Stepping into this enchanted park, one is immediately whisked away to an exquisite blend of art, history, and nature. The crown jewel? The Bonsai and Penjing Museum, a true testament to the patience and artistry of horticultural finesse. Each bonsai and penjing tells a story, with their gnarled branches and delicate leaves whispering tales of ages past and the dedicated hands that molded them.
But just as you're immersing yourself in this miniature wonderland, the grandeur of regal columns beckons. Standing tall and majestic, these columns are not mere structures but relics from the capital. Their stately presence amidst the verdant surroundings creates a surreal blend of the ancient and the natural, evoking a sense of timelessness.
In every nook and corner, the park harmoniously marries nature's raw beauty with the indelible marks of human craftsmanship. A visit to this park isn't just a walk; it's an odyssey that traverses through time, art, and nature's finest spectacles. Highly recommended for both the casual visitor and the discerning connoisseur.
Beautiful exhibition space for the arboretum's stunning bonsai collection. Each tree is more interesting than the last. Many have been undergoing their bonsai "training" for close to a century. It gets hot in the conservatory so try to go on a cool day and bring water.
This place is stunningly beautiful. Well manicured bonsai trees and gardens.
