Shanghai Yuyuan Mall is a re-planned shopping mall that gathers all kinds of shops, including old restaurants, department stores, old temples, street performances and ancient buildings. The snack shops can satisfy the taste buds of tourists, and the environment is clean and comfortable. There is nothing wrong with pushing a stroller inside. There will be lights to make the scenery at night, and you can choose to come and watch it in the evening.
How to get to Shanghai Yuyuan Mall
We will check-in at the Wanda Reign Hotel Shanghai on this day's trip. The Bund attractions and the surrounding areas are mainly within walking distance. It is quite comfortable to walk all the way on a sunny day in winter. If you take public transportation, you can go to Yuyuan Garden on Metro Line 10. It’s also very convenient to get off the station and walk there, or make good use of the Didi taxi service, which makes it easier for elders and children to travel together.

The origin of Shanghai Yu Garden
The predecessor of this Yu Garden was built by Pan Yunduan, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty. Because Yu Qin designed 70 acres of land as a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, it became the crown of the southeast famous garden.After the family decline and war in the Qing Dynasty, the garden began to be restored one by one in the 60s. If you want to visit the park, you need to purchase additional tickets. However, 24 of the scenes are exquisite and chronological, and they are worth entering!
Yu Garden transformed into a shopping mall
The periphery of Yuyuan Garden was condensed with large and small shops. Yuyuan Mall was originally only for integrated management, and then it was transformed into a department store and integrated into an enterprise system. It seems to outsiders that it is actually a super-large commercial district with various ancient city buildings and Yu Garden. On the main body, various small shops under Chinese culture, etc., lights are lit up at night, and even the annual Lantern Festival "Yuyuan Lantern Festival" is also a major event.
What are the recommended snack shops in Yuyuan Mall?
We arrived at Yuyuan Mall in the evening. There was a lot of people shopping and there were many food choices, but there were also a lot of people lined up in popular stores. If you want to eat popular food, you have to spend a lot of time in line. Xiaolongbao and Tangyuan are delicious, but they are quite famous. The crab roe fills the soup bag, the soup is quite salty and the skin is dry and hard, not very suitable for Wendy's taste.

✅Comprehensive evaluation: The concentrated essence of ancient Chinese towns
While eating hot glutinous rice balls, Chinese aunts and uncles enthusiastically asked "Where do they come from?" When they heard that it was from "Taiwan", they became more enthusiastic and enthusiastic, not only sharing where they had been to Taiwan on a tour group. For fun, I like Taiwanese snacks and delicacies the most, and I also reported to us which delicacies in Shanghai are worth eating. This is a "communication" between the two sides under the tense national conditions. It has nothing to do with politics but tourism.
