Botanical Garden and Wofosi 北京植物园和卧佛寺
With a state-of-the-art green-house and the largest plant collection in China, the Beijing Botanical Garden, located in western Beijing next to the Frangrant Hills, has a whole day’s worth of flora. The highlight is the artificial jungle inside the greenhouse, with orchids, tropical trees and cacti. The sprawling grounds also contain Wofo Si, the Reclining Buddha Temple.

Review of Botanical Garden and Wofosi
Friends and I went on a weekend during the holidays and thought the park would be packed with kids running around. But I guess we were wrong. The place was very large and spacious that you hardly got the feel that it was crowded. Flowers of all sorts were blooming and the entire park looked really pretty. There were roses of all colors and tulips.
There was also the residence of Cao Xue Qin (author of A Dream of Red Mansion) that you could visit while you're at the park. Entrance to this area was free on the day we went. But there was a RMB 5 ticket for the Reclining Buddha temple also inside the park. It was worth visiting though. We had so much fun feeding the tortoises in the pond in front of the temple.
