Yu Yuan

Shanghai is the largest city in China and it’s also its most cosmopolitan. I love this city for it draws visitors to experience the past, present, and future all at once. 

In the heart of Shanghai, is the Yu Yuan Garden, which is a very charming site. The buildings here are a combination of the old and the new. Some of the buildings are reconstructions of old Chinese houses. This place is worth the visit especially if you would like to do souvenir shopping, visit teahouses and of course local restaurants. I found a good place to purchase my scrapbooking materials so it’s a definite place to come back to.
