9/43.- Shanghai, Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar

In Downtown Shanghai, not far from the Bund, is another of the sights a tourist should not miss, the Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar.

The Yuyuan Garden is the place to buy all kinds of traditional, and not so traditional, Chinese souvenirs: silk dresses and handkerchiefs, Chinese figurines, traditional toys, T-shirts, local food, and so on.

In the complex of Yu Yuan garden, you will also find shops, bars, restaurants, tea and coffee shops. There is also an interesting temple and a 400-year old garden. A complete visit to the area will take you almost half a day. Although the buildings may look pretty ancient, almost all of them were finished at the beginning of the 1990's.
