|A great place for flower viewing, walking children, and camping. Chengdu Botanical Garden covers an area of 42 hectares (630 mu). The terrain in the park is gentle slopes and shallow hills, long from east to west and narrow from north to south, shaped like a fish ridge. The highest elevation is 575 meters, and the lowest is 500 meters. The soil is sticky yellow soil. After more than 40 years of construction and development, it now has a collection of more than 5,600 living plants and 16 specialized gardens, such as the Rare Garden, the Viburnum Garden, and the City Flower (Hibiscus) Garden.
