Autumn scenery is picturesque

I have long heard that Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden is famous, and my grandson proudly told us that they have been here many times during their kindergarten spring outing. That's why I've always had a vision complex. Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden is a comprehensive botanical garden jointly established by the municipal government, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the State Forestry Administration, covering an area of 207 hectares.

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden takes the mission of studying plants and spreading them to the public. Through the construction of unique habitats of plants, the collection, planting and landscaping of characteristic plants, it has formed rich and beautiful plant landscapes and good ecological environment with different styles, distinct seasons and different scenery steps. It provides an important place for the general public to visit, rest and plant science popularization education. It is not only a national 4A tourist attraction, Shanghai City and the national science popularization education base, but also a special science popularization venue in Shanghai City. It is one of the most important scientific research bases for plant research in China, an important platform for scientific research exchanges between China and the world, and an important window for Shanghai to show science and technology and culture to the world.

The park consists of four functional areas: central exhibition area, plant conservation area, five continents plant area and peripheral buffer area. There are 26 special gardens in the exhibition area of the center, such as Rose Garden, Xerophyte Garden, Rare Botanical Garden, Mine Garden, Aquatic Botanical Garden, Exhibition Greenhouse, Ornamental Grass Garden, Rock and Medicinal Botanical Garden and Muxi Garden.

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden is located in Sheshan Tourist Resort, Songjiang District, Shanghai City. It is very close to Songjiang University Town where we live. It takes less than half an hour to drive. My son has always wanted to invite family members in Shanghai to visit.

As soon as the National Day holiday arrives in 2018, my son will arrange the matter. He first sent out an invitation in WeChat, but there were not many responses. Because each family had important things to do during the holidays, fortunately, his father-in-law and mother-in-law quickly agreed, and his brother-in-law and his wife voluntarily agreed to drive their parents over. Even more rare is, aunt's only son, in Shanghai famous brand hospital engaged in surgery chief doctor's nephew Xiaohu couple, promised to hold less than one year old little tuanzi to play. Due to the nature of his work, he often missed large and small gatherings and group activities in the big family. We were overjoyed to be able to come this time and have the presence of the young master.

October 4 was a crisp autumn day with a clear blue sky. The weather was very comfortable and pleasant. In advance on the Internet to understand that Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden Gate 2 relatively few people. We meet here to enter.

Maybe it's professional reasons. Xiaohu considered the problem carefully and acted in a resolute manner. He was worried about going out late and getting stuck in traffic. Therefore, he went out at 7:00 a.m. and arrived at 8:30 a.m. to view the exhibition greenhouse. We also arrived at gate number two before nine o'clock. The son's family of four spread a straw mat on the lawn, leaving behind to wait for his parents-in-law and sister-in-law. My wife and I can't wait to enter the exhibition greenhouse to watch.

The greenhouse is located in Gate 2 of the northeast corner of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. The greenhouse has a unique architectural form. It adopts an arc-shaped large-span aluminum alloy single-layer lattice shell structure, covered with triangular laminated glass, light and transparent. The automatic climate control system adopted by the exhibition greenhouse creates a suitable growth environment for plants from all over the world, and becomes an important facility for scientific research, popular science education, horticulture exhibition and biodiversity protection in Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden.

The exhibition greenhouse is composed of three single greenhouses, including Tropical Flower and Fruit Pavilion, Sand Plant Pavilion and Rare Plant Pavilion, with a total area of 12608 square meters. Among them, the Tropical Flower and Fruit Pavilion consists of a style garden, a palm square and an economic plant area; the Sand Plant Pavilion collects and displays sand plants from Australia, Africa and America; and the Rare Plant Pavilion collects and displays strange types of plant survival and evolution, such as tropical rain forest phenomena, carnivorous plants, cycads, ferns, orchids and pineapples, etc. The whole greenhouse group is cleverly planned and the landscape is unique, which has become an unforgettable scenic spot in Shanghai.

As we had to meet everyone at the door, we could only glance and walk around. I met my parents when I left the house at 9:30. under the leadership of his son. We're a family of four generations. The botanical garden activities officially began.

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden Mine Garden is one of the important scenic spots of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden. It is located in the northwest corner of Chenshan Botanical Garden. The original mine site belongs to waterfall, natural moat, boardwalk, water curtain cave and other contents closely combined with natural terrain, deepening people's understanding of nature. The use of the status quo of the mountain crepe lines, deep carving, so that it has the shape of Chinese landscape painting and artistic conception. Mine Garden highlights the restored garden theme and is the premier horticultural garden in the country.

Mine garden has excellent ornamental characteristics of trees, low shrubs and herbs, including Rosaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Malvaceae, Verbenaceae, Malvaceae, Compositae and other more than 1000 species of plants.

Although my father-in-law is ninety-two years old, he is in good spirits and has a great interest in plants. We worried that he was too tired for a long walk. Some highland and remote scenic spots asked for his opinion. He would not hesitate to say: It is not easy to come once. Don't leave a scenic spot behind. It was my greatest wish to make the old man happy. Fortunately, my brother-in-law took good care of me along the way. She held an umbrella for me and supported my father-in-law. We were deeply touched by his careful explanation of the ecological characteristics and origins of different plants, identifying species and introducing them to him.

Botanical garden is too big, thousands of plant species from all over the world, dizzying, it is not easy to manage such a large place, it takes a whole day to walk around, there are small bridges, waterfalls, rockeries and cliff caves, ponds, small fish, large lawns, sunflowers. Black swans, etc., plus high-simulation animals and birds produced by modern scientific and technological means. Clearly create a gorgeous natural and ideal perfect combination of the dream world.
