garden repair and management. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Yu Garden was owned by Zhang Zhaolin. From then until 1760 (the 25th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty), in order not to obliterate this scenic spot, some local wealthy businessmen and gentry gathered money to buy Yu Garden, and spent more than 20 years rebuilding the tower and adding rocks. At that time, there was an East Garden in the east of the Town God's Temple, which is now the Inner Garden, and the Yu Garden was slightly to the west, so it was renamed West Garden. In 1842 (the 22nd year of Qing Daoguang), the first Opium War broke out. Foreign invaders invaded Shanghai, and the British army occupied Yu Garden and ravaged it. In the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1853), the Shanghai Small Knife Society launched an uprising in Shanghai in response to the Taiping Revolution. After the failure of the uprising, the Qing soldiers burned, killed and looted the city, severely damaged the Yuyuan Garden, and burned Dianchun Hall, Xiangxue Hall, Osmanthus Hall, Deyue Tower and other buildings.
