MINHANG'S first botanic garden opened to the public recently on the Minhang campus of Jiao Tong University, offering visitors the chance to see more than 1,000 varieties of plants from around the world.
Stepping into the garden, visitors will feel they are entering a flora fantasy land. The 55,000-square-meter garden contains begonias, peach blossoms, bonsai, trees, rare herbs and aquatic plants. Admission is free.
The garden is set in a park-like setting where landscape architects have created terrain of ponds, narrow paths, bridges, pavilions, rockeries and courtyards. The garden is near one of the university's gates at 700 Jianchuan Road.
The majority of the plants are from East China regions, especially neighboring Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, so they are well adapted to the climate, said Wu Dan, vice president of the university.
The garden took about one year to complete. Each plant bears a sign, marking its name, species and origin. Some are rare or even on the verge of extinction.
"I recognized over 10 species of maple trees after touring the site," said Huang Hui, a visitor who expressed great delight with the garden.
The site will provide students and faculties from the schools of agriculture and biology with a working laboratory, said Wu.
