Yu Garden is an important traditional tourist resort in Shanghai, which enjoys the reputation of “the crown of beauty in southeast China”.  Most exquisitely decked out, the garden offers charming and pleasant views.  With noble flora and exotic rocks setting off each other, it serves as a perfect model of “famous garden of Jiangnan”.  Inside the garden there is the site of the famous uprising of Shanghai’s Small Sword Society in Qing Dynasty.  On the 440 anniversary of the establishment of Yu Garden, comrade Jiang Zemin brandished his writing brush and left the inscription of “Famous Garden above the Sea”.  The famous scenic spots of the garden include the Wall of Cloud Piercing Dragon, Spring Transforming Hall, Yu Linglong (Jade Exquisite), Moon Appreciating Pavilion, Ancient Performance Stage and Grand Rockery.  

Jade Buddha Temple, an old temple, was built to keep two jade Buddha statues which had been brought from Burma by a monk named Huigen.  The temple was destroyed during the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty.  Fortunately the Jade Buddha statues were saved and a new temple was built on the present site in 1928.

Nanjing Road, the earliest and most prosperous shopping street in Shanghai dating back to the 1840s.  Regarded as "the first business street in China", Nanjing Road offers all-in-one shopping malls, gorgeous restaurants and spectacular night views to attract thousands upon thousands visit from home and abroad.

As a landmark of Shanghai, the Bund is a must see sight for visitors who come to Shanghai.  It locates at the bank of Huangpu River in the Shanghai center. In 1840, Shanghai became the leased territory of foreign countries.  From then on, the Bund has become the center of external trade.  Many banks and department stores were built here.  So the Bund becomes the finance street of Shanghai.  And the Bund is also called the Oriental Wall Street.
