14、ly why it is so (33) and captivating. Many modern cities are trying to respect the (34) boundary between “old“ and “new.“ For example, they construct skyscrapers that are designed to (35) to the existing look and feel of the existing city. There is definitely value to this (36) , it is a very diffic
15、ult thing to do successfully. I think Shanghai deserves a lot of respect for deciding to forge ahead into the future. Shanghai has still managed to retain much of its old city, however. There is a river that winds through the city, and it effectively divides the “old“ from the “new.“ The citys (37)

Its easy to assume that modern architecture is all about being the biggest, tallest, most expensive, most innovative, or some other superlative. Sometimes, it
19、 seems as if modern architects have forgotten the roots of groundbreaking architecture and design. Of the relatively few countries noted for their long and productive history of classical architecture, China is one of even fewer that have embraced this history. Most people familiar with the city of
20、Suzhou are also aware of its epithet: “Heaven on Earth.“ Yet anyone who has visited its famous gardens is all too aware that the beauty is often marred by mobs of parading tour groups. Surprisingly, its a well kept secret that our very own Shanghai is actually home to five classical gardens (planned
21、 and built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties), many of which equal the splendor on display in Suzhou. Spread out over the vastness of the city, visits to the five gardens not only provide a tempting taste of Suzhou close to home but also reveal the varied faces and personalities Shanghai itself has
22、 to offer. Nearly every tourist to Shanghai follows their guidebook to Yu Yuan and braves the surrounding onslaught of postcard and antique vendors. It is, without a doubt, the most well-known, easily accessible and expensive of the citys classically designed gardens. For this reason, it is also the
23、 most impressive. Built in 1559 by wealthy Ming officials, the garden today stands as testament to the poetic extravagance of Chinas dynastic heritage. Lakeside pagodas, enchanting halls, and a mazelike rockery all inhabit this welcome oasis in the heart of modern Shanghai, and it becomes a perfect
24、place to relax and feel the speed of life slow to a crawl. Winning points for its overwhelming feeling of peace, seclusion, and serenity is the Pond of the Drunken Bai. Designed and constructed during the Ming era in honor of Tang poet Bai Juyi, the garden harbors the many splendors of both Suzhou and Yu Yuan without the crowds. Odds are youll be sharing
