Yu Garden is a protected cultural heritage site of Guangzhou City.

Yu Garden (also known as the "Young Ladies’ Building") is located on the east side of Yu Yin Shan Fang in North Street, Luobian Village, Nancun Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. The building was constructed in the 18th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1892). Facing south and backed by the north, it is a two-story classical garden-style residence. It was added 20 years after the completion of Yu Yin Shan Fang by Wu Zhongyu, the nephew of Wu Bin, and served as a dwelling for female family members. The total area is 2,073.26 square meters. The main entrance features grey brick walls, granite stone door jambs, wooden panel doors, and a stone plaque mounted at the top of the door lintel, inscribed with the two characters “Yu Garden” (瑜园) in intaglio regular script. It is also referred to as the “Young Ladies’ Building.” To the left of the main building is a small garden filled with flowers and fruit trees from all seasons, shaded by bamboo screens along the surrounding walls. Various structures within the Young Ladies’ Building are interconnected by covered walkways, highlighting the characteristics of Lingnan-style garden architecture. In August 1993, it was designated as a protected cultural heritage site of Guangzhou City.
