[2025 Nanning Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanning Botanical Garden (Updated Apr)

This is the second time I came to Qingxiu Mountain within a year. It happened to be the chrysanthemum exhibition, and it was really a feast for my eyes! Various patterns are arranged with chrysanthemums in the middle of a huge circular lawn. Looking down on the entire chrysanthemum exhibition is like a grand event with many stars surrounding the moon. There are theme exhibitions one after another around it, which are colorful and extremely enchanting! There is also an exhibition of rare chrysanthemums in the central corridor, and there are winding paths and ponds dotted around, so it’s a scene at every step! The Shade Botanical Garden is a very distinctive ecological landscape garden. The regular spraying of water mist between the high and low plants makes people feel very comfortable! Green plants grow abundantly here, and aquatic plants live proudly in the water, peaceful and serene! Beautiful! A place worth visiting!

The Nanning Botanical Garden is huge, and I didn't even finish exploring it after two visits. The garden is divided into five sections: the Bromeliad Garden, the Foliage Garden, the Fern Garden, the Comprehensive Garden, and the Science Popularization Activity Area. As soon as you enter, you are surrounded by greenery and flowers, which is a unique and pleasant experience. Your mood will instantly improve when you come here! The scenery in each section is different. Enter through the west gate to see the Chrysanthemum Exhibition, the Monument to the Anti-Japanese Martyrs of the Guangxi Student Army, the Guanyin Zen Temple, and Peach Blossom Island. Take a deep breath on the viewing platform, enjoy a bird's-eye view of Nanning, and savor the moment! 🚉Transportation: Qingxiu Mountain Station, Metro Line 3 Admission: CNY 20, sightseeing bus not included 📝Tips: 1. Wear sunscreen 2. Bring water and snacks 3. Wear comfortable shoes
