🌵Enter Shenzhen's Desert Planet! A Complete Guide to the Xianhu Cactus Garden

Tucked away in the "exotic secrets" of the Xianhu Botanical Gardens, its three greenhouses showcase thousands of cacti and succulents, transporting you instantly from the American desert to the African Gobi. ✨ The 6-meter-tall giant columns of the Americas Pavilion stand like a forest, the tuberous plants of the Africa Pavilion are peculiar in form, and the aloe vera plants of the Asia Pavilion are fresh and elegant—perfect for filming sci-fi blockbusters.

Admission is included in the botanical garden pass (15 yuan/person). It's recommended to take the park shuttle bus directly to save energy. The best time to visit is between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, avoiding the midday sun. Keep your distance when taking photos, as the sharp thorns can cause scratches, so remember to use mosquito repellent.

After your visit, take a 5-minute walk to the Fossil Forest to capture this "dialogue between time and space" between cacti and billion-year-old petrified wood. Stop by Hongfa Temple for a prayer, and you'll have a fulfilling and productive day!
