Shenyang Botanical Garden has been named as "Top 50 Beautiful Scenery in Liaoning Province", "Shenyang 15 Tourist Scenery" and "Shenyang 10 Popular Science Education Base" by the provincial and municipal people's governments. It is a scientific research and popular science which focuses on plant research, plant popularization and plant landscape, combines natural landscape with human landscape, and integrates ornamental, knowledge and entertainment. The park is located at No.301,Shuang Yuan Road, Dongling District, Shenyang, only ten kilometers west of the city. Covers an area of 2 1 1 hectare. Among them, green area 196 hectares, water surface 6.5 hectares, roads and buildings 6.9 hectares. Within the territory, the mountains are rolling, the lake is rippling with blue waves, the pines and cypresses are green, the flowers are in full bloom, the vines in Wu Ye are dancing, the lawns are paved, pavilions and waterfalls are practiced, the flowers are colorful, the fragrance is floating all over the garden, and the scenery is different and beautiful. The park has collected and displayed more than 700 species of plants/kloc-0 in Northeast China, Northwest China, North China and Inner Mongolia, some of which belong to rare and endangered plants, and it is the botanical garden with the largest collection of plants in Northeast China. Colorful entertainment activities are even more dazzling and difficult to manage, especially more than 50 "entertainment bridges" with novel shapes and different tastes, and the thrilling "rock climbing" is particularly amazing and fascinating. It can be called "the kingdom of plants" and "the world of amusement bridges", and it is a good place for sightseeing and leisure. There is a railway station in the park, and buses connect Shuang Yuan Road and Shenfu Highway (north line), so the traffic is very convenient.
Shenyang Botanical Garden was founded in June of 1959 and 10, and was instructed by Comrade Jiao Ruoyu, then the first secretary of Shenyang Municipal Committee. Botanical Garden was originally affiliated to Shenyang Urban Construction Bureau, and 1962 was taken over by Shenyang Garden Department. Revoked during the "Cultural Revolution" and merged into "Donghui Forest Farm"; 1973 restore the organizational system; 198 1, Shenyang Garden Office and Shenyang Greening Office are set separately, and the Botanical Garden is incorporated into the Greening Office; 1988 changed to Shenyang Institute of Landscape Science; 1994 was re-owned by Shenyang Urban Construction Bureau and became a directly affiliated institution. 1993 officially opened to the outside world in September.
Botanical Garden is located at the edge of low hills in the northeast of the city. These low hills originated from the famous Changbai Mountain range and are the continuation of Hadaling in Jilin Province. This undulating mountain extends to Guanyin Pavilion at the junction of Shenyang and Fushun, forming a branch between Qipanshan and the west. This tributary is divided into four tributaries: one from Qipanshan to the west and down the right bank of Puhe River; One, with Huishan as the main peak, extends southwest in the management circle of Mantang Township and Ying Da Township; A southwest passes through Mantang to Fuling Tianzhu Mountain and becomes the main peak; One runs through Gaokan Town from Guanyin Pavilion to the southwest and reaches the north bank of Hunhe River. The botanical garden is at the end of the back branch, facing Tianzhu Mountain in Fuling from east to west. Geographical coordinates are123 37 ′ 52 ″ to 54″ east longitude and 4151′ 35 ″ to 37″ north latitude. The highest altitude106m, the lowest 75m (generally only 45m in urban areas), and the height difference is 3 1 m.. The terrain is basically high around and low in the middle. The terrain is tortuous and changeable: there are rolling hills and terraces, criss-crossing gullies, sparkling lakes and spacious and flat open spaces. The soil is mountainous brown soil, which is acidic. Vegetation belongs to the middle transitional zone where the flora of North China, Inner Mongolia and Changbai meets, and has the advantages of planting, introducing and domesticating many kinds of plants. South to Shenfu Highway (north line), west to Shuang Yuan Road.
As the saying goes, "Nothing can be done without the past." There are also many historical and cultural relics in the botanical garden area. According to historical records, Old Station, Gaokan, Ma Shang (known as Shangmajiawanzi in history), Ma Zhong (known as Zhongmajiawan Zi in history), Dismount (known as Xiamajiawanzi in history), Yantai (known as Yantai Rooney in history), Qifang and Zhongshui Spring around the Botanical Garden. Among them, there used to be ancient temples such as Xiangyun Temple, Longquan Temple, Qingyun Temple and Guandi Temple in Laozhan, Gaokan, Qijianfang and Yantai (it no longer exists today). The old station is many years earlier than other villages. Shenfu Highway (North Line), the avenue in front of the south gate of Botanical Garden, is still a thousand-year-old road, which was called "Dayu Road" in Qing Dynasty. At that time, emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and others passed this road many times and went to Shengjing (Shenyang) and Xingjing (Xinbin) to worship their ancestors. When going back and forth, the Fuling team will set up a "sharp camp" in Yantai Village for the emperor to eat "lunch". At that time, officials with more than five products in Shengjing will gather in Yantai Village and kneel down to welcome the emperor into Beijing. Shenfu Railway, which runs through the park, was originally named "Fenghai Railway" and was built by the northeast people in 1925. In the past, the railways in Northeast China were all built by imperialist powers. Fenghai Railway is an important historical relic with a history of nearly a hundred years in Northeast China, and it is also a teaching material for patriotism education for young people. 1958 president Mao Zedong visited the old station (where gaokan commune is located) on his way to Fushun. The botanical garden will be built here the following year. The two are historical coincidences.
Botanical Garden has been built for more than 40 years, and has experienced the hard struggle of leaders, cadres and workers, especially the deepening of reform and opening up in the past decade. It has been built into a new botanical garden with reasonable planning, proper layout, exquisite gardening, rich connotation, clean garden capacity and excellent service, which is deeply loved by tourists.
The overall layout of the Botanical Garden is bounded by Shenfu Railway, which is divided into north and south parts. The southern part is the main tourist parks, such as Botanical Garden, Cuihu and Rock Climbing Tourist Area, Jintan and Lingjiaogou Leisure Bridge Area, Popular Science Park and Star Paradise. The northern half has a steam locomotive exhibition hall, a hotel and a plant planting area.
Special Botanical Gardens can be divided into Peony Garden, Lilac Garden, Rhododendron Garden, Lawn Plant Area, Perennial Flower Garden, Orchard Garden, Yulan Park, Pine and Cypress Garden, Rose Garden, Vanilla Garden, Cherry Garden and Yulan Park according to different families, genera, species and ecological habits of plants. Among them, there are rare treasures in Northeast China such as "Hundred Years Peony", and rare and endangered plants such as Taxus cuspidata and Vaccinium koreanum. Pavilions and pavilions, flower bed landscape walls, stacked mountains and rocks, waterfalls and fountains are dotted among them, adding a bit of charm and characteristics to the garden; Cuihu tourist area has a wide water surface and a green lake, which looks like an emerald, while the "rock climbing" standing on the bank of Cuihu is like the same "Feilai Peak", where brave people show their courage and strength. Jingtan and Lingjiaogou are concentrated areas of "amusement bridges", attracting thousands of men, women and children every day. They are enjoying themselves, forgetting to exert their potential, overcoming themselves and realizing the value of life. Star Paradise is children's world, and all kinds of cartoon-shaped amusement facilities make children enjoy it. The animal viewing area displays nearly 100 kinds of rare birds and animals, which makes people feast their eyes; Popular science promenade, popular science promenade and popular science park introduce many popular science knowledge about plants and ecological environment protection to tourists in various novel ways, which are easy to understand; "Man and Nature" series sculptures are full of artistic charm, telling people those ancient and mysterious myths and legends. These masterpieces show the profound connotation and heavy historical connotation of Chinese culture. The steam locomotive exhibition hall shows 17 old domestic steam locomotives and 8 foreign-made steam locomotives used in the history of China railway. These scientific treasures have witnessed the humiliating history of China for nearly a hundred years. This garden has beautiful scenery all year round: at the turn of spring and summer, lilacs, roses and locust flowers are everywhere; In late autumn, the red leaves are attractive and the fruits are numerous; Winter has come, and the snow has crushed pine trees, birch trees and white flowers.
