Yu Yuan began as a private garden in the Ming dynasty created by Pan Yunduan, who spent almost 20 years (1559-1577)b – and all of his savings – to build a garden for his parents. “Yu” in Chinese means “peace and health”.

The garden is very impressive with ornate structures and elaborate landscaping depicting different scenes.
