What's in Northwest City Botanical Garden?

I have been to botanical gardens in different cities. There are many tropical plants I have never seen in the botanical gardens of southern cities such as Guangzhou, Kunming and Nanning. There are still obvious differences between botanical gardens in northern cities and southern cities. After all, the climate is different, even if there is a greenhouse, there is still a difference.

Especially in northwest cities, there are far fewer kinds of botanical gardens. In winter, many plants will lose their leaves. Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, is a typical northwest city. What's in the botanical garden here? Come and get to know it with me.

Gate of Urumqi Botanical Garden

Speaking of it, I have lived in Urumqi for many years, but it is the first time to visit Urumqi Botanical Garden. I used to think that there was nothing to see in the Botanical Garden, and the ticket was only 5 yuan, which was definitely not as many as the botanical gardens in mainland cities. Until recently, there were a number of park attractions in Urumqi, including the Botanical Garden, which were free of charge. Many neighbors in our community said they would take their children to visit the botanical garden, and I also went with my family.

We went in from the main entrance of the Botanical Garden on Beijing Road, and we really don't charge tickets. The temperature is high these days, so many citizens come to visit the botanical garden and go out for a walk before it snows.

Pine trees are common plants in northern cities. There are many pine trees in Urumqi Botanical Garden in the northwest. These pine trees grow very tall and have a solemn feeling, which is particularly vibrant against the blue sky.

5438+ 10 In Urumqi, Xinjiang in the middle and late June, gold leaves became a landscape, and the trees in Urumqi Botanical Garden were tall and lush, and the blue sky became the most beautiful background for yellow leaves.

Although tickets for Urumqi Botanical Garden are free, many gardens in the Botanical Garden are closed. These gardens are all charged, but the flowers and plants in the garden have withered, and there is nothing to see, so they don't open the door. Although Urumqi, Xinjiang is a northwest city and belongs to an arid area, almost every park scenic spot in the urban area has artificial lakes. Although the artificial lake in the Botanical Garden is small, it is very unique. There is also a high-end aquatic restaurant on the island in the middle of the lake.

Ferris wheel in botanical garden

There is a huge Ferris wheel next to the artificial lake. I'm a little afraid of heights. I have never dared to ride the ferris wheel. I don't know when to experience it.

The floating restaurant in the middle of the lake looks good, but it's a pity that it is not open. This kind of open-air water restaurant with four lake views is relatively rare in Urumqi, but more common in mainland cities.

Urumqi Botanical Garden is in the downtown area, and the surrounding Beijing Road, Tianjin Road, Ergong and other places are bustling commercial areas. However, I didn't feel any noise in the botanical garden. It was very quiet.

There is a low hillside in the botanical garden overlooking the whole artificial lake. The floating restaurant on the central island of the lake is a very good place to eat. I hope the restaurant will open again next time.

There are not only ferris wheels in the botanical garden, but also other amusement facilities. I don't even think this is a botanical garden, but more like a playground.

When I first saw this sculpture, I was still wondering who it was. Later, when I saw the lettering of Compendium of Materia Medica next to me, I realized that this was a sculpture of Hua Tuo, a imperial doctor, and he was holding herbs. Hua tuo's sculpture appeared in the botanical garden, which is quite consistent. Urumqi Botanical Garden does grow a lot of herbs.

Mongolian yurts, a typical northwest grassland pasture feature, are the difference between Urumqi Botanical Garden and southern cities.
