Shanghai Botanical Garden

　　The annual "Cymbidium Exhibition" at Shanghai Botanical Garden will run from November 28 to December 15. As soon as you enter the orchid exhibition hall in the garden, you’ll be greeted by a lush expanse of greenery. The orchids on display in the hall are mainly Chinese orchids, rather than tropical varieties. Chinese orchids are delicate in color and form, with flowers that are not particularly bold—so the highlight of the "Cymbidium Exhibition" is appreciating their shape and fragrance. During the exhibition, nearly 200 varieties of orchids are on show, with over 200 pots displayed side by side for visitors to enjoy.

　　Shanghai Botanical Garden serves multiple functions including sightseeing, science education, research, production, and conservation. It has 17 public exhibition areas open to visitors, including a Medicinal Herb Garden, Magnolia Garden, Peony Garden, Azalea Garden, Rose Garden, Osmanthus Garden, Bamboo Garden, as well as a Conifer Garden, Fern Garden, and Environmental Plant Area, plus the Huang Daopo Memorial Hall.
