At the heart of Shanghai lies the Yuyuan Garden, a Ming Dynasty retreat once designed as a private haven of serenity. Step outside those walls, however, and history unravels into a different kind of spectacle. The Yuyuan Market, which grew around the garden over centuries, has transformed into a bustling maze of lantern-lit alleys, intricate eaves, and endless shops. Here, tourists and locals alike weave through a stage where tradition and consumerism meet in dazzling contrast.
