About this guide

YuGarden.org is an independent English guide to Yu Garden (Yuyuan) in the old city of Shanghai and the tours that visit it. We are not the Yu Garden Administration, the Yuyuan bazaar, a tour operator or Viator, and we do not sell garden tickets. For official visitor information, see the garden's own site, yugarden.com.cn.

Facts here are checked against the garden's official visitor page, Shanghai government notices, the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews) and other published sources. Ticket prices, opening hours, visa rules and tour itineraries change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when a tour only visits the free bazaar and not the garden. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
