Heilongjiang Forest Botanical Garden
黑龙江省森林植物园
A large forest botanical garden in the city. Lilacs bloom in May, and the autumn “Five-Colored Mountains” are a favorite of locals.
The botanical garden is on Haping Road in Xiangfang District. It is one of China’s earliest urban forest botanical gardens. Its features include a lilac garden, a pine and cypress garden, a medicinal plant garden and an artificial lake. In May, lilacs, Harbin’s city flower, are in full bloom. In autumn, maples, white birches and deciduous larches turn in a riot of color, earning the garden the name “Five-Colored Mountains.” Admission is about CNY 25. On weekends, you'll see locals picnicking here. Take the Metro to a nearby station and walk or take a taxi from there. It makes a good half-day outing.
