Yuyuan Gardens in the old town of Shanghai is a really lovely place to spend an afternoon…
Aside from the tourists it is quite serene and best of all no smoking allowed- and they actually mean it. I can’t tell you how funny (read: ridiculous) it is to me that in March a ban on smoking in public buildings was enacted and NO ONE complies.
There is a lot of spitting going on around here and although I originally thought it was the pollution, I am convinced it is because all the men smoke like houses on fire.
