User Reviews

Overall it's pretty good.

I went there with my girlfriend on the Qingming Festival. The Botanical Garden is less than 200 meters away from the subway station. The transportation is very convenient. I arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning and spent 5 yuan for a student ticket. I played until after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The garden is very large.

The advantage is that there are all kinds of scenery with rich varieties, but the disadvantage is that there are no large-scale landscapes. The Manhua Manor next door has a large sea of ​​flowers, but the botanical garden does not, which is a pity.

By later. |

I went there two days ago. The temperature in Chengdu was 28°C that day, which was quite cool. I read the comments of other bee friends in advance. If you plan to take pictures, there are abandoned railway tracks on both sides of the entrance of the botanical garden. There is smoke not far from the entrance, and there is a bridge on top. Going up the mountain, there will be a large lawn, a thousand-foot forest, and a cactus plant area. The ticket is 10/person, which is still very cost-effective. I was in a hurry that day and left after more than an hour. I didn't finish visiting many places. If you have time, you can play for a while longer. There are many people taking wedding photos.

Located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, it can be directly reached by Metro Line 3 and there are many flowers and plants inside.

It used to be a neither-good-nor-bad big park where people could enjoy flowers, watch birds, sunbathe and fly kites. Now with the opening of the science museum, it finally has its own unique features and is suitable for taking children on weekend outings.

I have always wanted to visit the Desert Botanical Garden, but I never found the time to go there in Guangzhou. Unexpectedly, my little wish was fulfilled in Chengdu this time. I went to visit the Chengdu Botanical Garden with my friends.

There are many branch gardens in the park, such as the Plum Garden, Begonia Garden, Camellia Garden, Wintersweet Garden, Osmanthus Garden, Pear Garden, Cherry Garden, etc. The Plum Garden is at the west gate of the Botanical Garden. The plum blossoms will bloom in February. Friends who want to enjoy the plum blossoms should remember the time.

It is still more than 10 kilometers away from the city center, with convenient transportation, Metro Line 3, and very cheap tickets. Climb up the stairs, stroll among the mountains and forests, the air is fresh, the time is quiet, peaceful and comfortable, and you will see the autumn colors that you can't see in Guangzhou.

As the first succulent greenhouse in the southwest region, it houses about 200 species of plants from the cacti, euphorbiaceae, and agave families. The cacti in the desert plant museum are very cute and can be easily photographed in an Instagram-style style when paired with simple clothing.

The botanical garden is very simple, without any traces of fine craftsmanship, and the plants grow freely in large areas. The tropical plant area should be the highlight of the botanical garden. Tropical plants such as cacti grow in a glass house. As soon as you walk in, you will feel the full tropical atmosphere. There is an abandoned railway track at the gate of the botanical garden, one on the left and one on the right, and the middle has been filled. The section on the right is better because it has a curved arc. This place naturally becomes a favorite photo spot for art cancer patients, and I took pictures with my friends without saying a word. There are lush green trees on both sides of the track, and it is quiet. This road leads to the distance with no end in sight, and the sense of picture suddenly arises.

I think the two biggest highlights are the tropical plant area and the railroad tracks at the entrance, both of which are very suitable for people who like taking photos.

I came here with my family on the weekend. There is a private parking lot at the door, which costs 10 yuan. The entrance fee is 10 yuan. I came here once many years ago and drank tea inside. I remember that there were lush trees inside and you could take a battery car to visit. This time I walked for a while after entering the door, and then took a battery car again when I was tired. The fee was also 10 yuan. There are many varieties of plants inside, the ecological environment is very good, there are many birds, and many newlyweds are taking wedding photos. It is worth visiting.

Friends who come to Chengdu for a visit can go and have a look. There are many varieties of plants there.

Ticket price: 10 yuan

Chengdu Botanical Garden is a great place for taking photos. The red plum blossoms are in full bloom in mid-February, and the vast grove of plum trees is the gathering point for aunts’ gatherings.

The cactus house in the botanical garden is also suitable for taking photos. The temperature inside the glass house is close to summer. This is the place with the highest concentration of xerophytes in Chengdu.

Not bad, go for a picnic when the sun is out in the spring. There are a lot of people on weekends, so you need to go early to get a good spot. The scenery is great, there are a lot of flowers, and it's very clean! There is also a place to drink tea and rest in the park! It's also suitable for everyone to take photos! Picnic and photo shooting are not delayed!

I learned about this attraction from reading reviews on Bubble TV. It is on the Chengdu Line 3 route, passing through the Chengdu Zoo, Panda Base, and Botanical Garden along the way. The flowers were so beautiful when I went there. The section of railway track in front of the garden is indeed a place to take literary photos. The photos are very good. It is still worthwhile to learn about the relevant knowledge and evolutionary history of plants in Harbin.

By Want to change ID |

It feels quite far from Chengdu. After taking the subway, you have to transfer to the bus. There is nothing particularly beautiful in spring. In short, it is just so-so.

There is a section of railway track at the entrance of the botanical garden, which may not be common, but I think it is quite interesting. It was mid-November when I went to the botanical garden. There was only the fragrance of wintersweet. In the greenhouse, it may be because it was Sunday, there were more people in the afternoon, but it was still comfortable. There were melon seeds, wolf teeth, potato noodles and the like at the entrance. After eating, the only thing I could remember was the rabbit noodles٩( 'ω' )و

It is a paradise for birds.

This type of attraction

It requires interest.

If you have the heart,

You can calm down and learn about plants.

You can also breathe some fresh air.

The botanical garden is very large and located in a remote area. The rich fragrance of various flowers mixed together is a bit stuffy. There is an abandoned railway track outside the garden, which is very feel and suitable for taking pictures.

By Cat who loves life |

It is more suitable for you to relax here with your family during your free time on weekends.

By The legend |

I took my son there once on his birthday. It's very suitable for a family trip. The location is OK. It's in Tianhui Town outside the third ring road of Chengdu, very close to the zoo. Because we live in the suburbs, it only takes about 20 minutes to drive there. It's not far, but very close. There is an abandoned train track outside the park, which is quite suitable for taking fresh railway photos here. The ticket price is 10 yuan per person, which is not expensive. The elderly can enter the park for free with their senior citizen card. The most important thing is that parking is very convenient. It is just to the right of the ticket office, in a very spacious dam. The parking fee is not expensive, 5 yuan per car. The green area in the park is very large. There is a big hill with many flowers and plants planted on it. It is perfect to bring the elderly and children here when the weather is good. Walking along the small hill, there are many rare tree species along the way. There are many trees and the air is good. It is simply a natural oxygen bar. Walking along the mountain road to the front, there is a very spacious lawn. It is also a good choice to have a picnic in it with a picnic mat when you are free. On windy days, you can fly kites on it and enjoy such a peaceful, ordinary and happy life.

Since the hotel I stayed in was in Xindu District, I came to the botanical garden. I might lose my job in the next few days, and I was not in a good mood, so I came to relax. I found that it was a good place to relax. There were many kinds of plants in it. It felt like I was communicating with them at close range. I took a deep breath of oxygen and forgot everything for a while.

By Quiet CR7 |

Very good, worth going together. And the ticket is not expensive.

Chengdu Botanical Garden is located on Sichuan-Shaanxi Road outside the North Third Ring Road in the city. The garden is quiet and cool. The stone paths are lined with tall trees for shade. When you walk to the camphor wood forest, you can smell the fragrance of camphor trees. There is a large lawn in the center of the botanical garden. It is great to have a picnic there in spring. Bring your own moisture-proof mat to spread on the lawn or a tent, some cooked food and snacks, and it is best to bring a portable loudspeaker. Enjoy the spring sunshine, eat delicious food, listen to melodious music, lie on the lawn and take a nice nap. It feels really good. There is also a teahouse in a small forest. Go there in the morning to make a cup of tea and breathe the fresh air in this natural oxygen bar. The teahouse also includes lunch and mahjong. The set meal seems to be only ten yuan, which is very cost-effective.

Not far from the city, there is no noise, no wild dancing, it’s a miracle, such quiet green, 10 likes.

By A seagull |

The ticket is 10 yuan. There are many flowers in spring. It is nice to take pictures under the cherry trees and drink tea under the pear trees. Of course, it is much inferior to the botanical gardens in tropical areas.

The European-style lawn in the park is the largest open green space in Chengdu. Many children fly kites here. There are also areas for drinking tea, eating and relaxing in the central area of ​​the park. Many beautiful brides who have their wedding photos taken in the park also add a touch of scenery to the park.
