A "wonderful forest" in the city, a free tree park.
Guangdong Tree Park is located in the Guangdong Academy of Forestry. The park has a tree specimen garden, a demonstration garden of under-forest economic achievements, an urban wetland science park, a three-fun garden, a butterfly science park, and other science parks. There are 1,100 species of trees, making it the park with the most tree species in China!
Here, you may encounter those trees with magical titles, such as the southern yew, known as the "nemesis of cancer," the cephalotaxus, known as the "glacial veteran," and even the "king of poison," the upas tree.
Small bridges and flowing water, dense woods, and leisurely corridors... This place is more like a place for nearby residents to take a walk and rest. Even on holidays, there are very few tourists. The fresh air around makes people feel very comfortable.
🚉Transportation: Exit D of Longdong Station on Metro Line 6, about 8 minutes on foot
🎟️Tickets: Free, no reservation required
📝Tips: There is a creek in the park where you can take your kids to catch fish and shrimp; there are many mosquitoes in the park, so remember to bring mosquito repellent.
