[2025 Taichung Attraction] Travel Guide for Botanical Garden of National Museum of Nature Science (Updated Aug)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This may be one of the only two glass-curtain botanical gardens in Taiwan, the other being the Chia-Nan University Botanical Garden. Taichung Botanical Garden is part of the National Museum of Natural Science and was established in 1999. It covers an area of ​​about 4.5 hectares. It has the largest tropical rainforest greenhouse in Taiwan and is designed based on Taiwan's unique ecology. The park is divided into 8 major areas and has more than 800 species of plants. The huge pearly swallowtail butterfly in front of the greenhouse of the botanical garden is the landmark of the botanical garden. Together with the glass exterior, these are the two major landmarks of the botanical garden. You won’t feel stuffy in the greenhouse because there is air conditioning to adjust the temperature inside the greenhouse. In addition, the green shade of the plants makes it quite comfortable to walk around. Because I use the museum card, I can enter and exit the botanical garden for free. Here I can also appreciate and understand the importance of natural ecological conservation. Only by cherishing and treasuring the environment we live in can humans, animals and plants continue to reproduce the next generation. (20210919)
