关于
快速信息: 占地273英亩、拥有超过2000种植物，这座维多利亚风格植物园的历史可追溯至1787年。园内著名的树龄200年的大榕树覆盖面积达4.4英亩，使其成为世界上最大的树冠之一。
亮点: 这里的大榕树不仅古老，它更是一片由3600多根气生根组成的活森林，这些气生根看起来像一根根独立的树干，共同撑起一个巨大的树冠。在1920年代遭受雷击和真菌感染后，原本的主干被移除，但这棵树依然茁壮成长并不断扩展，基本上成了自己的克隆。
内部小贴士
- Skip the tram inside the garden, walking the 2 kilometer loop past the banyan, greenhouses, and lake is more rewarding.
- Best photo of the Great Banyan is from the eastern side around 10 AM when the sun filters through the aerial roots at a low angle.
- Wear closed shoes and long pants, the grass harbors ant colonies and the pathways can get muddy after rain.
- Bring your own water and snacks, the lone on-site canteen has limited options and tends to run out by midday.
