Shanghai's Super Tulip Garden


Last weekend we went to a huge tulip garden outside of Shanghai. It was modeled after the famous Keukenhof tulip garden in Holland between The Hague and Amsterdam. We went there when we lived in the Netherlands and it was truly amazing in the springtime. Thousands and thousands of flowers.
Well, you’ve got to admire the Chinese. While the Shanghai Flowerport tulip garden isn’t as mature or as immaculately manicured, they do a pretty impressive job.
Give it about 10 years and the trees will be bigger. Then it will be really something. At this point though it still has the huge swaths of flowers that make the Keukenhof so spectacular. Jenny stayed at home with the baby enjoying a bit of a break from the whole crew.
