Yuyuan Garden is a garden with a rich history and culture. It was built in the Ming
Dynasty, more than 400 years ago. It was owned by a government officer named Pan
Yunduan then. It was built for Pan’s father as a place for him to enjoy a quiet and happy time
in his old age.
Yuyuan Garden is in Huangpu District, Shanghai. It covers an area of about 20,000
square metres. The garden has all the necessary parts that a traditional Chinese garden should
have: the pavilions(亭子), rockeries(假山) and pools.
