Shanghai Botanical Gardens Review

Spread over 200 acres, the garden has separate areas for peonies and roses, azaleas, osmanthus, bamboo and orchids, and medicinal plants. Its Penjing Garden is among the world's best. Penjing translates as "pot scenery," and describes the Chinese art of creating a miniature landscape in a container. The Chinese Cymbidium Garden has more than 300 varieties on bonsai. Within the Grand Conservatory are towering palms and more than 3,500 varieties of tropical plants.
