A few years ago, walking along the city wall, there was a clear lake-Qianhu at the corner of the city wall. The Qianhu in front of you has the distant view of the rolling mountain range-Zhongshan Mountain. The undulating mountains, undulating green belts, and sparkling lake surfaces in the picture have a quiet beauty that combines dynamic and static. Several crystal clear shell-like buildings in the green trees between the lake and Zhongshan aroused my curiosity. After checking the map, I realized that it was the flower greenhouse in Zhongshan Botanical Garden. At this time, I learned that the Zhongshan Botanical Garden had been expanded. These distinctive buildings on the north side of Qianhu were the southern garden of the Botanical Garden that had been under construction since 1999 and opened to the public on the National Day in 2007. The Botanical Garden was a place where we often played when our children were young. The children's kindergarten classmates and mothers work in the Botanical Garden, so we often take the children to play in the Botanical Garden, now called the North Garden of the Botanical Garden. There was no Nanyuan before. As the children grew up, we stopped going to the botanical garden. If it weren't for the distance from the city wall, you wouldn't have known that the Botanical Garden has a South Garden. I want to go to Nanyuan sometime to have a look at the new ones. Time will slip by without realizing it. I have had this idea for a few years.

I came to the Botanical Garden one afternoon during this year's Qingming Festival holiday. After seeing the tulips in season at this time, I walked along the road signs in the Botanical Garden to the Tropical Botanical Palace with beautiful scenery.

In fact, we can find the Tropical Botanical Palace without road signs, because this building is huge and unique, and it feels like it can be seen in any corner of the Botanical Garden.

April Botanical Garden is a world of tulips. There are large areas of colorful tulips that you can see as soon as you enter the garden, there are also hot patches on the hills, and there are also tulips that are spread in a carpet shape around a tree, or around the lake in the wind, or accompanied by beautiful sidewalks. Long rolls, or sporadic interspersed among the vegetation.

The square on the north side of the Tropical Plant Palace is colorful. Tulips in low places, cherry blossoms in trees, shrubs, and trees are scattered in high and low places, and the content is rich.

Accompanied by the shadows of flowers and smelling the fragrance of flowers, they arrived in front of the building. The family jumping on the rope in the square was happy.

Entering the Botanical Palace, you will find a cluster of flowers on one side, and various flowers bloom here.

The plant scenery in the atrium is clearly layered and rich in content.

The text briefly introduces that the Tropical Botanical Palace is divided into three major exhibition areas, collecting more than 2000 species of rare plants. The exhibition themes are "Plant Wonders" and "Plants and Humanity."

I first chose the tropical rainforest plant area on the right to visit.

Because tropical plants are tall and lush, the space of this museum is very high to accommodate the growth of these plants.

Xiaojing meandered in the area led us all the way around. Various tropical plants grow as much as possible in the area, both horizontally and vertically.

Artificial hills are also covered with various vegetation, and bamboo pavilions are built on the hills for tourists to rest.

Red-tailed fish sway in the water features in the area.

Isn't it a bit strange that you can experience the wonderful wonders of the tropical rainforest in a place like Nanjing while walking here? Tropical rainforests are full of sunshine and abundant rain, so plants are growing crazily. Thick roots seem to fall from the sky and cannot be seen at a glance.

Ficus rhododendron

Ficus indica

The "strangulation phenomenon" common in tropical rainforests.

Various vines hang and twist to form a hanging garden.

The artificial tropical rainforest in the glass house provides a suitable temperature for tropical plants to grow in such an environment. However, compared with the real tropical rainforest, the humidity of the air here is still far from that of the natural tropical rainforest. So if you want to truly feel the tropical rainforest, you should go for a walk in the tropical rainforest in nature and feel the humidity, high heat, and hot and dripping feeling of the real tropical rainforest. However, it is a very happy thing to have such a place in Nanjing where we can get a sneak peek at the plants of the tropical rainforest.

Walking out of the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion on the right and returning to the lobby, he lifted his feet to the second floor, where a lotus exhibition was being held.

Lotus flowers are planted in the big vat, but basically only lotus leaves. Now more and better things in this exhibition hall are orchids.

Orchids of all colors smile at us.

Colorful, colorful beauty

Leaving the orchid exhibition, we came to the tropical economic plant area.

The colorful tropical flowers, the tall and straight king brown trees, and the swaying betel nuts give people a tropical flavor.

The glass greenhouse closest to the lake is a lovely succulent and succulent botanical garden. The plants here are more suitable for growing in tropical arid and semi-arid areas. The temperature in the greenhouse is also significantly higher than the other two areas.

The vegetation of the cactus family is also so rich and diverse, spherical, stick, column, palm shape...

The huge cactus attracted many people to take photos here

Baimaozhang

This lovely cactus family plant is called Jinhuang, because it can produce yellow flowers, so it has the name Jinhuang.

What rich shapes

Such a tall immortal stick

The flowers are delicate and beautiful

The cactus is in bloom

Every space in the greenhouse was busy. The rich content dazzled me. I was illiterate about plants, so I could only watch the excitement.

The plants in this area are rich, beautiful and magical.

Walking through several huge, tall glass greenhouses in the Tropical Botanical Palace, I experienced tropical rainforests, tropical economic plants, and succulent arid and semi-arid plants. These various tropical plants are gathered together to artificially create a tropical rainforest scenery here, allowing us to feel the diverse forms of tropical vegetation in cities like Nanjing. Help.

Leave the glass greenhouse, walk towards the crescent embankment with the cool wind of Qianhu, and continue to enjoy the beauty of nature in the botanical garden.
