Yu Garden or Yuyuen "Happy Garden" is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in Shanghai. Yu Garden was first conceived in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yunduan as a comfort for his father minister Pan En, in his old age. The garden was the largest of its era but eventually its expense helped ruin the Pan family. The garden was opened to the public in 1961 and then declared a national monument in 1982.
