Hangzhou Botanical Garden

📍 Hangzhou, China ✨ If you're looking for a peaceful spot to breathe in fresh air in Hangzhou, the Hangzhou Botanical Garden is highly recommended. It's one of the favorite relaxation spots for locals and nature-loving tourists, located not far from West Lake, with a serene and lush atmosphere. ✨ Inside the garden, you'll find a variety of plants to explore leisurely, including a bamboo garden, a Chinese herbal garden, seasonal flower gardens, and greenhouses showcasing specialized plants. It's perfect for plant enthusiasts or anyone looking for a picturesque spot to relax in nature. ✨ A must-visit area is the plum blossom zone (梅花), which blooms during spring – capturing photos here gives off a subtle Japanese vibe, but you're still in China! If you visit during summer, the garden is vibrant and green, making it a pleasant place to stroll all day. ✨ We traveled here using DiDi from downtown Hangzhou, which took about 15 minutes. It's super convenient – no need to transfer vehicles or walk far. Just pin "Hangzhou Botanical Garden" in the app, and the driver will surely know the location. ✨ For a quieter experience, visit in the morning or evening when the air is fresh, and the crowd is minimal. You'll definitely get beautiful photos!
