Your guide leads you into Yu Garden, founded in the Ming dynasty (Jiajing era) and traditionally attributed to Pan Yunduan, who built it as a filial retreat for his parents—a garden made for “home.” Inside, zigzag bridges link pavilions, rockeries thread through corridors and courtyards, and the signature Taihu stone, the “Exquisite Jade Rock,” showcases the Jiangnan art of making the small feel grand.

By night, the Bund glows in warm gold while Lujiazui’s skyline shimmers across the river. The blue hour—about 10–30 minutes after sunset—is peak photo time: rippling reflections, lit façades, and that postcard-perfect blend of old Shanghai and the modern city.
