[Shanghai] Shanghai Greenhouse Gardens 🪴 | Perfect for photogenic, natural relaxation, and indoor sightseeing!

🚉 Access

About an 11-minute walk from Houtan Station on Subway Line 7.
It's quite a walk, and the scenery doesn't change much, so it feels quite far!

🎟 Tickets

I recommend purchasing tickets in advance on Trip.com.
Enter by simply scanning a QR code—no passport needed!
There was no need to wait in line at the ticket booth, so it was a very smooth experience.

🪴 Inside the Museum

As the name suggests, it's an indoor botanical garden, but rather than just a botanical garden, it's more like a theme park, aquarium, and art space combined.
Each area has a different atmosphere, making it a great photo spot. 📸

Just walking around the building is quite a workout.
There are many stairs, slopes, and elevation changes, so it's best to wear comfortable shoes. A handheld fan is a must-have in the summer!

🌞 Seasonal Recommendations

As a greenhouse, it's extremely hot in the summer, so we recommend visiting in winter or spring.

The humidity is also high, so bringing a cold drink will keep you comfortable.

🍦 Rest and Dining Information

There's a restaurant and a DQ ice cream shop along the way!

You can also access it from outside, so you can take an ice cream break after you've finished looking around. 🍨
You can explore at your own pace without worrying about timing.

📷 Photo Spots

The beautiful combination of plants, light, and glass makes it a popular photo spot.
However, it's crowded, so it's easy for other people to appear in the photo, so you might need a bit of patience if you want to take photos.

We also recommend bringing a camera for serious photographers!
