5. Yuyuan Garden, China
It’s roots were planted by the Pan family, rich Ming Dynasty officials who ruled China in the 16th century, but today this ancient Asian wonder is popular with modern tourists who flock to the tranquil gardens to unplug and unwind.
Located in the Old City of Shanghai, the Yuyuan Garden features glittering pools, lush greenery sprouting from archaic rock, fragrant magnolia, weeping willows and vibrant cherry trees, making it the ultimate peaceful respite from the bustling city that surrounds it. Next to the garden entrance is the Húxīntíng Teahouse, one of the most famous teahouses in China.
