Jinghong Tropical Botanical Garden West Zone - The pinnacle of horticulture.

The first place we visited was the west zone of the Tropical Botanical Garden. This part is located on a peninsula. The peninsula has undulating mountains and crisscrossing rivers. It is divided into many themed garden areas. Each garden area is a carefully crafted garden. The beauty of the theme plants is displayed in the most appropriate way. It can be said that each small garden is a boutique, and the entire west zone composed of these small gardens can be called the pinnacle of human horticulture. Overall, the west zone is divided into two halves, east and west, with high terrain in the east and low in the west. The eastern half is dominated by water bodies, and the western half is dominated by mountains. The water bodies in the eastern half are diverted from the Nanban River to form beautiful lakes in the garden. The lakes are dotted with large and small gardens. The north side is a garden area dominated by various flowers, extending from the lake to the mountains. The mountains are dominated by tall trees with the core of the dragon brain incense family. Under the giant trees, there are small and beautiful miniature gardens such as shade plants and rare plants. The entire west zone has a very reasonable tour route, composed of three small loops into a large loop. Friends with poor physical strength or targeted can choose their favorite garden area to take a scenic bus to visit by point, and friends with good physical strength can visit one by one along the large loop. Without walking the same route, you can visit each garden area completely. The end point is the scenic bus station to the east zone. It can be said that it is a very friendly route layout for hiking enthusiasts. I chose the route to visit one by one along the big loop. I wandered in the west zone for 5 hours without rushing. I visited from 9 am to 2 pm. I experienced a wonderful and climactic plant viewing feast. I have visited many botanical gardens and parks over the years. But only this one can do such a good job of grand scale and wonderful details, and combine them so perfectly. What's more, as a botanical garden directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Tropical Botanical Garden is not only for sightseeing, but also for scientific research tasks. Therefore, the garden's introduction to various plants is very detailed and scientific. People who like to study plants can really learn countless useful knowledge here. It is a real botanical palace. Next, I will introduce some beautiful garden areas that impressed me very much and share them with you.
