The serene afternoon at Yuyuan Garden, feeling the breath of Shanghai.

Yuyuan Garden, nestled in the heart of Shanghai's bustling streets, felt like stepping into a time machine. Walking through the modern skyscrapers, you suddenly find yourself surrounded by stone walls, traditional pavilions, and picturesque scenes reflected on the pond. The rustling sound of bamboo swaying in the wind and the ripples created by koi fish on the water created a strangely soothing harmony, bringing a sense of peace.

As you stroll leisurely through Yuyuan Garden, you can deeply appreciate the intricate beauty of ancient Chinese architecture. Crossing stone bridges and sitting in a pavilion to sip tea, it felt as if all the cluttered thoughts in my mind had vanished. Especially when the afternoon sunlight illuminated the garden, the interplay of light and shadow was truly mesmerizing.

Although it's a popular tourist destination, if you find a quiet corner away from the crowds, you can experience an unexpected tranquility that makes you want to linger. A space where Shanghai's past and present coexist, Yuyuan Garden is filled with such charm.
