Here, flowers are blooming all year round. Here, you can feel hydrangeas growing vibrantly, stroll on the big lawns, play on a swing near “Lingxi Pool (灵犀池)” and lastly embrace the water and the heavens. The place is a realistic-version fairyland. The place is called Qiandaohu Botanical Garden.
Qiandao Deer Island
Deer-Shaped Island and Urban Forest
In fairy tales, deer are the spirits in the depth of forests. This magical “Deer-shaped Island” in Qiandao Lake is bound to be a mysterious land. It’s on this magic peninsula that Qiandaohu Botanical Garden is located. All explorations of flora here seem to be guided by the deer.
The bridge that leads to the island over the lake is the dividing line between reality and fairy tales, with lake scenery on both sides and the island on the opposite bank.
In the center, flowers are acted as guides. The entrance alone has dizzying views and more surprises waiting for you as you walk deeper into the botanical garden.
Luming Platform 鹿鸣台
The sound of deer leads me into the garden
Luming Platform is located at the intersection of two main roads of the garden. The leaping deer at a height are like the guardian spirits of the botanical garden. When looking at the deer in the eye, it feels like that one can hear the sound of the deer.
Stopping at the shores of “Lingxi Pool” to look at proud deer “leaping” towards the azure sky gives the trip a unique gain.
Red-Tiled Auditorium
A building with spire, Western-style romance
“Red-Tiled Spire Auditorium” is often depicted as a place of love in Western literature.
It is solemn yet beautiful, gentle yet respectful. Lovers who come holding hands should really visit the “Lovers' Slope” in front of the auditorium. It’s highly recommended that you take a photo with your lover on the Lovers' Slope with the “romantic auditorium” behind.
Mirror of the Sky
The water and the sky melt in one color and white clouds in the azure sky are continuous.
You don’t have to come all the way to Dali. Right here in Qiandao Lake, there is "Mirror of the Sky". Facing the broadest Central Lake Area in Qiandao Lake, it’s a “shortcut” for you to touch the azure sky.
Every casual snap here promises you a great photo. It has not only greenery all year round, but also natural lake scenery and mountain views. How could one miss such a distinctive place as the botanical garden?
Chinese Wisteria Tunnel
Chinese Wisteria symbolizes sentiment of missing and love
“Chinese Wisteria” is a natural shelter from the sun. It’s said that Chinese Wisteria flowers are born for love. The Chinese wisteria that spread arbitrarily is the unique gentleness of spring.
Qiandaohu Botanical Garden has a date with Chinese wisteria once a year. If you have missed this year’s spring, it's better not to miss it next year.
Wedding Lawn
Make your promise of a lifetime here
“Wedding Lawn” is the venue for chasing the wind in the garden and also a natural amusement park for kids to frolic freely. Through the “music note” wall in the center of the lawn, you’ll see tracts of purple flower sea.
You can run freely on the green lawn and stay away from the hustle and bustle of urban life for a while. The meaning of a trip to Qiandaohu Botanical Garden is to let your body and mind be immersed in this mysterious land.
Mid-air Viewing Platform
Distant mountains and lakes are all in sight.
“Mid-air Viewing Platform” is located at the highest point of the garden, and is also the endpoint of the Rainbow Stairs.
You can take beautiful photos here. Blue clouds, azure sky, green mountains, lake water... All of them can make beautiful backgrounds for your photos.
