Yu Garden
豫园
A Ming-dynasty classical garden inside a busy tourist bazaar.
Should I go? It’s fine
The garden itself is lovely but small; the surrounding bazaar is a tourist mall. Arrive at 9am opening, skip the bazaar snacks and eat soup dumplings somewhere else.
Better: For a calmer classical garden, locals take the 25-minute train to Suzhou.
