The Yu Garden
is a classical Chinese garden with over 30 pavilions linked by a maze of corridors and bridges over ponds.
Located in a busy street in the southern section of the city, Yu Garden contains many scenic attractions. Here one will find pavilions and pagodas, rockeries and fountains, old trees and precious flowers, exquisitely arranged in the traditional way. The Spring Heralding Hall (Dianchuntang) is the most outstanding among the garden’s many buildings. In 1853 when the anti-imperialist revolt began, the Small Sword Society used this building as its headquarters, and it has become a memorial museum.
The present-day Yuyuan occupies an area of two hectares (5 acres) and is built in a style associated with the renowned Suzhou gardens, which are characterized by an exquisite layout, beautiful scenery and artistic architecture. Each pavilion, hall, stone and stream in the garden expresses the essence of South China's landscape design from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Yuyuan Garden is a representative of the classical architectural style and is acknowledged as an architectural miracle in the region southeast of the Yangtze River.
