The Verdant Bamboo Garden - one of the top five classical gardens in Shanghai

The Gucheng Garden, established during the Jiajing reign of the Ming dynasty, takes its name from the phrase 'verdant bamboo' in the Book of Songs, and is one of the top five classical gardens in Shanghai. The garden is divided into four scenic areas: Yi Garden, Fragrant Fairyland, Qu Creek Crane Shadow, and Secluded Reed Moonlight, featuring verdant bamboo, Ming and Qing architecture, tranquil winding streams, flower-stone paths, and couplets of poetry. The Duck and Drake Lake, surrounded by red maples and azaleas, and the Missing Corner Pavilion is one of the must-visit spots. Ticket price: 12 yuan, full of Chinese aesthetics, great value for money!!
