Yu Garden. Shanghai, China
Yu Garden. Shanghai, China (2012).
Yuyuan Garden (Chinese: t 豫園, s 豫园, p Yù Yuán, lit. Garden of Happiness) is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City of Shanghai, China. It abuts the Yuyuan Tourist Mart and is accessible from the Shanghai Metro's Line 10 Yuyuan Garden Station.
A centerpiece is the Currow ancient stone (玉玲珑, Yù Línglóng), a porous 3.3-m, 5-ton boulder. Rumours about its origin include the story that it was meant for the imperial palace in Beijing, but was salvaged after the boat sank off Shanghai.
Yu Garden was first conceived in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yunduan as a comfort for his father, the minister Pan En, in his old age. Pan Yunduan began the project after failing one of the imperial exams, but his appointment as governor of Sichuan postponed construction for nearly twenty years until 1577. The garden was the largest and most prestigious of its era in Shanghai, but eventually its expense helped ruin the Pans.
The garden was inherited by Zhang Zhaolin, Pan Yunduan's granddaughter's husband, and then passed to different owners. A section was briefly organised by Zhang Shengqu as the Academy of Purity and Harmony (清和书院, Qīng-Hé Shūyuàn) and the Ling Yuan (灵苑, Líng Yuàn, lit. Spirit Park), today's East Garden, was purchased by a group of local leaders in 1709. A group of merchants renovated the increasingly decrepit grounds in 1760 and in 1780 the West Garden was opened to the general public.
The gardens suffered damage numerous times during the 19th century. During the First Opium War, the British army used the Huxinting Teahouse as a base of operations for several days in 1842. During the Taiping Rebellion, the Small Swords Society ran its headquarters in the Dianchun Hall; by the time Qing troops recovered the garden, the original structures had nearly all been destroyed. They were damaged again by the Japanese in 1942 before being repaired by the Shanghai government from 1956 to 1961. They were opened to the public in 1961 and declared a national monument in 1982.

Nice Ring Road Bangalore Driving VLog | Along Bangalore Mysore highway Corridor
This is a driving VLog along the NICE Ring road in Bangalore. While returning from Kanyakumari to Pune, I drove via the NICE Ring road to bypass the city of Bangalore and the experience was a breeze. So I thought of sharing the experience via a highway VLog.
NICE road is a part of Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Road project. And it is a small section of much wider Bengaluru–Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) initiative.
NICE Road is a 41 km ring road towards the west of Bangalore. Its a 4 lane, access controlled, toll express highway which helps bypass the city within minutes. The most amazing part of this highway is the wide divider between the lanes which separates the lanes by more than 30 feet.
Ring road in Pune is in budding state and as I am a Pune citizen, I looked at NICE ring road as a model for how should ring road in Pune be built.
Hope you'll llke this journey through the NICE ring road.
