The Fairy Lake Botanical Gardens (Xianhú Zhíwùyuán, 仙湖植物园) are located at the base of Mt. Wutong (Wútóng Shān, 梧桐山), the highest point in or around Shenzhen. The gardens are a nice, green retreat from the city's concrete towers and are a pleasant change of pace from industry and entertainment heavy Shenzhen. There is active botanical research going on in and around the grounds of the gardens and the collection is still expanding. Southern Chinese flora is well represented, with impressive palm and bamboo exhibits.
