Yuyuan Garden
This is a 400+ year old garden built about the same time the Philippines was discovered by Magellan!
A government officer of the Ming Dynasty named Pan Yunduan had this built and dedicated to his parents as a place for them to enjoy in their old age.
This huge garden (about 5 acres or 20,000 sqm) has koi ponds, lovely pavilions, winding footpaths and bridges. All these give a totally picturesque display that is characteristically Chinese-designed.

a typical Shanghai postcard pic :)
