YUYUAN GARDEN- SHANGHAI
`
Infront of the YuYuan garden nine curve bridge, tourists require to buy entry tickets to cross the bridge to see the mid lake pavilion.However I sad to say package tours never allow or even let you know about this which locate in another area of Yuyuan and can reach by a diferent path. I only visited once only all other trip totally by pass. The last trip with my family in 1996 the travel agencytreated us like stupid tourists cheating our group of 75 like .... We were taken to the Town God temple shopping mart and food court for our lunch and then free activities. Only when I question why Yuyuan garden stated incldued but we are not taken, then only the tour guide took us there but just to see the outside only. If wanted too see inside buy own ticket but it was too late due to, it was already 5 pm when we return to the aseembly point. The time require to see all the pavilion inside take 3-4 hours.

Our group tour cover Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing 9 days, throught out the tour we are being short change left to right bottom to top disregard my strong protest and the tour member. After the 2 tour guide know my travel background etc they came to see personally and explain they tender for this group of 75 tourists in simple Cantonese language 'MAI CHU ZEE" tour mean Selling Piglet tour. What we missed in YuYUAN inside Grand Rockery, Dragon Wall, Hall of Jade, Huijing Tower and ninecurve bridge and mid lake pavilion. I doubt any one who had join a tour to visit Shnaghai have seem all this? let me know including your parents, relatives or friends.
