Feel 100% of Shanghai Yuyuan with Qipao

[Shop's Palace Tour Extra 🏰 - Shanghai, China]

Shop is back with another palace tour :)
Are you curious about which country we're going to today? It's China!

In fact, Shanghai was not the capital of China, and it's a region that grew during the late Qing Dynasty, so there's no palace. Instead, there's a garden that's as wide and beautiful as a palace. It's called Yuyuan Garden.

Yuyuan Garden was built by Pan Yuandan of the Ming Dynasty as a gesture of filial piety for his father. It was damaged during the 100 years of chaos, but was restored by the Chinese government in 1961.

It's still well-maintained and visited by many tourists. I went there wearing a cheongsam to really feel Yuyuan Garden! My friend and I tried to capture the colors of China in red and blue.

There's a nine-curved bridge at the entrance to Yuyuan Garden. It's said that the bridge was made round because of a superstition that Chinese ghosts can't walk on curved paths. When you cross the Gukgyo Bridge and enter Yuyuan, a beautiful garden unfolds before you!

It is a garden owned by an official, but it is really beautiful and full of things to see, so I recommend visiting Yuyuan when you come to Shanghai. 6v6 (+ If you wear a cheongsam and take a picture, the atmosphere will be twice as good and the pictures will be twice as pretty!)
