A world-class national botanical garden will be built in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing over the next five years.
The garden will merge two existing botanical gardens at the foot of the Fragrant Hills, a scenic spot in the suburbs of Beijing.
The amalgamated gardens will be divided into three main sections for scientific research, a display area for new plants bred by resident botanists, and an area for displaying vegetation from different climates along side historical and cultural relics.
The new project will integrate previously separate areas of the Fragrant Hills.
