The Yuyuan Garden

Well my friends, welcome to shanghai. My name is **. I’m going to be your tour guide. As an old saying in China goes: fate will bring you together if you are meant to be. It sure is fate that we are sitting side by side in the same bus to spend holiday together. Today, i will bring you to appreciate the charm of the Yuyuan Garden.

Before we arrive at our first destination—Yuyuan Garden and environs, please let me introduce the it briefly to you.

Yuyuan Garden and environs is located a few blocks south of the Bund. The locals call it the Old Town or the Old City Temple as the temple used to be the center of the public life. Before the concessions were established in Shanghai in the mid-19th century, this area had been the downtown of Shanghai for several hundred years.

Yuyuan Garden was built by Pan Yunduan, who was the administrative commissioner of Sichuan in Ming Dynasty and its designer was Zhang Nanyang, who was famous at that time.

In 1760, the garden was offered for sale by Pan family heir, who had apparently fallen on hard times. Money for it was raised by the transport merchants of Shanghai, who donated the garden to the City Temple. The former Yuyuan Garden was no longer private but rather open and accessible to the public.

During the Opium War the garden was ransacked by British officers who were barracked here and again bu the French during the Taiping Revolution.

People always call Yuyuan Garden the "shopping paradise" because there are more than 10,000 different kinds. And it’s also known as the “Commodity kingdom", many century-old shop and famous brand stores have settled there.

In addition, Yuyuan Garden and environs are also known as the "snacks Kingdom”, the food from all parts of the country and world gathered here.

As the old towns in most cities, Yuyuan Garden and environs seem to naturally invoke nostalgia(乡愁) and memory in the visitors. When the locals feel like enjoying some leisure, they would habitually come to the Old Town. Among the visitors, this area tops the list of traditional attractions in Shanghai.

A trip to Shanghai, they say, is never complete without a visit to the Yuyuan Garden and environs.

Perhaps you want to know more about these. Don’t worry, I will do specific explanations to the various attractions later.

Now, we will soon arrive at the first scenic spot--Jin Mao Tower,. I hope all of you will enjoy this trip.

That’s all of my brief introduction to the Yuyuan Garden, thx.
