No, this is not Singapore! Shanghai did it better!

#shanghai Girls, I just returned from Shanghai Greenhouse Garden, and I simply have to share my emotions! It was incredible. When I saw photos of this place, I thought, "It's just like the Singapore airport, only in Shanghai!" And you know what? It's even better in person! The indoor garden with a waterfall—yes, a real waterfall!—exceeded all my expectations. The garden is located in the center of the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park, next to a lake and at the foot of Twin Mountains. The scale is simply astounding—22,000 square meters! It's one of the largest glass greenhouse gardens in China, and you can feel it. There are three themed zones inside, and each one is like a separate world. "Desert Oasis," "Cloud Forest," and "Misty Gorge"—I've been to all three, and each zone is unique! The tropical arid environment gives way to humid jungle, and then you find yourself in a bright, flower-filled space. It's like traveling through three different continents in a couple of hours! The orchids here are simply incredible – so many beautiful views, I photographed every single flower! There are literally millions of photo spots here. The play of light through the glass domes, the tropical plants, the bridges over the waterfall – Instagram is simply blown away by these shots. The only thing I forgot to take was a light t-shirt. The greenhouses get quite stuffy, especially in the tropical rainforest zone. So bring something light to change into, or just be prepared for the heat! After the flight, this place was the perfect recharge for me – it was nice to stroll, cool off among the greenery, and recharge my batteries. And there's a beautiful, large park nearby, where I continued my walk. The day was a complete success! By the way, a ticket costs only about 100 yuan (about $14), which is a steal for such a large and beautiful place. I spent almost two hours there and didn't regret it at all. Over 73,000 people have already booked tickets, so it's a popular place—and for good reason! If you're in Shanghai, this is a must-visit. Seriously, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The nature, the architecture, the atmosphere—everything is perfect. I'm already planning to go back, maybe to try those promised night tours with interactive installations—it must be magical! Iant?
