I think Shanghai deservesa lot of respect for deciding to forge ahead into the future.Shanghai has still managed to retain much of its old city, however. There is a river that winds through the city, and it effectively divides the "old" from the "new." The city's(37) colonial architecture literally stands across the river from the futuristic skyscrapers that announce the city's incredible (38).This divide was (39) part of the city's master development plan, and the city should be applauded for that.

Sometimes, it seems as if modern architects have forgotten the roots of groundbreaking architecture and design. Of the relatively few countries noted for their long and productive history of classical architecture, China is one of even fewer that have embraced this history.Most people familiar with the city of Suzhou are also aware of its epithet: "Heaven on Earth." Yet anyone who has visited its famous gardens is all too aware that the beauty is often marred by mobs of parading tour groups. Surprisingly, it's a well kept secret that our very own Shanghai is actually home to five classical gardens (planned and built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties), many of which equal the splendor on display in Suzhou. Spread out over the vastness of the city, visits to the five gardens not only provide a tempting taste of Suzhou close to home but also reveal the varied faces and personalities Shanghai itself has to offer.Nearly every tourist to Shanghai follows their guidebook to Yu Yuan and braves the surrounding onslaught of postcard and antique vendors. It is, without a doubt, the most well-known, easily accessible and expensive of the city's classically designed gardens. For this reason, it is alsothe most impressive. Built in 1559 by wealthy Ming officials, the garden today stands as testament to the poetic extravagance of China's dynastic heritage. Lakeside pagodas, enchanting halls, and a mazelike rockery all inhabit this welcome oasis in the heart of modern Shanghai, and it becomes a perfect place to relax and feel the speed of life slow to a crawl.Winning points for its overwhelming feeling of peace, seclusion, and serenity is the Pond of the Drunken Bai. Designed and constructed during the Ming era in honor of Tang poet Bai Juyi, the garden harbors the many splendors of both Suzhou and Yu Yuan without the crowds. Odds are you'll be sharing the considerable expanse of green with only a handful of local gossipy seniors. The winding corridors, shaded pagodas, and still waters will strongly suggest that a scroll painting has come to life for your sole pleasure.With only a brief distance separating them, the next two gardens merit praise for their seemingly perfect marriage of landscaped flora and lazy waterways. The Garden of Ancient Splendor and the Garden of Autumn Clouds were both private gardens during the Ming Dynasty. The rustling bamboo forests, elaborate architecture, and tranquil lotus ponds provide a perfect respite for city-weary souls. Rounding out the list is the smallest and most remote member of the five: the Garden of Meandering Streams. Though it provides beautifully shaded pathways bordered by fragrant blooming wisteria, it nevertheless pales in comparison to its four cousins.Each of Shanghai's gardens was extensively damaged during the succession of wars beginning from the Qing Dynasty, but the 20th century also saw substantial reconstruction and renovation efforts restore much of their original glory; today's nominal admission fees are contributions to this ongoing endeavor.41.
