It's a cactus wonderland at Shanghai Botanical Gardens

#chinatravel Step inside the sand plant greenhouse at the Shanghai Botanical Garden and enter a desert wonderland of cacti and succulents. Home to rare giants like the towering saguaro cactus and oddball plants such as Namibia’s Welwitschia, this dry climate dome mimics deserts from around the globe. With lumpy golden barrels, spiky columns, and dramatic agaves, it’s a surprisingly lush escape, even though it’s built for the tough and resilient. #shanghaibotanicalgarden
