　　Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Did you sleep last night? Great. I'm sorry, the baggage was delayed last night. As the baggage car broke down, we had to ask for another one. By the way, have you opened your luggage? No wonder it's sunny outside. Our tour guide often said, "the guests brought the sunshine in the bag.". I thank you for that. Good well. I have announced the schedule for breakfast. Today we will go to the old city of the sea, that is, the location of the Yu Garden and the Yu Garden mall.

　　Our car is driving in the Bund. Your left is the famous Huangpu river. We'll be here later.

　　In order to save time, I would like to talk about Chinese gardens and Yu Garden before I get to Yu Garden.

　　In China, gardens are divided into three major categories: Royal Gardens, private gardens and temple gardens. Yu Garden belongs to private gardens. Chinese gardens have many skills, such as borrowing scenery, blocking scenery and so on. But they are all made up of four basic factors. These four factors are water, plants, buildings and rockery. Most of the private gardens are in the south of the Yangtze River, just because there are many water sources and stones suitable for making rockery. Yu Garden is the Ming dynasty built more than 400 years ago. The owner surnamed pan, is a senior official. He built this garden to please his parents and make them enjoy their old age. Therefore, the word "Yu" of Yu Garden takes its meaning of "Yue Yue". It's a pity that his parents could see Yu Garden fall and die. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the pan family was weak and its descendants sold the garden to the local guild. There is another reason why Yu Garden is famous. In 1853, a sword Club uprising broke out in Shanghai, and a hall was used as the headquarters. Today, Yu Garden is a must go place. So I suggest that there we must not become separated, the best you closely, okay?

　　Here is the parking lot. If someone here, please remember the bus number three last number is 121. I think it's best not to happen. I will be holding a small red flag, all of you will accompany Mr. Zhang dianhou. Are you ready yet? Let's hit the road. Please pay attention to your bike when you get off.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, this is the famous jiuquqiao. Why is nine? Because it is the highest number of yang. Walk on the bridge and stay long. You can also enjoy the scenery from different angles. Also, it is said that ghosts can only walk in a straight line, so you don't have to worry about ghosts.

　　In the middle of the bridge, there is a pavilion, built in the Qing Dynasty, about 80 years ago, was converted into a teahouse. The old people like to come here in the morning, meet friends, make a pot of tea and chat. Generally they drink a green tea called Longjing. This teahouse is also the place where foreign leaders often come. For example, in 1986, Queen Elizabeth II of England came to Shanghai, also went to the teahouse to drink tea.

　　Indeed, it is also a pleasure to have a pot here. Imagine, on a summer day, when you come to the teahouse and sit by the window, overlooking the green pond full of lotus flowers. A cool breeze blew in the face. In the elegant Jiangnan Silk sound, you lift the teapot, slowly sipping lukewarm Longjing green tea. If you feel floating losses.

　　Would you like to have a pot? Sorry, I still can't let you go. Will it be OK for us to make a decision after we finish Yu Garden?

　　This is the entrance to the Yu Garden. When you walk into a private garden, the sight of what things are always blocked, sometimes is a rockery, sometimes this Su zhaobi. This is a garden skill, called "barrier landscape". Don't let you know one day, but let you see a part, and then achieve the effect of moving scenery.

　　This hall is called mount Du hall. As you all know, Shanghai is located in an alluvial plain, with no mountains or forests. So this mountain refers to the rockery opposite. It is 12 meters tall and weighs 80 tons. It has been a miracle in the past and even today. Because more than 400 years ago, no cement and plaster, people use cooked glutinous rice, add alum and lime, the stones together. So far safe. See the pavilion on the top of the mountain? Four hundred years ago, it was the highest point in Shanghai. From there you can see the Huangpu River on the fishing boat, sails, but these can only see in movies today. You can only see the top of their heads up. For the winding paths are covered with trees and stones. This is really the masterpiece of Zhang Nanyang, a gardener. It is also recognized as the best local rockery.

　　After the rockery, there is a dragon wall. This is a characteristic of this garden. There are five dragon walls in all. This way, I'm going to take you to a place where you can see another dragon wall clearly.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dragon wall I just mentioned. Dragons are actually imaginary animals. We call ourselves the descendants of the dragon. I wonder if you have read Pearl Buck's Dragon seed. If you've seen it, a lot of things are familiar to you here. Look at the dragon. You'll see it's a complex of many kinds of animals. You see, it looks like cattle, eyes like shrimp, horns, I do not look like cattle. We usually say a deer, a snake, a scaly fish, a claw like chicken or an eagle. Please tell me, how many toes do you see?. Three pairs. But the dragon should have five toes. Why three? There's a story. Previously, only emperors and royals were equipped with dragon designs. Pan Yunduan, the gardener, used the dragon as a wall. He was ambitious. Somehow, when the emperor learned of the matter, he sent for an investigation. When Pan Yunduan heard of it, he immediately knocked two toes. The delay officers arrived, master said: look, this is not long, only three. It is a wise man, otherwise he would be killed.

　　You said you wanted to take a picture. I think it's the best place for the dragon wall. Let me shoot for you. Don't forget to say "Cheese".

　　Here I
