The Shanghai Botanical Garden is a botanical garden with a long history in Shanghai. Today, its area and scale are very large. The location of the Shanghai Botanical Garden is also very advantageous, and there are many places to visit nearby.

One of the main venues of the International Flower Show, it is worthy of its name. The flower show exhibition site is carefully designed and unique in shape, which is refreshing for me. At the same time, there are other flower species areas that also interest me.

Shanghai Botanical Garden is located at No. 1111, Longwu Road, Xuhui District. It is a great place to enjoy flowers in spring. In spring, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, tulips and other flowers in the garden are in full bloom. The magnolias in the Magnolia Garden are elegant and noble, and the peonies in the Peony Garden are beautiful and fragrant. There is also an aerial plank road to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the spring treetops. The breath of spring is everywhere, which is intoxicating. Due to subway construction, the gate on Longwu Road is closed, and you can enter and exit from the Baise Road gate. Now a new gate has opened on Dongquan Road, which can also be visited.

The Botanical Garden is open for free. Take your family to enjoy the autumn scenery on the weekend. Gate 4 is close to the subway station. There are a few parking spaces at the door, but not many! Green travel is also good! The robot coffee at the entrance of Gate 4 is very cost-effective, only 9.7 per cup, and the taste is also good! There are bicycles and boats for rent in the Botanical Garden, and benches for rest can be seen everywhere. You can stop and rest for a while when you are tired! There is a large lawn near the artificial lake, where you can put a picnic mat and enjoy the beautiful scenery while eating delicious food! There are osmanthus gardens and bamboo gardens at Gate 3. The whole garden is very large, and it takes 3-4 hours to visit it all!

The first time I came to Shanghai Botanical Garden, I was very satisfied. The flowers and plants were very beautiful, the area was large, and it was free. The most worth a visit was four greenhouse greenhouses. You can see four for 30 yuan. It was simply too suitable. There are many rare plants in it. I have never seen it before. For those who like flowers and plants, it is definitely a worthwhile trip.

Shanghai Botanical Garden last year "50th anniversary of the construction of the park", plus the TV drama flowers in Shanghai fire. The Botanical Garden held an international flower show in combination with the magic city spring characteristics. The botanical garden that was originally going to collect tickets has become a free benefit in the past two years, so that everyone can come to play for 0 yuan. Especially recommend the Fanghua area along the way, very popular science with gardening flower knowledge.

Walking into Shanghai Botanical Garden, tulips are in full bloom. The vast sea of ​​tulips looks like colorful clouds from the sky. The red ones are like fire, passionate and unrestrained; the pink ones are like clouds, shy and charming; the white ones are like snow, pure and noble. They sway gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of spring. Strolling through the garden, the fragrance of flowers lingers, and every step is full of surprises. It is really a wonderful garden experience.
