Shanghai City God Temple(Chenghuang Temple, Shanghai City God Temple Tourist Area)

It was a very interesting trip. I had been to Yu Garden before, but with the guided tour, I gained a deeper understanding of it and learned about the architecture of Jiangnan gardens. My son also had a direct experience of the relevant history.

It was a very interesting trip. I had been to Yu Garden before, but without a guide, so I didn't have such a deep understanding of it as I did today. The gardens in Jiangnan are beautiful, and my son also gained a more intuitive understanding of history.

The City God Temple is located in the heart of the Yu Garden commercial district, and entering from the Nine-Turn Bridge area is generally the most atmospheric. Inside, you can visit the main hall, the God of Wealth Hall, and the Matchmaker Hall in sequence. The incense is plentiful, but the order is well-maintained. You can freely stroll around and admire the architectural details; the wood carvings and painted beams are quite exquisite. The process for making a wish is simple, and incense burners can be purchased outside the halls. After visiting the main hall area, it's easy to explore the surrounding old streets, which are packed with snacks. Classic local delicacies include Nanxiang steamed buns, crab roe soup dumplings, and pear syrup candy. It gets very crowded on holidays, so it's recommended to arrive early. For more authentic Jiangnan-style photos, early morning or evening when the lights are on are ideal. Yu Garden is within walking distance, so combining the two will provide a more complete experience. The overall pace is relaxed; two hours is sufficient to experience the lively atmosphere and old-world charm of the City God Temple.

Shanghai's iconic tourist attraction, the annual Yu Garden Lantern Festival is back again. There are many visitors. It is crowded with people after the lights are turned on at night, and there are fewer people during the day. You can walk on the Nine-Curve Bridge, look at the lanterns, and taste snacks. There are Ming and Qing gardens in the scenic area - Yu Garden, and the Old City God Temple Taoist Temple for you to visit.

When I first arrived in Shanghai, my first stop was the Old Town God Temple Yu Garden. The night tour is the most beautiful in the evening. The lights here are bright and there are many tourists. You must try the famous old Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop, which was on CCTV's food program. Although there was a queue, there was a seat soon. The steamed dumplings and crab roe soup dumplings are really delicious when you take a bite. There are also various dishes. It is adjacent to Metro Line 14, with convenient transportation, especially a popular check-in spot for young people to take photos. Time is in a hurry this time, so I will take a slow walk and taste it carefully if I have the chance.
