Description
Yuyuan is a 400 year old classical Chinese garden in the Old Town of Shanghai, not far from the Waterfront Bund. Pan Yunduan spent twenty years and all his savings building it to please his parents in their old age.
The Bund is a section of riverfront along the Huangpu river in Shanghai which until the early 1800's was undeveloped. In the early 1900's the Bund sprouted up with buildings designed by architects from Britain, France, China, America, Russia, Japan, and others including Jews from various countries.
The Shanghai Museum is an interesting place to spend some time to get a beter sense of what the city looked like in its glory days.
In 1882, the Buddhist Monk Hui Gen greeted two jade Buddhas from Myanmar and built the temple, hence, it's name Jade Buddha Temple. The sitting jade image is 1.9 meters tall and carved from a single piece of jade. The sleeping Buddha is 0.96 meters long. Numerous devotees make annual pilgrimages to the temple and foster its fame in China and around the world.
