Guyi Garden — Attraction in Shanghai

Unbelievably beautiful garden with amazing buildings. I spent one whole day in this garden and I can say it was not even enough to see the whole area completely. The first thing I recommend is to carry enough food and water with you because you will spend a whole day and you have to walk for hours. so you will need to refill your energy. I hardly can describe its beauty and the peace you feel there. I took hundreds of pictures. And I saw young girls with traditional costumes taking pictures there. Trees flower buildings the sound of the wind birds bridges river everything was just wow. I really say it was a true heaven on the earth! If one day I go to Shanghai again for 100% I will visit this garden again. The interesting thing is that I accidentally found this place. You do not need to buy a ticket in advance and you do not need to wait to enter the garden. Just go and enjoy this...

One of my favourite gardens of Shanghai. It's a little bit further from the city centre, but it's definitely worth a visit. Line 11 will take you towards Nanxiang Station, from there it's a 15 minute walk to the entrance. Admission ticket is CNY 12. Guyi Garden is very big, there's no dedicated path as far as I'm aware. But all the sections are numbered, so if you follow these numbers in order I guess there's some kind of path. You can easily spend around two hours here, there's a nice variety of buildings, pagodas, ponds, trees and bamboo, and some cats...

Gorgeous gardens which I stumbled across by accident, as I took a wrong turn to get to the old street. Lovely ponds, pavilions, and old bridges.

I went on a Saturday morning, and it was absolutely full of old Chinese folk playing games, dancing, and chatting. Quite an atmosphere!

Worth going here before the old street, and then have some of the area's most famous dish, Xiao Long Bao, on nearby GuYi street, which is full of restaurants that will be cheaper than most...
