I've been to Taiyuan at least three times, and each time I discover new and fun places. During the recent Qingming Festival, we chose to visit Taiyuan again, among Taiyuan, Yi County, Xingtai, and Handan. This time, my brother wanted to see the Taiyuan Botanical Garden, which has an entry fee of 50 RMB. We explored a corner of the botanical garden and didn't see many impressive old trees. Also, Taiyuan's altitude is a bit higher, so the temperature wasn't quite right, and not many flowers were in bloom. As a result, there weren't many people wandering around the edges of the botanical garden. Most people were gathered in the three greenhouses and at the sightseeing elevator—where the 50 RMB experience is concentrated! In the hour before closing after sunset, the line for the sightseeing elevator was dozens of meters long. Personally, I didn't find it very amazing, and it was crowded. When buying tickets, we also got a combo ticket for a theater performance. Unexpectedly, the 10 RMB performance felt like it was worth 50 RMB. Qiqi kept excitedly shouting, "Wow, this is so wonderful! This is the first time I've seen a theater performance, it's so good..." This time, we also made impromptu visits to the Twin Pagoda Temple and Taiyuan Ancient County, a large park and a newly built ancient attraction. Both were very uncrowded! And this was during the Qingming holiday, when everyone goes out for spring outings! Yongzuo Temple, also known as Twin Pagoda Temple, has been expanded into the Twin Pagoda Park, which is free to enter. The Twin Pagoda Museum inside charges admission. Taiyuan Ancient County is very large, and you could easily spend a day there. Perhaps there are too many places to visit in Taiyuan, or maybe the newly built ancient county doesn't have much appeal, but there were very few visitors. Except for the main street, the alleys were empty and a bit deserted. We went there for the Jinyang Archaeological Museum, and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The Jinyang Archaeological Museum is located near the north gate of the ancient county. The exhibition tells the 2,500-year history of Jinyang Ancient City (ancient Taiyuan). The exhibition is well-organized, and the 3D dome effect makes you feel like you're there. The staff in the exhibition hall were also very helpful. Knowing that we had originally planned to visit the Northern Qi Mural Museum but couldn't get a reservation, they said that no reservation was needed and we could enter on the spot. The curator there especially welcomes guests who come from afar. Well, time is limited, so we'll visit Taiyuan again next time. I've been to Taiyuan at least three times, and each time I go to different places. Based on the attractions I've visited, here's a simple Taiyuan travel guide: Attractions: 1. The Shanxi Museum, Shanxi Museum of Natural History, and China Coal Museum are not far from each other, but because there is a lot to see, you can plan for 2 days. 2. Jinci Temple, Taiyuan Botanical Garden, and Taiyuan Ancient County are relatively close to each other, all located in the southwest corner of Taiyuan, and you can plan for 2 days. 3. Twin Pagoda Park and Taiyuan Northern Qi Mural Museum are close to each other, and you can plan for 1 day. 4. Taiyuan Art Museum, Taiyuan Museum, Shanxi Science and Technology Museum, and the library are all next to each other, and you can plan for 1 day. In addition, the Jin Merchant Museum, Chunyang Palace, Stele Forest Park, Mengshan Scenic Area, Longshan Scenic Area, and Juweishan Mountain are on my list, and I'll visit them when I have the chance in the future. Accommodation: Accommodation is cheap. We almost always stay in the city center, and chain hotels are only a little over 100 RMB. I feel that it's very cost-effective for a provincial capital city. Travel Time: It takes about 3 hours to drive from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, and about 2 hours by train. It's a distance that can be covered in a two-day weekend trip. The above is for your reference.

When the sunlight shines down, the tropical plants create a play of light and shadow. Every step is full of surprises. 🍃Desert Plant Greenhouse: This is a "future fortress" in the desert, with a super cool inclined cantilever structure! The greenhouse collects desert plants from all over the world. Giant cactus clusters, taller than people, are neatly arranged and look particularly spectacular in the sun. Each plant shows its tenacious vitality. 🍃Four Seasons Flower Greenhouse: A year-round flower feast, it is simply a romantic fairy tale world! The flowers compete with each other for beauty here. Cherry blossoms are like snow in spring, hydrangeas bloom in summer, chrysanthemums stand proudly in autumn, and amaryllis blooms in winter. No matter when you come, you can encounter a visual feast. 🔷It takes about 2 hours to visit the three greenhouses. After visiting the flower greenhouse, you can take a break by the lake and wait for the night to fall 🌠 🔷Around 19:30, the three botanical greenhouses and the starry sky roof begin to light up (subject to actual conditions), which is really beautiful and romantic!

Here are some great places to enjoy flowers in April: Figures 1-3: Zhengzhou People's Park. The Chinese roses here are stunning! They grow taller than a person, and the flowers are incredibly vibrant. They are the most beautiful Chinese roses I've ever seen! Figures 4-6: Zhengzhou Zijingshan Park. The peonies are elegant and luxurious, and they should be in full bloom from early to mid-April. Figures 7-9: Changzhi Zhangzehu National Urban Wetland Park. This park is huge, and the cherry blossoms are at their peak in mid-April. Their beauty is breathtaking! Figures 10-12: Taiyuan Botanical Garden. The double-flowered peach blossoms resemble cherry blossoms, but they have a unique beauty reminiscent of traditional Chinese paintings. Meanwhile, peach trees in the south have already borne fruit. Figures 13-15: Taiyuan Fenhe Scenic Area. The golden forsythia and the light pink Xifu Begonia compete in beauty, creating a spectacular sight! Figures 16-20: Taiyuan Longtan Park. This is a great place to admire crabapples and cherry blossoms. I saw the most beautiful crabapples here! The white ones are fresh, and the pink ones are delicate, each with its own charm. April is the perfect time for flower viewing in northern China, with pleasant weather. Plan your trip now!

| Saved by a panoramic elevator. Family, I'm back to share my travel adventures! This time I came to the Taiyuan Botanical Garden. I thought it was just an ordinary botanical garden, but I was completely amazed by a panoramic elevator, which directly started a dream trip 🚀 🌳Opening hours: The botanical garden is open from 9am to 5pm. Remember to plan your time in advance and try to go early to avoid peak crowds, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and take beautiful photos without anyone stealing the spotlight 📸 🚗Directions: I took the bus there, and there are several bus routes that go directly, which is super convenient. If you drive, the parking lot is large and the parking fee is reasonable. However, if it's a weekend or holiday, it is still recommended to start early, otherwise finding a parking space may be a little troublesome. 🌟Highlights: As soon as I entered the botanical garden, I was greeted by greenery, various exotic flowers and plants, as if I had entered a plant kingdom 🌱 But what excited me most was the panoramic elevator! As the elevator slowly rises, you can see the panoramic view of the botanical garden through the glass. The lush plants, winding paths, and distant mountains are simply breathtaking 🤩 After reaching the top floor, there is also an observation deck with a super wide view, which can overlook the entire park in 360 degrees. That feeling is really shocking! In addition to the panoramic elevator, there are several greenhouses in the botanical garden: the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion, the Desert Botanical Pavilion, and the Rare Botanical Pavilion. Each pavilion is like a separate small world 🌍 In the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion, you feel like you are in a mysterious tropical rainforest, with tall trees, dense vines, and various tropical plants whose names you can't name. The sound of gurgling water in your ears is like hearing the heartbeat of nature. The Desert Botanical Pavilion is another scene. Cacti and succulents of various shapes exude a unique charm under the blazing lights. 📸Photo spots: The botanical garden is full of photo spots! The panoramic elevator is definitely a must-see. Standing in the elevator, with the plants outside as the background, you can take a blockbuster with a casual shot. The viewing platform is also very good. The blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and green mountains look good no matter how you shoot them. Also, in each greenhouse, plants of different styles are the best backdrop. Put on a beautiful dress and take atmospheric photos in minutes. By the way, there are also some art installations in the park, which are creatively combined with plants, and taking pictures is super impressive. 🍔Food recommendations: After strolling around, it's time to eat something delicious to replenish your energy! There are several restaurants in the botanical garden that offer a variety of light meals and snacks, which taste pretty good. My favorite is their sandwiches 🥪 They are super filling, with fresh vegetables and delicious ham, and one bite is super satisfying. There is also fruit salad, a variety of fresh fruits, drizzled with yogurt, refreshing and relieving greasiness. If you don't want to eat in the park, you can also bring some snacks and find a lawn for a pleasant picnic! 💡Tips: 1. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as the park is large and you have to walk a lot. 2. Bring sunscreen, especially in summer, the sun is still very strong. 3. You can buy tickets online in advance to save some time. The Taiyuan Botanical Garden really gave me too many surprises. A panoramic elevator makes this already beautiful place even more dreamy. Whether you are a plant lover or a fan of taking photos, don't miss it! Trust me, you will fall in love with it when you come here 💖

Taiyuan is less than 3 hours' drive from Beijing, making it the best choice for a weekend trip. Taiyuan is an important central city in central China, a national historical and cultural city, a national comprehensive transportation hub city, and an advanced manufacturing base in North China. In ancient times, it belonged to Jizhou, which is one of the traditional nine provinces of China and the first of the nine provinces. It has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere and rich historical and cultural heritage. I took the train at around 7 a.m. on Saturday and arrived in Taiyuan at 10 a.m. I first checked in at the thousand-year-old street, Gulou Street, tried the Old Taiyuan Restaurant, and drank coal briquette coffee. In the afternoon, I visited the Shanxi Provincial Museum as I had made an appointment. After leaving the museum, I went to the famous botanical garden and checked in at the famous elevator. In the evening, I tried the special steamed buns and Guanfen Bistro. Go to Jin Temple on Sunday morning, take the train in the afternoon, and return to Beijing in the evening.

I can't believe this is the aesthetic of a botanical garden! As soon as you enter, you can see a space station-like starry elevator, and a hemispherical greenhouse. The lake is full of koi, mandarin ducks, ducks, and swans. —— 📍Taiyuan Botanical Garden 🎫 Tickets: 50 yuan in peak season, 30 yuan in off-season, free for teachers with a teacher's certificate. 🚗 Transportation: Convenient by car or taxi, 🚌 take bus No. 308/310 to Tangcheng Street, Jinyang Avenue. 🔸 Plant viewing route: Tropical Rainforest Pavilion - Butterfly Pavilion - Sand Plant Pavilion - Themed Flower Pavilion - Insect Pavilion —— 💡 Tips for visiting: 1️⃣ It is recommended to enter the park around 4 pm and spend 2-3 hours. Take photos of the lake (koi, mandarin ducks, ducks, and swans) at around 5 pm when the sun sets. 2️⃣ The starry elevator's lighting time is based on the sunset time, which is around 18:00 recently. The blue hour is stunning, but there are a lot of people. If there are few people, you can wait until after 19:30, when there are almost no people. (Compare Figure 2 and Figure 3), please note that the starry elevator will close after 20:00, but it will be determined according to the actual situation! 3️⃣ Each plant pavilion is based on different climate temperatures and humidity. The temperature difference and humidity will cause the equipment to fog up. 4️⃣ There are restaurants, luggage storage, and sightseeing cars in the botanical garden. 5️⃣ Be sure to bring an ultra-wide-angle lens, plus a star mirror or black soft.

Taiyuan Botanical Garden is the first ecological botanical garden in Taiyuan, integrating horticultural appreciation and cultural tourism. There are three exhibition greenhouses with climate control systems to create a suitable environment for plants. The glass curtain walls look like three large umbrellas, protecting the plants inside. Unlike Xiamen Botanical Garden, the tropical plants, desert plants, and seasonal plants are regulated by greenhouses. Upon entering the botanical garden, you will see the Natural Science Museum at the entrance. The Cao Tianwen Insect Specimen Museum introduces different types of insects, including crustaceans, butterflies, and moths from different regions worldwide. The insects are gathered here, including human-faced insects, colorful moths, and locusts. There are mantises, dead leaf mantises, the most ferocious beetles, and the largest dung beetles in the world. The different colors on the crustaceans' bodies emit bright light, including gold, green, and colorful. The exquisite insect specimens are like works of art. The butterflies are also colorful, including white, yellow, colorful, and owl-like butterflies. After leaving the Insect Museum, you will step onto the 60-meter-long futuristic time elevator, the first attraction after entering the garden. As the elevator slowly rises, you will see the whole view of the botanical garden. It is best to visit here after 4 pm when the lights are bright, the stars are shining, and the botanical garden is dazzling. When you enter the tropical greenhouse, the warm and humid air will greet you, and the tropical plants are lush, in stark contrast to the cold outside. There are coconut trees, banana trees, vine plants, and tropical flowers that you can't name. There are many tourists here, and there are also rockeries. Exploring the plants in the tree holes is the greatest fun. In the desert greenhouse, cacti, cactus balls, and different desert plants grow tenaciously here. The desert plants are still full of vitality, but not as diverse as those in Xiamen Botanical Garden. Finally, you will enter the seasonal greenhouse, where various flowers bloom beautifully in red, white, yellow, orange, etc. There are the most people taking photos here, and there is an artificial waterfall, giving people the illusion of being in Guizhou. There is also an azalea exhibition at the exit of the exhibition hall, which explains the patterns of ancient clothing. The reference of different flowers and patterns takes aesthetics to a new height. After leaving the greenhouse, I walked to the bonsai exhibition area, a world of strange stones and greenery. It is very quiet here, giving people deep thoughts in the tranquility.

Locals don't even know‼️ Taiyuan Botanical Garden is truly beautiful It's the romance of a starry sky Especially at dusk I would call it The pinnacle of a dreamy botanical garden 🔸As a native of Taiyuan, my first visit to Jinyang Lake was for a fireworks show, and my first visit to the ancient county town was after the movie 'Full River Red'🔥, but I had never been to the Taiyuan Botanical Garden. Although I saw it online, the distance and doubts about its authenticity always deterred me. 🔸During this holiday, I went to the botanical garden with a friend and was amazed! Note‼️ Be sure to wear a beautiful dress, and it's recommended to go in the afternoon. Visit the botanical garden + take photos📷 with the popular elevator, super photogenic! You can take a bus🚌 or Di🚕; tickets can be booked online or bought on-site, and you can enter at specific times. The staff are super nice. 🌟When you enter the botanical garden hall, you'll be attracted by some plants inside. Follow the route, and you'll see the three main halls from afar, each housing different types of plants. There are many ducks🦆 and swans🦢 by the lake, and it's really beautiful under the sunset glow! You can take some silhouette photos! 🌟In the evening, when the lights come on, it feels totally worth it. There will be many people at the elevator at first, but you can get a better view of the three halls from the rooftop. You can take stunning photos from different angles of the buildings. 🌟Besides learning about various types of plants, Taiyuan Botanical Garden🌳 also offers architectural landscape photography and beautiful scenery to capture. Watching the elevator go up and down, hearing the laughter of tourists, and seeing the twinkling stars on both sides is truly stunning! There are fewer tourists later in the evening, making it the perfect time to take the photos of a lifetime.

I went from Jinci to the Botanical Garden, which is very close, and took a taxi via Huaxiaozhu. The price was about 10 yuan. August 28, 2024 Entered the garden around 4 PM There were quite a lot of people, and the weather was quite hot. My suggestion is to visit the three pavilions first. However, relatively speaking, the first and third pavilions are somewhat similar. But the third pavilion is very small, mainly featuring rare plants, but they don't look very different. As for the second pavilion, it is currently under renovation, featuring desert-type tropical plants. After finishing the tour, I was really tired. There is a restaurant downstairs where you can eat, but the prices are relatively high. I suggest bringing some food yourself. After the tour, go up the spiral staircase above the restaurant. There is a large lawn. It's quite nice to sit there and take pictures when the sun is about to set. While waiting for the lights to come on, I took the sightseeing car around 7 PM, and the tour lasted about half an hour. There are two types of cars, one is a sightseeing car, and the other is a small train. The small train does not stop, while the sightseeing car stops and allows you to get on and off at various points. Then I took a big circle, mainly visiting the other scattered pavilions in the botanical garden, but you don't need to look very closely. The sightseeing car stops at the zoo, where you can feed small animals and ride horses. There are relatively few animals. The second stop is the lookout tower shown in picture 1. The timing was perfect, so I could see some night views. When I went back, it was already dark, so I managed to take picture 2. I left around 8 PM. It was a bit difficult to get a taxi. So we decided to go to a farther place, where the drivers were more likely to accept the ride, and went directly to Zhonglou Street, which cost about 32 yuan. My suggestion is that after leaving the botanical garden, it is relatively easier to get a taxi if you walk to the opposite side of the road.

🌞 Leisurely Stroll on an Autumn Afternoon On a cool autumn day, choosing to visit Taiyuan Botanical Garden in the afternoon is an ideal way to experience the beauty of nature. During this garden tour, we did not enter the indoor pavilions but instead enjoyed the outdoor autumn scenery, unexpectedly capturing some stunning photos📸. The weather was clear with a gentle breeze, making it particularly comfortable. However, the temperature difference in Taiyuan during autumn is significant, so it is wise to bring a jacket🧥. 🚶 Easy Entry and Convenient Parking We chose to enter the garden around 4:30 PM, just in time to avoid the peak crowd (entry stops after 6:00 PM⛔). The ticket price is 50 yuan, with more favorable prices during the off-season (only 30 yuan from November to March, children enjoy half-price, and teachers with a qualification certificate enter for free🆓). Parking is very convenient, with four parking lots available in the botanical garden. It is recommended to go directly to Parking Lot 4 to avoid congested exits🚗. 🍂 Comfortable In-Garden Strolling Route After entering the garden, you can choose to take a tour bus (10 yuan/person), with tickets including the service of getting on and off at intermediate stops. It is recommended to get off at the third stop, the viewing platform, to enjoy the high-altitude scenery and continue walking to the fairy-like small waterfall. If you are with children, you can get off at the previous stop, the Pet Paradise, to let the kids interact with the animals🐑. The scenery and fresh air at the viewing platform are very pleasant, making it a great place for photos📷. 🌷 Autumn Scenery and Leisurely Camping Continue walking to the Horticultural Town. Although there are more people, the tulip fields🌷 are still magnificent and splendid. The park is spacious, making it perfect for bringing a small blanket to quietly enjoy the autumn sunshine on the grass☀. As the sun sets, resting on the grass with a cool breeze feels like time has slowed down. This leisurely time is highly recommended with five stars✨. 🌙 Stunning Night Views and Romantic Moments As night falls, the night view of the botanical garden is breathtaking. Around 7:20 PM, the night lights in the distant woods gradually light up, making it feel like entering a fairy tale world🌌. Especially when the 'Time Elevator' lights up, everyone gasps in amazement. It feels like being in a dreamlike realm where a science museum and botanical garden intertwine, so beautiful it leaves you speechless. If a few stars✨ were sprinkled in the sky, the scene would be even more unforgettable.

The crystal-clear domes gently rest by the water's edge, like bubbles that have opened up, pure and powerful.🐱 🌺🌺Enter through the east gate directly to the reptile house and the botanical science museum, and then you can go to the three spheres which are the tropical rainforest, the xerophytic plant museum, and the flower pavilion.🌷 🌕🌕The tropical rainforest and the xerophytic plant museum are the most worth visiting, and they are also the best spots for taking photos. The lush vines are neatly arranged, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants that bloom in clusters, and the jungle that blocks out the sun is always humid and filled with a fairy-like aura, with the sounds of insects and birds, and ancient trees stretching out comfortably.
