Nan'an Secret Garden - Chongqing Nanshan Botanical Garden

🌟I've also reached the age where I like taking photos of flowers and plants. From the moment I entered the park to the moment I left, I used up a full power bank [Facepalm]. It was refreshing, leisurely, quiet, and healing. It was a completely different experience from queuing up to check in at popular attractions. I was alone in many parks. The botanical garden covers an area of ​​551 hectares and is built entirely on the mountain. The highest altitude is 681 meters, with a huge drop in height. You need to go up and down the hill constantly. It takes great physical strength and perseverance to complete the tour, so be sure to wear a pair of comfortable shoes. The park is lush with trees, green hills, flourishing flowers and trees, and a collection of famous flowers. Cherry blossoms, crabapples, camellias, magnolias, peach blossoms, azaleas, orchids, white jasmine, osmanthus, plum blossoms and other exotic flowers are in full bloom all year round, forming a tourist pattern of "viewing flowers in spring, enjoying the cool in summer, appreciating osmanthus in autumn, chanting plum blossoms in winter, and watching the sea of ​​lights in the mountain city at night." "Nanshan Drunk Flowers" has become one of the new twelve scenic spots of Bayu and has won the reputation of "Flower Crown of the Mountain City". 🌟The park has the legendary remains of Dayu's flood control, temples built since the Tang Dynasty, iron masts, Wenfeng Tower, and a large number of official residences and villas during the Anti-Japanese War. These are all cultural landscapes with extremely high historical value. At the same time, there are modern cultural landscapes such as the Yikeshu Observation Deck, the Flower God, Shi Guangnan Music Square, the Big Golden Eagle, and the Stone Sculpture Park. Some official residence ruins have been transformed into small libraries and exhibition halls while maintaining their original appearance. They also hold regular knowledge lectures, DIY and other activities, which are very innovative. 🌟Unfortunately, due to limited physical strength, I did not climb the Great Golden Eagle [Cry], and lost the opportunity to have a panoramic view of Nanshan Mountain. There is a greenhouse simulating a tropical rainforest at the entrance. It has a rich variety of plants and creates a moist and cool environment. Don't miss it. It is recommended to take the bus down the mountain. The botanical garden is the starting point of the bus, and there are few people and seats. There are many ladies selling straw trinkets at the exit, which are quite unique but remember to bargain. All in all, it’s a great place and fun. I hope to come again in the spring when the sea of ​​flowers will be even more stunning.
