A few of my co-workers and I had received complimentary admission tickets to the South China Botancial Garden, and decided to visit one afternoon in December. As the name suggestions, much of the exhibit was held indoors, but there were also quite a large variety of plants and trees outside as well.
One of the coolest things about this place were the trees. In particular, the Strangler Trees left a big impression on me. Some of these trees have been around for hundreds and thousands of years and as they grew, the branches of different trees started intertwining and one tree would eventually overtake the other. There were quite a few examples of this on display.
Another type of tree that I remember is one that had a very wide trunk with a hollow centre. The tree had been hallowed out for whatever reason and you were able to go inside the tree.
Aside from the trees, there was also a pond full of humongous lily pads, and a collection of other plants I had never seen before.
