Yu Garden, a classical garden in the Jiangnan area, is built during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, and located in the northeastern part of Shanghai's Old City Hall, covering an area of more than 30 acres.

江南古典园林豫园始建于明代嘉靖、万历年间位于上海市老城厢的东北部占地三十余亩。


It is recorded that the Yu Garden was originally a private garden of Pan Yunduan, a minister of Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty. The name of Yu Garden is rich in best wishes. "Yu" has  blessings such as "peace", "tranquility" and so on.

豫园原是明代的四川布政使潘允端的一座私人园林。取名"豫园"是因为"豫"有"平安"、"安泰"等美好的意思。



Yu Ling Long, or Exquisite Jade Stone, is one of the most attractive landscapes, with the fame of one of the three most famous stones in the south of the Yangtze River. It enjoys a history as long as about one thousand years, being the limestone relic of the reign of Emperor Huizong in the Song Dynasty. As for the charming of the stone, it is admired for a long time because of its beauty of slender shape, mysterious water holes and wrinkles all over.

玉玲珑是豫园内最引人注目的景观之一,有江南三大名石之称。玉玲珑是宋徽宗时期的“艮岳遗石”,距今约有一千年历史。至于这块石头的魅力,它之所以受人久仰,是因为它具有“瘦、透、皱、漏”之美
