Yu Garden or Yuyuan Garden (traditional Chinese: 豫園; simplified Chinese: 豫园; pinyin: Yù Yuán, Shanghainese Yuyoe Wu Chinese pronunciation: [ɦy²².ɦɥø⁵⁵], lit. Garden of Happiness[3]) is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City of Shanghai at Huangpu District, Shanghai. It abuts the Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Huxinting Teahouse and the Yu Garden Bazaar.

This garden is accessible from the Shanghai Metro’s Line 10 and Line 14 Yuyuan Garden station.

Boasting over 40 scenic spots, including pavilions, rock formations, and ponds, it is now a key site under state-level protection.

A centerpiece is the Exquisite Jade Rock (玉玲珑) a porous 3.3-m, 5-ton boulder. Rumours about its origin include the story that it was meant for the Huizong Emperor (Northern Song Dynasty from 1100 to 1126 AD) the imperial garden in Bianjing, but was salvaged from the Huangpu River after the boat carrying it had sunk.

Wukang Road is a street in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China, running roughly from north to south. It starts from Huashan Road in the north and ends at Huaihai Middle Road in the south, where it meets Tianping Road and Yuqing Road. The road is 1183 meters long and varies in width from 12 to 16 meters. Lined with garden houses and historical apartments built during the Republic of China era, Wukang Road is one of the 64 streets in Shanghai that are never to be widened and was named a Famous Historical and Cultural Street in China in June 2011.

Originally named Ferguson Road (Route Ferguson), in 1907, the Shanghai French Concession Board widened a dirt road opened by the American Methodist missionary John Calvin Ferguson, who was the principal of Nanyang Public School, and paved it with cinders, officially naming it “Ferguson Road.” In 1914, after the Shanghai French Concession expanded westward, Ferguson Road was divided into three sections: the east section was renamed as Couper Route, the south section as Bishop Yao Road, and the middle section remained Ferguson Road. In 1943, when the Wang Jingwei government took over the concession, Couper Route, Bishop Yao Road, and Ferguson Road were renamed Anfu Road, Tianping Road, and Wukang Road, respectively. The name Wukang Road comes from Wukang County in Zhejiang Province (now merged into Deqing County).

Wukang Road intersects with several other roads (mostly east-west), including Huashan Road, Anfu Road, Wuyuan Road, West Fuxing Road, Hunan Road, Tai’an Road, and Huaihai Middle Road.

In December 2013, Xuhui District piloted a “Fallen Leaf Scenic Road” on Wukang Road, which means that the fallen leaves from the French plane trees along the road are intentionally not swept away. The “Wukang Road – Anfu Road” neighborhood was awarded the title of Shanghai Municipal Tourism and Leisure Block in September 2021.
