The Yu Yuan is characteristic of the architectural style of the Ming dynasty. It is a private garden located in the southeast of Shanghai, with a history of more than 400 years. The Garden, reminiscent of those in Suzhou, features more than 30 halls and pavilions. It is divided into six parts, each separated by a white brick wall, the top of which forms an undulating gray dragon. Each part of the garden, although divided, has a balance and harmony creating a unity of expression.
