Yu Garden (豫园), Huangpu District — a 16th-century classical garden. Morning mist, zigzag bridges, the Nine-Turn Bridge. You narrate where you went.
Yu Garden was built in 1559 by a government official who wanted to bring his aging parents joy. The name 豫 means "peace and comfort." Four hundred years later, the garden still delivers. Rockeries rise like frozen waves. Corridors twist around dragon walls.
She 去了豫园 early, before the tourist crowds. At the Nine-Turn Bridge, she paused. 「我走了九曲桥。」 I walked the Nine-Turn Bridge. According to legend, evil spirits can only travel in straight lines — so the zigzag bridge keeps them at bay.
After the garden, she 去了南翔馒头店, the famous dumpling shop nearby. 「我到了餐厅，点了蟹粉小笼包。」 I arrived at the restaurant, ordered crab xiaolongbao. Then she 回了酒店. The morning had been full. 「我去了三个地方。」 I went to three places. Completed, each one.
