When the sunlight shines down, the tropical plants create a play of light and shadow. Every step is full of surprises. 🍃Desert Plant Greenhouse: This is a "future fortress" in the desert, with a super cool inclined cantilever structure! The greenhouse collects desert plants from all over the world. Giant cactus clusters, taller than people, are neatly arranged and look particularly spectacular in the sun. Each plant shows its tenacious vitality. 🍃Four Seasons Flower Greenhouse: A year-round flower feast, it is simply a romantic fairy tale world! The flowers compete with each other for beauty here. Cherry blossoms are like snow in spring, hydrangeas bloom in summer, chrysanthemums stand proudly in autumn, and amaryllis blooms in winter. No matter when you come, you can encounter a visual feast. 🔷It takes about 2 hours to visit the three greenhouses. After visiting the flower greenhouse, you can take a break by the lake and wait for the night to fall 🌠 🔷Around 19:30, the three botanical greenhouses and the starry sky roof begin to light up (subject to actual conditions), which is really beautiful and romantic!
