The botanical garden is located in the north of the middle section of Modern Avenue in the park, forming an angle with Jinji Lake and Shahu Lake, covering a total area of about 60.5 hectares, of which the water surface area is about 12 hectares. The design of the garden comes from the well-known Dutch landscape design company NITA Landscape Design Institute. The plant collocation and plant landscaping in Baitang Botanical Garden will highlight the ecological landscape. Plant design, terrain shaping, and water body design are all based on the principle of simulating the ecology of nature. A certain scale of natural landscape forest will be arranged, and some wild animals, birds, insects, etc. will be introduced to gradually make the forest itself form an ecological cycle. In order to make up for the lack of natural mountains in the park, the botanical garden will also carry out terrain transformation, and create mountains through artificial mounds to create a landscape of ups and downs. The lake water of Baitang Lake will also be presented in the form of primitive ecology. On the one hand, the water level can be effectively controlled and connected with the water circulation of the outer river. On the other hand, the tortuous lake shoreline, river network, hillside wetlands, etc., will naturally display diverse ecology. community.
