went to see the wintersweet in Weifang Botanical Garden during the first lunar month

The wintersweet mainly concentrates near the east gate of the botanical garden. The koi I saw last year in the pond of the bonsai garden were nowhere to be found this year. Weifang Botanical Garden is located in the southeastern part of Kuiwen District, Weifang City, Shandong Province, bordered by the main traffic arteries of the city, Beihai Road to the east and Baotong Street to the south. The botanical garden was established in 2007, covering an area of about 460,000 square meters, consisting of four major scenic areas: the ornamental tree area, the aquatic plant area, the rock garden, and the bonsai science popularization garden. Weifang Botanical Garden is built around Jiulong Mountain, with the undulating terrain formed by the mountain. The rocks from the mountain constitute the rock garden, using local materials. Slopes are planted with lawns to form small hills. Although the overall area of the botanical garden is not large, the variety of terrains gives a sense of vastness. Different terrains are planted with different plants, and there is not much difference between the plants from one terrain to another. As one walks from one place to another, there is no significant visual conflict, so there is no feeling of weariness when walking in the botanical garden. The terrain of the botanical garden is undulating and winding, with the beauty of the scenery visible everywher
