The Yuyuan Garden. The full Chinese experience can be had here - goldfish and rocks abound in ponds and plenty of curving rooftops in the pavilions.

The colourful bazaar leading to the Yuyuan Garden. Don't miss eating the xiaolongbao, a pork-soup dumpling, in one of the restaurants here.
|
A policeman guarding the former residence of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, father of modern China, who lived here with his wife from 1918 to 1925. |
