Description

Yu Garden is a famous ancient private garden that was built in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) with a history of more than 450 years. It was built by an officer for his old father to spend the old age. Thus you can hear the conception of filial piety is repeatedly mentioned there. Book the tickets and you will be addicted to the beautiful scenery. The pavilions are scattered, the rockeries are grotesque, the trees are green and the lake is clear. It is like a small forest in city.

QR code needed to enter, never sent by email

Absolute disaster, We could not redeem our tickets, we NEVER got an email with the required QR code. Without the QR code, we could not enter the Yu Gardens. We lost our money, but most valuable, we lost our time. The least you can do is return us our money, but we lost the opportunity of visiting Yu gardens.. We are no longer Shanghai Never to recommend this activity.

Neither fu nor fa

The truth is that it is not very careful especially the lakes it has, I expected it more spectacular. Entrance is pretty expensive for what you see inside.

Yu Garden

I recommend coming early in the morning. The place fills up fast and loses its magic with all those people. A must-visit in a stay in Shanghai.

Absolutely love this company

I booked a lot of my experiences through this company and I must say I am so happy I did. Every experience has detailed descriptions on how to get there and how to use the ticket. Also got extra emails with helpful tips. Any question I asked you as answered so so quickly. I went during a holiday period for China and they still managed to get me tickets. The up cost for the tickets in minimal compared to other places. Great company that saved me a lot of worries and stress.
