Shanghai Botanical Garden, plant encyclopedia under the glass dome.

Asia's largest Shanghai World Expo Botanical Garden is truly extraordinary. There are many rare plants here. The giant cacti and baobab trees that I had only seen in movies or documentaries before are now presented right before my eyes, which is shocking. The man-made landscape is also very interesting and is definitely a great place to check in! 🕙Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (no admission at 16:30), closed on Mondays (except statutory holidays). 🚗Self-driving: P5 parking lot is recommended, which charges 8 yuan/hour and is closest to the entrance of the botanical garden.

[Scenic] Shanghai Botanical Garden has three major theme pavilions: [Hall 1 Sea Island]: displays tropical arid plants. [Hall 2: Forest on the Cloud]: displays tropical rainforest plants. [Hall 3 Cloud Canyon]: Displays tropical flowers and plants. 🗓 Route arrangement: [One] It is recommended to enter from Pavilion 1, enter Pavilion 2 through the underwater passage, and exit from Pavilion 2. Whether from the 1st or 2nd floor (Photo 20), you can enter the 3rd Loop Exhibition Hall. [Two] Pavilion 1 is dominated by tall desert plants. It has only one floor and can be viewed in its entirety by walking along the one-way path (Photos 2-7). [Three] Entered Pavilion 2 through the underwater passage, which was a tropical rainforest, surrounded by clouds and mist, and very humid (Photos 8-16). Pavilion 2 has three floors, so be sure to follow the signs to avoid missing any sights. [Four] Photos 1, 13, 14, and 15 are the underwater forests that are unique to the botanical garden and are not to be missed. [Five] After walking around the three floors of Pavilion 2, you will return to the exit near the underwater forest. Of course, there is also an exit on the second floor. Walk to Pavilion 3 opposite. Pavilion 3 is a 2-story circular exhibition hall. You can walk around the entire hall in any way you like. The core is the waterfall (Photos 17-19), and there is also a children's water play area. The children's water play area has a distinct smell of disinfectant, which is somewhat irritating to the respiratory tract. 📝Note tips: [One] During holidays and weekends, you must make reservations in advance at the "Shanghai World Expo Cultural Park" or Ctrip tickets to avoid the embarrassment of limited flow due to large crowds. [Two][DoubleHearts][DoubleHearts][DoubleHearts]At all the forks in the road in the exhibition halls, there are yellow signs with "recommended directions" [YellowHeart] [YellowHeart], and you must listen to the advice to avoid missing any scenery. [Three] The temperature in Hall 2 is not only high, but also very humid, similar to the feeling of the plum rain season. Please be careful about adding or removing clothes. If you feel uncomfortable, you can exit the hall at any time on the 1st or 2nd floor and re-enter.
