What about Yu Yuen Gardens and the surrounding area? Don't forget to
take tea in the Tea house. Even our queen took tea there!
Go along the Bund, take a trip on the river. Do not take the "Tourist
Tunnel to Pu Dong, its a rip off go by the underground instead.
Go to Ren Min Gung Yuen, (peoples Park) In former days it was a horse
race course with signs "NO DOGS OR CHINESE"!!!!!!!!
