Iconic tourist hotspot given an injection of youth

China Daily  

A summer festival including pop-up markets and cultural performances has imbued Shanghai's historical Yu Garden with a modern twist. Colorful carts selling food and souvenirs have popped up in the main shopping area and young adults who have embraced the hanfu trend-wearing traditional Han clothing from centuries ago-can be seen roaming around the premises. Despite its name, Yu Garden comprises not only a garden but also the neighboring City God Temple and a 20,000-square-meter shopping complex that used to be a bazaar during the Qing Dynasty. The garden segment was originally built by the Ming Dynasty government official Pan Yunduan, who had meant for the space to be an idyllic abode for his father to enjoy his twilight years.
