(Part 3) Celebrating Lunar New Year in Shanghai 上海春节

This is part 3 of the Series "Celebrating Lunar New Year in Shanghai 上海春节"

Today is first day of Lunar New Year (19 Feb 2015), and it is by far the finest day during the 12 days vacation in Shanghai.

With such a great weather, we decided to visit one of the best gardens in Shanghai, The Guyi Garden.
Guyi Garden (Chinese: 古猗园) is a classical Chinese garden in the town of Nanxiang in the suburban Jiading District of Shanghai, China. The garden is located about 21 kilometres (13 mi) from the city centre. Designed in the typical style of a Jiangnan classical garden, Guyi Garden is regarded as one of the five most important classical gardens of Shanghai. The garden was originally owned by magistrate Min Shiji during the Jiajing era (1522–1566) of the Ming dynasty. After passing through various private hands, it was extensively re-modelled in 1746, during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. In 1789, the local gentry pooled funds and purchased the garden to serve as the spiritual home of the patron deity of the prefecture, associated with the local City God Temple. The garden then become communal property, and saw the addition of various pavilions and shrines, as well as the opening of shops, taverns and restaurants.
