Leiden Botanical Garden, Dutch: Hortus botanicus Leiden is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands and one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. It is located in the southwest corner of the historical center of Leiden City, South Holland Province, between the academic building and Leiden Observatory.

After entering the gate of Leiden University, the first sight of Hortus botanicus is called Hotus Botanical Garden, also known as Leiden Botanical Garden. This botanical garden has great significance for the Netherlands, which is the birthplace of Dutch tulips. The Botanical Garden was built in 1590 and has a history of more than 400 years. It was originally built for the study of botany and medicine. It is the earliest botanical garden in the Netherlands for the purpose of botanical research. The founder of the botanical garden, Carlos Luxeus (Carolus Clusius, 1526-1609), a famous botanist and doctor in Europe, French, came to Leiden University as a professor in 1593 and became the first director of the botanical garden. In 1592, an Austrian ambassador living in Turkey (Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke) gave Karolus some tulip seeds on his deathbed, and he was brought to Leiden, and began to cultivate research in the botanical garden, which later produced many different varieties of pattern. In addition to tulips, he studied corn, tomatoes, potatoes and tobacco brought from the New World. With the continuous cultivation and rapid promotion of tulips, the Netherlands became a country of tulips, although it also experienced a process from madness to bubble (1637), but when a tulip is mentioned, most people will associate the Netherlands, not Persian, Turkish and Xinjiang. The Dutch Museum Pass can enter this glass greenhouse, but unfortunately I have no feeling for plants and flowers at all, just look at it.

The Leiden Botanical Garden is a must, because this is one of the world's oldest botanical gardens, built in the 16th century, more than 500 years from now, the botanical garden flowers are mainly tulips, there are colorful varieties of tulips.

The tulips in the garden are very varied, colorful and beautiful, there is a large greenhouse is very good, inside the small lake and wooden bridge, and tropical plants.
