Yuyuan Gardens, Shanghai ... Sep 24, 2011

We returned with the kids to Yuyuan Gardens and the City God Temple.  Originally conceived in the 16th century, what we see today was re-opened in 1961 and is really a post World War II reconstruction after significant damage was done by the Japanese (this is after damage from the First Opium War in the mid 1800's and the Taiping Rebellion a few years later).
