Chenshan Botanical Garden

A large botanical garden in Songjiang combines specialist planting, conservatories and a transformed quarry, rewarding a substantial outing while requiring more travel and walking than central parks.

Chenshan Botanical Garden

Why go

Chenshan is worth the journey for the variety of designed plant environments within one landscape. The central display area includes aquatic, medicinal and rock gardens, while the former quarry makes a distinct setting for planting and paths. Chenshan Mountain adds a conservation area for indigenous plants, showing how research, landscape repair and public recreation share the same grounds.

What to look for

  • The Pit Garden created within a former quarry
  • Specialist aquatic, medicinal and rock gardens
  • Chenshan Mountain’s indigenous-plant conservation area

Useful to know

  • Reserve a substantial part of the day for travel and the garden itself.
  • Plan around the quarry and a few plant areas rather than trying to cover every garden.
