Description

Meet your guide at the Yu Garden North Gate and begin your exploration of this classical garden. Spend about an hour admiring the rockeries, Nine-Turn Bridge, Lotus Pavilion, and symbolic design elements like the Dragon Wall, Treasure Vase Gate, and window-framed views. Next, visit the City God Temple Bazaar, where you can soak in the bustling atmosphere and perhaps pick up a souvenir or two. Then, transfer to the Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial and Jinyuan Plaza. Discover the heroic defense of the “800 Soldiers” during the 1937 Battle of Shanghai. See bullet-scarred walls, battlefield photographs, farewell letters, and international press coverage that shaped global opinion. Pay tribute at the bullet-riddled walls, hear the story of Commander Xie Jinyuan and 400+ soldiers writing 298 last letters, and understand how international media shaped wartime memory.
