In their own words: “All right, guys, we're here at the Yu Garden, and around here you're going to see walking streets, temples. You've also got good vibes, cafes, restaurants. Let's show you around. It's a little bit rainy today. Now, they call it a garden, but it's a lot more than a garden. They've got also an outdoor mall and old street. There's a lot to see and do down here. It was originally designed as a private retreat for government officials. It's about 400-plus years old. It's an old classic Chinese garden here.”
