Tour the gardens with beautiful koi ponds, the street market & Shanghai old antique market. The Yuyuan Garden was originally the Ginshan Sheng Miao (Temple of the Golden Mountain God), but was renamed as Cheng Huang Miao (Temple of the City’s Gods) in the Ming Dynasty. Since then, the temple had foregone several severe damages, and had each time it was properly restored to its beautiful former self. During the latter years of the Qing dynasty, teahouses, street performers, and hawkers formed an extremely lively marketplace in front of the temple. During the Cultural Revolution, the temple was thoroughly destroyed. The surrounding marketplace was given a new name, “Yuyuan Bazaar”. The temple was again restored and opened to the public in 1981.
