Old Town is also internationally known for one of the most lavish and finest Chinese gardens in the region. Yu Gardens was first established in 1559 by Pan Yunduan as a private residence for his aging parents. Over the last 450 years, the gardens have been restored and modified to what you see today. Stretching out over five acres the Gardens contain six general areas featuring peaks, cliffs, winding caves, ponds, a lotus pool, stunning pavilions and grand pagodas.
