Yuyuan Garden

On Sunday we finally managed to check out a tourist site. We met my co-worker Karen at Yu Yuan Garden.












We had lunch at a sushi place. It was really cute. All the different sushi rolls came by on a conveyer belt. The food was pretty good. I had some egg and veggie rolls. We found out the place is a chain and there is another one in the shopping mall ten minutes from our place.











Afterwards, we looked around the garden, which was at some point a gift to some government official. The area surrounding it had a bunch of extremely touristy shops.





























It was one of the few places in Shanghai I've seen so far that I thought was actually pretty. It had the traditional Chinese architecture and real bamboo growing. If only all of Shanghai was that pretty.
