Dreamy Yu Gardens

Shanghai is best known for its huge skyscrapers and beautiful skyline. I am, however, a sucker for all things old. While in Shanghai, I managed to get my fix of ancient architecture in the beautiful Yu Gardens. A little oasis in the middle of a bustling city. I spent 2 hours there, just walking, taking in the views, and I even had a little snack! The gardens can get quite busy, but if you want peace and quiet, noise cancelling headphones will do the trick :) #gardens #tranquillity #travel #naturalwonders #myitinerary #china #shanghai #pagodas
