Bund (means muddy waterfront) was the old financial centre since 1920’s… The building that was Seamen’s club built in 1860, is now the Waldorf hotel (lotus flower on the top).

We take a walk through Yu Garden

It was designed and built in 1550’s by a military officer. The dragon is a symbol of emperor…. There are lots of dragons which raised the hackles of the emperor at the time but nonsense story by the officer made it all right. It was built during Ming dynasty 

Water (lots here in the garden) are symbols of Yin…. is soft and female. Yang… rock (lots here too)is hard and male
