Yu Garden restaurant gets modern makeover

Lubolang, a famed Chinese restaurant in Shanghai's Yu Garden, recently revamped its interiors and menu in a bid to attract young customers.

"Having worked here since 1993, I have witnessed several renovations, but this one made the biggest change to the restaurant," says Wang Shijia, deputy general manager of Lubolang.

The restaurant now bears a stark contrast to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) building that houses it. Its new minimalist design, which features the use of emerald green for large screens and peacock blue for chairs, lends the space an air of elegance and modernity.
