Shanghai Yu Garden 🎑 A Double Surprise Tour of Ancient Architecture and Delicious Food

📍Visit Spots: Yu Garden (Yu Garden Old Street, Huangpu District, Shanghai), Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop (Inside Yu Garden Shopping Mall)

🚇 Super convenient transportation!

Take the subway to Yu Garden Station, exit, and cross the street to get there—no need to walk around too much!

🏯 Must-see Ancient Buildings: Every Step is a Painting

Yu Garden's pavilions and towers hold hidden surprises—the winding Nine-Curve Bridge, with its eaves reflected in the pond beneath, makes taking photos feel like stepping into an ancient painting, whether early morning or dusk! The "Lakeside Pavilion" in the garden is a classic landmark. Locals say every brick here has a century-old story.

🥟 Culinary Soul: The "Straw Miracle" at Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop

When you're tired of exploring, make sure to visit Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop! The signature crab roe soup dumplings are simply divine—they're snow-white. Poke a small hole in the wrapper to insert a straw, sip the broth first, then bite open the wrapper to savor the delicious blend of crab roe and meat filling. 💥 (Reminder: You'll have to wait in line for these made-to-order dumplings, but it's definitely worth it!)

💡 Practical Tips:

✅ Wear comfortable shoes! The garden is larger than it looks, and your feet will be sore after exploring.
✅ Buy some "pear paste candy" as a souvenir, a Yu Garden specialty.
✅ The area is even more beautiful at night when the lights are on, with the ancient buildings draped with lanterns, like stepping back into the Lantern Festival.
