| Breakfast
|
|
A plain (non-salty), thin sesame roll. I liked how it was a tad sweet.
I also ate some fruit.
|
|
| Old Town
|

|
|
| A building in Old Town.
| Anren Street.
| Some of the shops surrounding Yuyuan Garden.

| Yuyuan Garden

|
| Ceremonial arch near the entrance to the garden.
| A sculpture atop the arch.
| A panorama of the plaza and pavilion outside the entrance to Yuyuan
Garden.
| Map of Yuyuan Garden.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In Yuyuan Garden. Quite distinctive rocks in this rockery. Also notice
the houses that overlook the garden.
| Koi, I suppose.
| Di Yin.
| More traditional buildings and rockeries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A path through bamboo.
| A lovely path along the lake, artistic rocks, and a school of koi.
Taken from near the Nine Lion Waterside Pavilion.
| Ibid, taken vertically so show the height of the trees.
| Excellent. The view over the lake toward a bridge and tower
("pavilion"). (Sorry, I can't read the name of the pavilion on the
map.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
| More colorful trees and a rock sculpture.
| Di Yin by the Nine Lion Waterside Pavilion.
| Close-up.
| Excellent. Taken at my camera's highest resolution because I
thought I may want to print this photograph (and I do!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ibid, another high-resolution photograph of the same scene, just with
fewer people. It might also be excellent?
| Ibid, but with a higher-zoom to focus more attention on the bridge and
portal.
| Closer to the portal, with the Yuhua Hall at left.
| A path to one of the largest buildings in the garden. I like the
bridge's design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yuhua Hall perhaps?
| The Pavilion of Listening to Billows. Maybe not excellent, but a good
shot nonetheless.
| The Jade Water Corridor.
| The Jade Water Corridor toward the Tower of Containing Watery Jade. I
like that there are statues on top of the roof.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A close-up of the roof's statues.
| Looking straight down the Jade Water Corridor.
| Many koi.
| More towers, more rocks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| An excellent picture of little sculpture on a roof.
| These chairs reminded me of modernista chairs designed by Gaudi in
Barcelona.
| A dragon silhouette.
| After a brief image showing the mid-lake pavilion (just outside the
entrance to the garden), this movie focuses on watching the koi being
fed. 18 seconds into the movie is another glimpse of the area outside
the garden's entrance. I'm sorry I didn't take a proper panoramic movie
of this area.
