Guizhou Botanical Garden is absolutely perfect. I love this botanical garden, it's so beautiful!

▪️The chrysanthemum exhibition mostly features artificial landscapes and various chrysanthemum shapes. The flowers themselves didn't particularly amaze me, but this year's set design is quite innovative, incorporating Hangzhou's city features, such as the Ten Scenes of West Lake, City Balcony, and Fuyi Warehouse. The Silk Road Fairytale section was especially eye-catching.

▪️The chrysanthemums along the road from the north gate and the Yuquan Fish Leaping bonsai area haven't fully bloomed yet. It will take a few more days. The large shaped chrysanthemums are almost in full bloom.

▪️Most visitors are middle-aged and elderly people, with fewer young people. Perhaps older generations appreciate chrysanthemums and these colorful, uniquely shaped landscapes more. I personally prefer natural landscapes and am not particularly fond of artificial ones. However, since Hangzhou's autumn scenery hasn't arrived yet, joining the fun is a good option.

🌈Tips:
1. Don't miss the Yuquan Corridor, which houses over 1,400 pots of rare chrysanthemum varieties.
2. It's best to visit in early November. By late November, some flowers will have withered, making the display less appealing.
3. For portrait photos, arrive before 8:00 am. After 8:00 am, it gets crowded. Weekends attract more young people, while weekdays see more seniors.
