A Summer Adventure in a Secret Garden Paradise - A Hidden Gem That 99% of Locals Don't Know About!



🚗 Just 30 minutes from Jiefangbei by car
I rubbed my eyes and checked three times -
Is this really Chongqing?!
This magical 8D mountain city actually hides a real-life "Alice in Wonderland"!

👉 Pass through the vine-covered archway
Giant cacti suddenly catch your eye
In Chongqing's scorching 40℃ summer
An 18℃ misty coolness fills the glass pyramid
Behind the water curtain cave in the tropical rainforest
Dancing pitcher plants await
Every step feels like walking through a Studio Ghibli storyboard

🌸 The outdoor garden is even more spectacular
A sea of hydrangeas forms Monet's palette
Japanese late-blooming cherry blossoms embrace Chongqing's golden trumpet trees
Standing under an 800-year-old crape myrtle
Suddenly understanding Bai Juyi's poem "A tree's dense shade captures true beauty"

🌌 The most magical moment comes at dusk
Evening breeze from Nanshan carries the lights of two rivers
Standing at the camphor forest viewing deck
The glittering Peninsula constellation on the left
Fireflies dancing in Nanshan depths on the right
Finally understanding what Chongqing locals mean by "living like immortals"

📸 Best photo spots revealed:
1️⃣ Desert House spiral staircase (wide-angle upward shot for alien planet vibes)
2️⃣ Rose maze at 4pm for perfect lighting (bring some balloon flowers for better shots)
3️⃣ Diagonal composition at Plum Garden viewing deck (capture Hongyadong floating above the flower sea)

⚠️ Travel tips:
▫️Greenhouse area is less crowded with perfect lighting before 10:00
▪️Wear light colors! The plant background is very lush
▫️Water at the mountain foot costs 1/3 of the summit price
🎫 Ticket tip: Half-price with student ID and teacher ID (greenhouse combo ticket at 48 is worth it)

💡 In-depth experience:
Join the night tour (Friday nights only)
Watch water lilies slowly close under flashlight
Listen to gardeners tell stories of 30-year-old trees coming back to life
Chongqing's magic finds its tangible explanation here

While tourists crowd Hongyadong to see trains passing through buildings
Local foodies have already escaped to this green sanctuary
In the mountain city's most magical botanical kingdom
I've discovered the 108th way to unlock Chongqing's charm

📍 Location: Nanshan Botanical Garden (Greenhouse area is a must-visit!)
🚌 Take Bus 384 directly/taxi to "Botanical Garden Main Entrance"
