Yuyuan Garden, a cultural beacon of Shanghai, is the largest, oldest and best-preserved traditional Chinese-style garden in this metropolis of east China. Yuyuan Garden in Hamburg, a mimic of that in Shanghai, also features typical Chinese style pavilions and zigzag bridges above the ponds, and has been serving as a window to display traditional Chinese culture since it opened to the public in 2008. Yuyuan Garden is obviously not the only thing that the two cities have in common. Shanghai and Hamburg are the biggest harbor city in their own countries, respectively. Currently there are 15 shipping routes linking the Port of Hamburg and major ports in China. About one-third of freighters at the Port of Hamburg are bound for China or originate there. The "Shanghai Express," the first cross-border railway service between Shanghai and Europe, has also been facilitating econom
