This is a nice taste of classical chinese architecture and gardens, and it's located smack in the middle of modern Shanghai, which is growing up all around it.

Yu Garden
Last Friday after school, we headed into town to check out Yu Garden - a 16th century garden built in 1577 by a Ming Dynasty official to please his elderly father (take note, fellas). "Yu" means peace and comfort. Settled in the midst of a crazy, crowded bazaar (imagine crowds like those you see at Disney World during February break, with stall after stall of chinese trinkets), the garden is incredibly peaceful.
