Dragon in the Garden
The Yuyuan gardens are extremely beautiful and well-kept. They were originally a private collection, later made a national attraction in the 1980s. One of the things you will see in the Garden is this beautifully made dragon. I had my friend Simon take a picture of it on his Digital SLR because I knew my camera would never be able to capture the beauty of it in the same way. The result is this high resolution image of a dragon bearing it’s teeth.
I even feel like the image doesn’t capture the full picture I wanted, so you’re better off going to Shanghai to see it for yourself! The Yuyuan Gardens are located south of the Bund and east of the French quarter in an area called the Old Town. It costs 40rmb to get in, but totally worth what you can see inside!
