Visited on: 19 December 2025

Journey from the tropical lowlands to the high-altitude peaks! In this video, we explore one of the most specialized sections of the Shanghai Botanical Garden—the Alpine and Mount Glasshouse.

Unlike the humid rainforest pavilions, this unique "cool house" utilizes advanced climate control to mimic the crisp, thin air of high-mountain environments. We walk through a stunning landscape of rugged rockwork and misty paths, discovering rare alpine flora that survives in some of the harshest conditions on Earth.

From delicate Highland Rhododendrons to rare rock-dwelling succulents and tiny mountain wildflowers, this glasshouse is a masterclass in specialized horticulture and landscape design. It’s a peaceful, refreshing escape that offers a rare look at the beauty of the world's highest peaks, right in the heart of Shanghai.
