合肥植物园
A city botanical garden on the shore of Dongpu Reservoir, where plum, cherry, tulip and lotus bloom in succession, making it Hefei's top spot for flower viewing.
Hefei Botanical Garden is on the shore of Dongpu Reservoir in Shushan District, just north of Dashushan. Established in the 1980s, it collects more than 3,000 plant species and includes themed gardens for plum, cherry blossom, rose and lotus, along with a greenhouse. Visitors peak during the early-spring plum blossom season and the cherry and tulip seasons in March and April, while lotus flowers bloom in summer. Admission is charged on site and may change during flower exhibitions. A visit takes 2 to 3 hours. Getting there: about 20 minutes by taxi from downtown, or take a bus to Botanical Garden station. It can be visited in the same direction as Three Kingdoms New City Site Park and Dashushan.
