Greenhouses to visit in China

The Verrière atlas lists 4 greenhouses in China, built between 1999 and 2010.

Every major Chinese greenhouse in the catalogue dates from 1999 or later, part of the rise of national botanical gardens in Beijing and Guangzhou and of large exhibition parks such as Kunming and Shanghai's Chenshan. They are multi-climate complexes designed from the start for large audiences.
