Xiamen Botanical Garden(Wanshi Botanical Garden)

Good botanical garden visit early to have a leisurely walk around the park

The plant species are abundant, such as the royal palm trees (also known as the missile group) in the palm plant area, the Norfolk Island pine forest area, the cactus series as tall as a person in the succulent plant area, which is very beautiful and impressive. There are also seasonal bougainvillea of ​​various colors on display, unique tropical rainforest plants, the lush banana series, and the tall lemon eucalyptus trees without bark and with white trunks that are particularly eye-catching, reminiscent of hairless cats.

The walkway was a bit tiring on the legs. I didn't check how much the sightseeing bus fare was. If it's 20-30 yuan and you can ride as much as you want, that's a good option. Otherwise, it's a bit tiring, especially since there are many other places to visit nearby.

Xiamen Botanical Garden is a 5A-level botanical garden with a rich variety of plants. The most recommended area is the succulent area. There are many varieties of cacti, some of which are very tall, some are strange, and there are even very rare plants such as baobabs. It is really an eye-opener to take a walk inside. The park has a very convenient scenic bus. It is recommended to enter from the west gate and then take a bus all the way to the south gate. After taking the sightseeing elevator from the south gate, you can go to Huangcuo Beach to play. There are many scammers at the west gate. They will tell you that you cannot visit without an appointment, or that the park is closed today, etc. Everyone should be careful.

Standing at the entrance of the succulent plant area, the flat stone path winds and extends, with elephant leg trees and chrysanthemum aloe scattered around. The changing scenery instantly brings people into the desolate and magnificent desert landscape. During the May Day holiday, it is the flowering season of succulents, and the beautiful colors show the vigor of life. From April 26 to May 5, the traffic routes in the scenic area will be adjusted to two loop lines in the east and west.

Xiamen Botanical Garden, with its rich tropical and subtropical plants, displays the graceful southern rain forest style in a dense green vegetation and not too steep slopes. The mountain is dotted with typical Xiamen coastal subtropical granite of various shapes. The landscape is extremely patchwork and the various exhibited plants are remarkable. There are a wide variety of plants and flowers to watch.

Xiamen Botanical Garden covers a very large area. The distances between the four gates are not close. I have never visited the entire botanical garden in Xiamen for so many years. Recently, I fell in love with outdoor hiking and often went to the botanical garden from various locations to experience its beauty more deeply. Autumn is the season when Xiamen bougainvillea blooms. The bougainvillea exhibition area in the botanical garden is full of various varieties all over the mountains and plains. It can be said to be a sea of ​​flowers. The air is filled with rich floral fragrance, and bougainvillea of ​​various colors is blooming unscrupulously, which is very pleasing to the eye. There are still many undeveloped areas in the botanical garden, which are also wild and interesting. In short, it is highly recommended.
