Yùyuán revived memories


 
Yu Garden ( 豫園 / Yùyuán ), located at No. 132. Anren Street in the center of the Old City next to the Chenghuangmiao area in Shanghai, China, is considered one of the most lavish and finest Chinese gardens in the region of Shanghai.


I was favoured by fortune to visit this gem of Chinese garden architecture during my trip to China in September this year.


The Kois - ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp - were really beautifully coloured and trustingly - and they were really eager to be fed.


Fortunately it was a Monday I was able to visit Yu garden. On a Saturday or a Sunday I wouldn't have been able to take some photos of the beautiful ancient houses without any tourists in front of them.


But it still took approx. 10 minutes to capture this scene without any guys in front of it.

So it's much easier to target at the roofs with your lens...


...or you try to take an image of an hidden Chinese beauty... ;-.))
