The Shanghai Botanical Garden has 17 gardens, including a bonsai garden, a peony garden, and an osmanthus garden. It is a favorite outdoor photo spot for photography enthusiasts.
The bonsai garden is one of the largest in the world, and the cherry blossom area in the rose garden is the most concentrated area for cherry blossom planting in Shanghai.
The "Cold Orchid Exhibition" is held here every winter, where you can see nearly 200 kinds of orchids, which are very beautiful.
Spring is the peak season for flower viewing, especially from March to May when cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and tulips are in full bloom.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden has introduced artificially bred seedlings of Magnolia baohuaensis, a species endemic to China with a relatively small population. It is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN and is currently listed as a national Class I protected plant.

As someone who lived across from Gate 3 of the Shanghai Botanical Garden for two years, I highly recommend it. Tickets are 15 yuan, and I spent over 100 yuan on an annual pass, which makes it convenient for daily long-distance runs.
The botanical garden's scenery changes with each season. Its expansive grounds feature Chinese-style bamboo forests, streams, corridors, and pavilions; it also boasts a French-style rose garden and a winding river, perfect for kayaking. It's a popular spot for leisure and recreation. Various plants are labeled with Latin names, making it a great place for children to learn about science.
The pink muhly grass in Shanghai Botanical Garden was trampled badly by bad tourists, so I didn't go in. I just took two photos from the outside and admired the pink muhly grass up close. It was really beautiful, a whole piece of girlish healing hairs, it was so beautiful. In addition to the pink muhly grass, this area also has large areas of lavender and various flowers and plants that are rarely seen in normal times. The air is fresh and the fallen leaves at this time of year are also beautiful. It is a four-star recommendation and is perfect for taking children out and taking pictures.
The botanical garden is preparing for a flower show, and some areas are under construction. The cherry blossoms 🌸 haven't bloomed much, and the tulips 🌷 haven't bloomed very well either. The bamboo forest is quite suitable for taking pictures, maybe it will be better in a few days!
Today's visit was okay, but the things in the greenhouse area 2 are not yet fully loaded, and the park is still being decorated. It would be best to visit in early April.
Friday, March 8th, Women's Day, half-price tickets.
🌸The cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet, and the trees on both sides of the road are bare. The cherry blossoms next to the tropical plant area are blooming, but there are only one or two trees.
Combination tickets are better because the bonsai garden and tropical plant area are both beautiful.
Come back after a while, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
A world of plants, a sea of flowers, a green world.
2017 Shanghai International Flower Show
Photo taken on April 27, 2017
The park is divided into four exhibition areas: plant evolution, environmental protection, artificial ecology, greening demonstration, and the Huang Dao Po Temple tourist area.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden, spanning 81 hectares, officially opened to the public in April 1978. It features more than a dozen specialized gardens, including a bonsai garden, a peony garden, a rose garden, and a bamboo garden. The bonsai garden, covering 3.3 hectares, showcases thousands of exquisite bonsai, exemplified by the Shanghai style, making it one of the largest national bonsai gardens in China. The newly renovated orchid room, embodying the theme of residential garden architecture, spans 1.11 hectares. Flowing bridges, white walls and grey tiles, rockery, ponds, streams, waterfalls, and small bridges create an elegant and unique environment, offering visitors a pleasant place to relax. The orchid room houses a large collection of 300 varieties of orchids, donated by the renowned patriotic general Zhang Xueliang and Japanese friends. The renovated and expanded orchid room is divided into three areas: a bonsai display area, a natural display area, and a courtyard display area. It also features an orchid greenhouse, creating a pristine orchid habitat.
I particularly like the natural atmosphere of the Shanghai Botanical Garden. It's a quiet and peaceful place with few people. It's also a great place for photography.
You can enjoy cherry blossoms here in April. My favorite is the large greenhouse inside, some of which look like a plant maze.
I went to the Shanghai Botanical Garden with my partner to see the flower exhibition. There were a lot of people and a wide variety of flowers. I took some photos and shared them with my friends!
Shanghai Botanical Garden boasts a wide variety of tulips in vibrant colors, while the cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and European anemones flower displays are unique.
As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by a large number of tulips, pink, red, white, purple, etc., there are many varieties. I really wanted to dig them up directly. I don’t remember which door I entered. When I entered, I could see cherry blossoms, among which the Japanese cherry blossoms were particularly fragrant, and there were many little bees collecting nectar.
It's a perfect place for photography. A variety of flowers and trees vie for attention, creating a vibrant scene. Spring blossoms are plentiful, making it a perfect place to relax. For those who enjoy taking photos, it's also a great place for photoshoots.
Among the botanical gardens I have visited, the Shanghai Botanical Garden is probably the one with the highest level of construction. What impressed me most was that the bonsai garden also has a small greenhouse.
Formerly the Longhua Nursery, the Shanghai Botanical Garden is a comprehensive botanical garden focused on plant introduction, domestication, and display, horticultural research, and science education. The garden is lush and lush, attracting many residents daily for walks and exercise. Badminton can often be seen playing on the vast lawns, while fishing enthusiasts frequent the riverside. However, the garden's most popular attraction is its diverse collection of flowers. A diverse array of vibrant blossoms can be admired year-round, and themed flower exhibitions showcase rare species, making it a popular spot for flower viewing and photography. The garden has four entrances, all conveniently accessible by bus.
I have attended a wedding at the Botanical Garden before, and the environment was quite nice. After all, it was inside the Botanical Garden and the price was not expensive.
I used to think the botanical garden was so far away and transportation was not very convenient, but it seems to be much more convenient now.
I feel like there’s a lot of greenery in parks nowadays, and very few people come specifically to the botanical garden.
I've been to the botanical gardens in Melbourne, Sydney, and Kandy, but I still prefer the one in Shanghai.
Known as a "true botanical museum," the Shanghai Botanical Garden hosts a large flower show every spring, where tulips can be admired in the area around Gate 4. Peonies are primarily displayed in the Peony Garden, near Gate 3, surrounded by the Azalea Garden and Pine and Cypress Garden.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden boasts 17 gardens, including a bonsai garden, peony garden, osmanthus garden, rose garden, maple garden, pine and cypress garden, herb garden, bamboo garden, and orchid room. It is a favorite outdoor photo spot for Shanghai photographers. The bonsai garden is one of the largest in the world, and the cherry blossom area within the rose garden boasts the highest concentration of cherry blossoms in Shanghai.
Founded in 1978, the Shanghai Botanical Garden covers a total area of 81 hectares and is located in the southwest of Shanghai's Xuhui District. It is one of the largest municipal botanical gardens in my country. When I first entered the garden, I was a little disappointed. It was early spring, and there were not many flowers or plants, just withered reeds and pine trees. However, I was soon pleasantly surprised. The yellow and red maple trees, the golden ginkgo trees, and the deep brown metasequoia trees created a dreamlike season of color. Cuihua, here are the pictures!
To get to Shanghai Botanical Garden, take Metro Line 3 and get off at Shilong Road Station.
The ticket price was 20¥ when I went there in 2016, and the greenhouse cost another 30¥. The rest of the places are unknown.
While the garden's scenery may be artificial, thanks to the hard work of these gardeners, it's vibrant and attracts many visitors, including me. Tulips, cherry blossoms...the flowers in the greenhouse are exceptionally well-cared for, as if to say, "Welcome!" Visitors flocked to the park, many taking photos and strolling, stopping to explore. This year, they even added a May Day fashion show and cosplay! [Comment: I was working overtime, so I didn't see it. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~]
Shanghai Botanical Garden, an old park in Shanghai, is a great place for education, entertainment and leisure.
Accompanying the children to participate in the activities. In fact, the transportation to the botanical garden is not very convenient, and I haven't been there for a long time.
The ticket is 15 yuan, and there is no combined ticket, and there is no group purchase online.
It was a simple orientation activity, just a casual walk around the botanical garden.
What impressed me most was the flower bridge near Longwu Road, with flowers of various colors hanging in the air, which was quite beautiful.
I didn't go to many other places, I just focused on completing the task.
In Zhuyuan, several Christians were praising the Lord loudly and devoutly.
Among domestic botanical gardens, there are few that utilize the conditions of the botanical garden itself to provide a stage for future garden designers to showcase their talents and allow more ordinary people to discover the beauty of gardening. This is one of the reasons why I like the Shanghai Botanical Garden.
Ten years ago, the Shanghai Botanical Garden was the only botanical garden I visited, thanks to its proximity to the city and convenient transportation. At the turn of spring and summer, the fragrance of pink plum blossoms and golden osmanthus fills the air; beneath the trees, a sea of February orchids and tulips creates a magnificent spectacle; it's the blooming season for azaleas and peonies. Imagine summer, with lush lawns and quiet tree-lined paths, the cool breeze shimmering with the swaying lotuses nearby; autumn, a vibrant display of foliage, and winter, the majestic Metasequoia trees... While I felt I couldn't fully explore the garden in just one day, I still left with a special experience. The Shanghai Botanical Garden is quite small, encompassing only 600,000 square meters, but it boasts a wealth of offerings, including a peony garden, a magnolia garden, a bonsai garden, and more than a dozen specialized gardens, as well as the Huang Dao Po Temple. There's also a bonsai garden, an orchid garden, and a greenhouse, all with a fee. However, I only visited the free admission areas; the sheer amount was already overwhelming. The gate of the botanical garden is located on Longwu Road. The scenic area at the entrance is also the most important area of the botanical garden, with special arrangements for different years and seasons.
Spring is the most beautiful season at the Shanghai Botanical Garden. Every spring, the garden hosts a large-scale flower exhibition, concentrated in the Gate 4 area, the green demonstration area, and the exhibition greenhouse. From early spring to early summer, visitors can visit the Orchid Garden, Magnolia Garden, Rose Garden (with cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, crabapple, and redbuds), Peony Garden, and Azalea Garden to fully enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of spring blossoms.
Located in Shanghai's Xuhui District, the Shanghai Botanical Garden is a remote spot, making it a great choice for flower viewing, date nights, and family outings. The garden boasts a rich variety of vegetation, towering trees perfect for shade, and a stunning array of exotic flowers and plants. Seeing these flowers and plants is bound to brighten your mood.
Shanghai Botanical Garden: I thought it wouldn't be that big, given its location in Xuhui District. The online guide suggested a three- to four-hour visit, but I ended up spending a full day there... The experience far exceeded my expectations. There weren't many people during the May Day holiday, considering it's not a popular destination. The garden is huge, and with the International Flower Show taking place, it was a vibrant spectacle of vibrant colors. It was definitely worth the price of admission, though 30 degrees Celsius was too hot... Climbing upstairs to explore the tropical rainforest area was like being in a sauna. I finally caught the last vestiges of spring, but the sudden change in temperature also gave me a cold 🤒...
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is one of the best gardens in Shanghai. In late March, the garden is a picturesque spectacle, with cherry blossoms in full bloom and a wealth of other flowers in vibrant colors. It's a great place for sightseeing, leisure, and vacations. It's also easily accessible: Shilong Road Station on Metro Line 3 is just a short distance from Gate 4 of the Shanghai Botanical Garden. The garden has a sales department selling a variety of flowers, planting tools, and supplies. While it's less crowded on weekdays, it can be a bit crowded on holidays, so avoid it if possible. Admission is 15 yuan, and a general pass is 40 yuan. People over 70 are free.
Spring is a good time to enjoy flowers, there are often flower exhibitions, and it is a good place for outings.
Admission to the Shanghai Botanical Garden is 15 yuan for the main entrance, 30 yuan for the greenhouse, and 7 yuan for the orchid room. A combined admission ticket is available for 40 yuan. Greenhouse 1 simulates a tropical rainforest environment and primarily displays tropical plants. Greenhouse 2 houses the Four Seasons Botanical Garden, showcasing drought-tolerant cacti, pitcher plants, and other insectivorous plants. The outdoor areas include the Magnolia Garden, Azalea Garden, Rose Garden, Bamboo Garden, and Maple Garden, each featuring concentrated plantings of different families and genera, perfect for seasonal viewing. A list of plants available for viewing each month is available at the entrance for reference.
I go to this place at least twice a year. The red plum blossoms in early spring, the cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, crabapples and tulips in full bloom, and the sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums in autumn are all extremely beautiful. It may not look big, but it takes a lot of effort to really walk through it.
You can go for a walk if you have nothing to do. The air is good and there are many plants.
The Botanical Garden is located southwest of Shanghai, not far from Shanghai South Railway Station. It's a vast garden filled with a wide variety of plants. A visit in spring or autumn is quite pleasant. There are three entrances to the garden, the most convenient of which is near the Shilong Road light rail station.
At the Gesneriaceae special exhibition of the 2016 Shanghai Botanical Garden Autumn Flower Show, which opened on October 15, a total of about 400 rare plants including African violets, colorful Gesneria, twisted Gesneria, Gloxinia, long-tube flowers, weeping tube flowers, and shade-loving flowers were exhibited.
It was quite hot when I went, and it coincided with the International Flower Show, so it was quite crowded, but overall it was a great experience. I learned about many plants and experienced their beauty. The peony, truly the king of flowers, was stunning. There are also several greenhouses to visit, which was nice.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden's exhibition area features 15 specialized gardens, including a plant evolution zone, bonsai garden, herb garden, exhibition greenhouse, orchid room, and greenery demonstration area. I had to get up early to visit the Shanghai Botanical Garden. I needed to buy a ticket at the entrance, but the ticket seller wasn't on duty yet. I offered the handsome security guard money, but he refused. After much persuasion, he finally let me in. I'm so grateful to him!
I remember going to the botanical garden twice. The first time wasn't very memorable. I think we went to see the chrysanthemum exhibition during National Day. The second time, we went with a large group. It was near May Day and there was an exhibition themed around tulips and cherry blossoms. We went on a weekend and it was very crowded. We didn't see any advertisements and just went on a whim. By chance, we caught a cheongsam event in the garden. Most of the participants in cheongsam were older women, and there were quite a few beautiful and elegant people. It was mid-spring and the weather was already quite warm. We went there wearing coats and winter boots. The scenery was really nice. The various horticultural displays were very creative and beautiful. The tickets were really inexpensive. The botanical garden is huge and has a wide variety of plants. You can easily spend a whole day there. There are also several gardens within the garden, so it's a good deal to buy a package ticket. Too much talk would be too much to take. The best picture is above.
To get to the Botanical Garden, take Metro Line 3 (get off at Shilong Road) and walk straight ahead for about ten minutes. The main entrance fee is 15 yuan, and a combined ticket (exhibition greenhouse, bonsai garden, and orchid room) is 40 yuan. We bought the combined ticket, and based on my experience, I still recommend buying the main entrance fee. The combined ticket isn't worth it. The exhibition greenhouses are just large tropical plants, nothing much to see. The bonsai garden is okay, with some rare succulents, but the orchid room is empty; it's just a quaint place to relax.
I went there during the Qingming Festival, which was a good time for flowers to bloom. You can just buy a big ticket to visit it, and there is no need to buy a combined ticket. It is enough for you to visit for most of the day.
It’s close to the city, with convenient transportation and not many people on weekdays. You must go there during the annual flower festival!
I arrived at the botanical garden and bought a 40 yuan ticket. Maybe it was because it was still spring (it was cloudy but sunny today), but many flowers were open. At first glance, it was really pleasing to the eye and also smelled good...
I bought tickets through a group buy app. Get off at Shilong Road Station on Line 3. It's about a 10-minute walk to Gate 4 of the Botanical Gardens. I redeem my paper ticket with a text message. I didn't buy any additional tickets for the other pavilions; the view was already amazing. It was so hot, I didn't explore much. It was during the flower show, so the scenery was beautiful.
It was the day before the Shanghai International Flower Festival when we went there. The weather was a little cloudy, but the flowers were in full bloom. There is a huge cherry tree in front of the greenhouse, with lush flowers.
There are many varieties of peony gardens, with colors from all over the world, colorful and beautiful. When I went there in May, it was the concentrated blooming season. There are also many varieties of orchids in the greenhouse garden, as well as tulips. If you love flowers, you can check the season online before going.
It was a bit chilly when I visited in early spring, but the cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and tulips were all in bloom, which was quite beautiful. The signage within the park isn't very clear, so I sometimes had to take a detour. The environment and facilities are quite old, and some trees, plants, and flowers have died and are unmaintained. Weekend attendance was close to a thousand. The two greenhouses showcased a wide variety of tropical plants. The orchid garden was average, but the buildings within the gardens featured many orchid elements, which was quite novel. You can buy combined tickets or individual garden tickets. I recommend visiting if you're nearby. If you're looking to see more flowers, consider visiting Chenshan Botanical Garden or a larger park.
The botanical garden is quite large, and the entrance fee is 15 yuan, with student IDs offering discounts. There are often small exhibitions in the garden, but these also require a small entrance fee. If you're interested, you can choose to buy a combined ticket, which is more cost-effective, or you can choose a group purchase, which is 2 yuan cheaper.
For transportation, take Subway Line 3 to Shilong Road Station and walk for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, take the subway to Shanghai South Railway Station and transfer to Bus No. 973.
If you live nearby, you can choose to get a monthly pass for 20 yuan a month, which allows unlimited entry and exit, which is quite a good deal.
The scenery in the botanical garden is quite nice, with many varieties of flowers, plants and trees, and you can see different beautiful scenery in every season.
Located in southwest Xuhui District, the Shanghai Botanical Garden covers 81 hectares and comprises more than ten specialized gardens, including a bonsai garden, a pine and cypress garden, and a peony garden. Flower exhibitions are held throughout the seasons, making it a popular destination for flower viewing and outings. Admission is 15 yuan (excluding the specialized gardens).
Shanghai residents usually go to the Botanical Garden through Gate 1 on Longwu Road, but the subway does not go there directly. They must transfer to Bus 824 at the Shanghai Indoor Stadium, or transfer to Bus 56 on Line 11 at Longyao Road, which is a detour and time-consuming.
This time I found a quick and convenient route: take Metro Line 3 to Shilong Road, and there is Dongquan Road opposite the exit. Walk straight along the road for about 10 minutes to reach Gate 4 of the Botanical Garden.
...because it's close to home and easily accessible by public transportation. It's a highly desirable AAAA-rated attraction within easy reach.
...[Public Transportation] I think the most convenient routes are bus 720 (terminus: Shanghai Stadium - Lianhua Road Station) and bus 56 (transfer to Line 3 at Longcao Road). From a restaurant perspective, it's best to enter through Gate 3 for the best value. Some traffic at Longwu Road from Gate 1 requires crossing a bridge, making it the least cost-effective. If you're driving, there are parking lots at Gates 2 and 3 for 10 yuan a day.
Admission: 15.00 yuan. Exhibition greenhouse: 21.00 yuan. Bonsai garden: 5.00 yuan. Orchid room: 5.00 yuan. Combo ticket (including admission, exhibition greenhouse, orchid room, and bonsai garden): 40.00 yuan. (The price in the picture is a gift from someone else, so it's different from the price on Baidu.)
TIPS 1. There are two greenhouses, one large and one small. The larger one is worth a visit. It's not as big as the one in Chenshan Botanical Garden, but it has a richer variety of species. I was particularly impressed by bananas and betel nuts. It's very hot, so be careful in the summer. The orchid room doesn't have an orchid exhibition, but rather a spider plant exhibition. Like the bonsai garden, it's a bit deserted. However, the combined ticket is very affordable, so give it a try if you have time.
TIPS 2: On weekends, many parents bring their children here for picnics. There's grassy areas for sleeping on the ground. During cherry blossom season, orchid exhibitions, there are also events, making it well worth a visit! The photos I posted are from cherry blossom season. It was crowded, but much nicer than Gucun Park. Back then, in 2011, WeChat promotion wasn't as overwhelming, so I was able to take photos. I also went there during the tulip exhibition, and it was beautiful. It wasn't as large as Daning Lingshi, but more delicate. You can learn a lot about the plant species.
TIPS 3. It is recommended to bring your own food. There is a small shop inside, but there are not many places to sit. If you are on the weekend, it is best to come in the morning when there are fewer people.
【Summary】If you are just going for a weekend trip, just avoid the peak hours. If you are going specifically for the plants, remember to make a plan in advance. This is the official website address, you can click on the four seasons guide map → →***
The photos are all from the early days. At that time, the mobile phone technology, photography technology and posing technology were all very advanced... Just make do with it~ You can still take some photos to show off your beauty~
April 4, 2011, December 25, 2011, March 30, 2013
It's not bad, but when I went there, there were only sunflowers, some lotus and giant pandas.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is one of my must-visits every weekend. I have a monthly pass for 18 yuan, which gives me access countless times. Since I work, I visit every weekend.
First of all, the Shanghai Botanical Garden is quite large, and the area I visit the most is only about three-quarters of the garden.
Most tourists will enter from Gate 2 because it is the main entrance, beautiful and grand.
However, I prefer to go in through Gate 3.
There are many areas in the botanical garden, including the osmanthus garden, bamboo forest, tropical exhibition, orchid room, etc.
The orchid room and tropical greenhouse are not accessible with a monthly pass. You can only enter with a 40 yuan pass. If you have been to the greenhouse at Chenshan Botanical Garden, you don't need to go there because it is very small.
The rest of the places are free. My favorite is the bamboo forest. There are few people there and the feeling of the bamboo forest is very good.
In addition, the botanical garden holds many flower shows, all of which are seasonal flower shows and are worth seeing.
Finally, here is the transportation guide:
Get off at Shanghai South Station on Subway Line 3 or Line 1, take bus 957, etc., get off at the Botanical Garden, cross the street and you will reach Gate 3 of the Botanical Garden;
Take bus 824/720 to Gate 2, Gate 3, etc.
I had high expectations for the Shanghai Botanical Garden before coming here. I took the subway line 3 for a long time and got off at Shilong Road Station. After getting off, I could take the bus or walk. The walking plan is to walk to the road opposite the Hualian Supermarket diagonally, and then walk straight ahead for about ten to fifteen minutes, and you can see the entrance of the botanical garden. Student ID cards are half-price (graduated student ID cards can also be used). The botanical garden is not very big and is divided into several parts. Tickets for several greenhouses need to be purchased separately. The area at the entrance is mainly flowers, plants and trees. To be honest, there are not many kinds of flowers. Walk a little further ahead and there is a food street. The greenhouse is next to the road. You can rent bicycles in the garden, and there is also a small children's playground. For those who come here specifically to see plants, the road is far and there are few plants. If people nearby like plants, it is okay to come and visit occasionally. Overall, it's average
Shanghai Botanical Garden is located in the southwest of Xuhui District. Formerly the Longhua Nursery, it is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
The tickets are cheap and the scenery is nice. Elderly people nearby often go there to exercise in the morning!
I went there during the flower show in April and May.
There is still a bit of chill in early spring.
But I am still happy to see the beautiful flowers~
And I've been living in the city for a long time~
Take a break in the green park and breathe in the fresh air.
Feeling very comfortable~
I saw many people picnicking on the grass and basking in the sun.
Very good~
There are different flowers blooming in each season. I went there when the cherry blossoms were in bloom and it was very beautiful.
It’s cheap, cheap, cheap, and it’s quite big inside.
There was a flower show on the day I went there, and it was really packed... But the flowers were in full bloom and very beautiful, it was definitely worth a visit. I took a lot of photos with my good friends!
Rich in plants, affordable tickets, especially suitable for a walk and relaxation
It was quite crowded when I went. I liked the greenhouse exhibits more. One exhibited mostly desert plants, and the other had tropical plants. The orchid exhibit was beautiful, with a wide variety.
I go there every spring when the flowers bloom. It's a pretty big place. I wish it weren't so crowded.
The botanical garden within the outer ring road is quite large. The nearest rail transit is Line 3, but it takes quite a long walk to get to Gate 4. Some venues inside charge admission fees, and you can buy a combined ticket for 40 yuan. It is a good time to go when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, as there are large cherry blossom forests inside, which are very beautiful. There will be an international flower exhibition in the spring, with many sceneries, which I recommend everyone to see. In order to give back to the citizens, retired seniors in Xuhui District can apply for an annual pass for 100 yuan, which also allows them to enter freely during the flower exhibition. There is a small children's playground near Gate 4, but it is not cheap, so I don't recommend playing there. There are two-seater bicycles for rent in the park for transportation, but I personally recommend walking, as bicycles are difficult to ride in the bamboo forest.
Shanghai Botanical Garden, ticket price is 25 yuan. Shanghai is already full of philodendrons in March, it is so beautiful!
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is getting more and more beautiful. I remember my first visit four years ago. The thing that impressed me most was the large greenhouse. There were a lot of varieties of flowers and plants inside, but the rest of the garden seemed deserted. However, this time I discovered many flower sheds that I had never seen before. It's really worth a visit.
When the flowers bloom, it is beautiful. The yukin (a type of cherry blossom) and weeping peach blossoms make it something to yearn for. After all, it's not something you can find everywhere!
The botanical gardens seem a bit lonely in winter, but perhaps I just enjoy the tranquility. A typical itinerary for this season involves visiting the Magnolia Garden to see the various plum blossoms, and then visiting the two greenhouses to see the tropical plants. Entering the gardens, I put on my headphones, listened to music, and enjoyed the beautiful Sunday morning light.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is a great place for a spring outing. The cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms are all in full bloom. The signs of decay are quite noticeable, but it's great to have a park like this in the city. Tickets are cheap, and student IDs offer discounts. There are also activities like pedal boats.
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is really quite ordinary, just a park. We went there to plant trees. It is not like some city botanical gardens, which are built on the mountain. The scenery will be much better that way. It is because of the geographical characteristics. There are no mountains in the alluvial plain. I still like the botanical garden in Xiamen. There are many tropical plants and it is very unique.
It's not much different from an ordinary city park, with just some greenhouses, gardening, and flowers and plants. It's my first time here, so it's just average.
Officially opened to the public in April 1978, the park features over a dozen specialized gardens, including a bonsai garden, a peony garden, a rose garden, and a bamboo garden. It boasts nearly a thousand exquisite bonsai, exemplified by the Shanghai style, making it one of the largest national bonsai gardens in China. A must-see for photographers.
The weather was not very good every time I went there, and it was always winter, so the indoor museum felt pretty good.
In terms of distance, it is much closer to the city center than Chenshan. Although the greenhouse is not as large as Chenshan, you can tell its age from the tangled plants and feel the care of the managers. Very good
There are a lot of vegetation and various flowers inside, which are super beautiful. The air quality is also very good and fresh.
Magnolias and tulips are in full bloom, and the early cherry blossoms are also blooming. The garden is full of people, tourists, and workers who are constantly working and constructing. The sun is shining.
The yard is very large. If you are going there for the first time, it is recommended to buy a 40-yuan combined ticket, because it would be a pity not to visit the greenhouse and bonsai garden, especially Greenhouse No. 1 and Bonsai Garden.
In Greenhouse No. 1, there are all kinds of plants, both seen and not seen before, tropical and African. There are more than a dozen species of coconut trees alone, and the pitcher plants are even more exaggerated. A special exhibition is even opened for them.
The bonsai garden is hosting the second Shanghai International Youth Bonsai Forum, so there are many exhibits, including bold, innovative and diverse Shanghai-style bonsai, as well as small bonsai with the characteristics of small bonsai paired with wild grasses. The bonsai garden is the largest and brings together the essence of bonsai art from all over the country.
One thing I didn't like was that there were very few roadside signs throughout the park. I took a lot of detours and was even pointed in the wrong direction by the security guard at the restaurant entrance. I don't know if it was intentional.
Overall it was great. I walked around for about four or five hours and my back and waist ached.
