After, 5 days of extensive travel action our feet, Wife and I needed some days off. The weather cooperated by being rainy and nasty. But Thursday was a nice day. We had committed to a serious day of going around the city 'on our own' with a couple of specific goals for photo shooting. One of these was the Yu Garden, the other was the Shanghai cityscape.
The Yu (or Yuang) Gardens are a Ming Dynasty era (17th century) formal garden. It is an exemplar of the style of that time and a wonderful place for peace and reflection.
If you are approaching anything of scenic interest in China (from our limited experience), you are going to run into shopping...lots and lots of shopping.
A ubiquitous sight virtually everywhere are kiosks renting power banks
Once we got into the Garden, we noted the rough conditions for the workers.
Now the Garden Itself
Sculpture and Design
People
Water
Buildings
Meditation
