Shanghai -- Private Garden


We crossed that nine zigzag bridge to visit this private garden in the middle of the city. 

The girl sits on one side, the boy on the other.....
looking longingly at each other over the water. 

Inside the garden shrine
 

Beautiful fall colors
 

The walltop dragon was impressive!! 

Actually, all the architecture was impressive!
 
 
 
 
 
 

We were surprised at all the weeping willows.
Sunny told us the Chinese name for weeping willow means "don't go".... They would break off branches to give to soldiers heading to battle to say "don't go, come back". 
 

Rodney had bonsai tree envy seeing this one!!
Of course, I had to share a few Chenglish signs
 
 

Yep......
