Introduction
As one of the most developed cities in China, Shanghai has achieved great accomplishments in economic development, urban construction, and cultural innovation. Shanghai is also known as the country’s financial center, shipping hub, and cultural hotspot. The development of the city is unstoppable, and the potential of its various regions remains to be realized. Among these regions, Shanghai’s “back garden”- the Shanghai Botanical Garden, has great potential for future development. In this article, we will forecast the future development prospects of the Shanghai Botanical Garden.
Background Information
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is located in the southwestern part of Shanghai. Built-in 1974, it covers an area of more than 80 hectares, with over 10,000 species of plants. It is not only a scientific research base for plant conservation but also an important tourist attraction. The Shanghai Botanical Garden has been listed in the National Key Cultural Relic Protection Units, National 4A-level Scenic Spot, Shanghai Key Cultural Relic Protection Units, Shanghai Popular Science Education Base, and Shanghai Famous Brand.
Current Status
The Shanghai Botanical Garden has made remarkable achievements in plant conservation, scientific research, and exhibition in recent years. At present, the garden has six main exhibition areas, including the greenhouse area, fauna and flora park, rose garden, peony garden, wetland park, and ornamental plant area, among which the greenhouse area is the largest. The plant exhibition area of the Shanghai Botanical Garden is constantly enriched, and there are often international events and activities held in the garden. In addition to these, the Shanghai Botanical Garden has actively provided public education and popular science services to provide a better understanding of endangered plants in China to citizens and tourists.
Future Prospects
Looking at the future development prospects of the Shanghai Botanical Garden, there are several areas that can be explored, mainly in the following four areas:
1. Developing Horticultural Tourism
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is a tourist attraction for both local residents and tourists. In addition to its current six main exhibition areas, the garden can also expand its facilities to meet the needs of tourists. For example, building hotels, camping sites, and characteristic restaurants, and provide tourists with a better experience of horticultural tourism. The botanical garden has the potential to develop into a natural resort for the entire Shanghai metropolis.
2. Plant Conservation and Science Popularization Education
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is not only a horticulture resource, but also plays a great role in plant conservation, scientific research, and education. The botanical garden has been active in promoting plant conservation and biodiversity research. In the coming future, the Shanghai Botanical Garden needs to strengthen its conservation and research work, and promote the influence of plant popular science education among the public.
3. Facilitating Scientific Research Collaborations
The Shanghai Botanical Garden has a strong scientific research team and has built cooperation with many domestic and foreign scientific research institutions. In the coming future, Shanghai Botanical Garden should enhance the collaboration with domestic and foreign scientific research institutions to establish a more extensive and diversified academic exchange platform.
4. Innovating on Plant Industry Services
The Shanghai Botanical Garden has many rare plant species, and the commercial use of some of these has great prospects. It should innovate on its plant industry services and explore the development of green and sustainable plant industry.
Conclusion
The Shanghai Botanical Garden is a natural garden with great development potential. Its development prospects are not limited to the research, conservation, and horticultural exhibition, but also are very promising in terms of tourism development and scientific research collaboration. Shanghai Botanical Garden has a bright future to look forward to, and we believe that the garden will play its part in the sustainable development of the city of Shanghai.
