The largest botanical garden in East China, where forests and fields coexist harmoniously with the beautiful lakeshore scenery

Who is the largest botanical garden in the six provinces and one city of East China? Some say it is the Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, while others say it is the Yiwu Botanical Garden. Chenshan Botanical Garden covers an area of 207 hectares, whereas Yiwu Botanical Garden spans 840 hectares. In terms of area, the crown of "the largest botanical garden in East China" undoubtedly goes to Yiwu, Zhejiang. Although Yiwu is only a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jinhua, its urban development scale exceeds many prefecture-level cities. According to the heat map, the urban area of Yiwu is significantly larger than that of Jinhua. It is no wonder that Yiwu has the largest botanical garden in East China. Yiwu Botanical Garden is located in the northwest of Yiwu City. Inside the garden, forests and fields depend on each other, and the lakeshore scenery is integrated. An outer ring ecological greenway, over 10 kilometers long, connects Jianhu Lake, Hongqi Lake, Xingfu Lake, and various large and small mountain ponds. Along the way, there are characteristic landscapes such as the Flower Valley Terraces, Plum Garden Fun, Layers of Forest Colors, Phoenix Trees Embracing Cherry Blossoms, Lotus Wind and Osmanthus Willows, Begonia Spring Dawn, Sea of Flowers and Rosy Clouds, Colorful Forest Green Hills, Scholar Tree Pastoral, and Elm Forest Viewing Dike. Throughout the four seasons, one can enjoy large areas of plum blossoms, begonias, rapeseed flowers, cherry blossoms, roses, irises, lotus, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, and more. The botanical garden also features attractions such as the Cute Pet World, Happy Water World, Amusement Park, Scarecrow Kingdom, and Xingfu Lake International Conference Center, making it both a great place to take children and a leisurely spot for relaxation. 📍Detailed address: Yiwu Botanical Garden, Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province Opening hours: All day Ticket price: Free ⏳Time reference: Half a day
