It was first built in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty; a span of 18 years was expended for the construction of such an elegant garden. Yu is a Chinese term with the meaning of being peaceful and safe. The garden was said to have been built by an official named Pan Yunduan, who intended to show his blessings and filial piety to his parents. Later on, as the decay of Pan’s family and the influence of the war, Yu Garden underwent the great devastation. The renovation in 1956 made it the present outlook.
