You visited the Yu Gardens during the daytime. It closes a 4:30 so you decide to leave the area right? WRONG!!! If you don't plan to hang around or at least come back to this area when the sun starts going down you are missing out on so e beautiful sites. The lit up buildings are gorgeous at night and can't be missed. So after getting out of the Yu Gardens, maybe plan to stick around for dinner, do some shopping close by and come back for pictures at night. You can see the difference a few hours makes in the photos.
Yuyuan Garden is one of the best spot in Shanghai it’s free and you could enjoy the city roaming around.

上海城隍庙位于上海最繁华最出名的老街,有上千年的历史,平时说去城隍庙等于说去上海老街逛一逛。当然上海老街还有豫园,豫园不大,进去要买票,大概几十年都没有进去了,城隍庙老街还是经常去。
Excellent experience
