My Wonderful Time in Shanghai----part two

21.10.2006

Then we went and visited Yuyuan Garden. "yu" in Chinese means "peace and health’”, I felt Yuyuan Garden is really a place of peace and comfort in the heart of bustling Shanghai. To my friend I got that Yuyuan Garden began as a private garden created by Pan Yunduan, who spent almost 20 years - and all of his savings - to build a garden in order to please his parents in their old age. Now as a combination of garden, temple and small commodity market, Yuyuan Garden presents a strong local characteristic, and is called as 'A kingdom of small commodities.' Besides seeing the exquisite layout, beautiful scenery, and the artistic style of the garden architecture, tourist can also purchase traditional Chinese products as well as gold and jewels here.
After lunch, we visited Yufo (Jade Buddha) Temple, which is one of the most important and well-known Buddhist temples in Shanghai. The temple got its name because of the two statues of Sakyamuni brought from Burma - one in standing position and one in sitting position.
On the morning of the third day, we visited Pudong new city and the Shanghai Oriental TY Tower, which stands 468 meters’ high and is the world's third tallest TV and radio tower. The tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round. The pearl at the very top of the tower contains shops, restaurants and sightseeing floor. The view of Shanghai from this height filled me with wonder at the beauty that surrounds me.
We then had a one-hour cruise on the Huangpu River. A Huangpu River Cruise is one of the best ways to see both old and new Shanghai. I had a view of the active Shanghai.
Shanghai！Thank you for giving me a wonderful time in your hug!
