Spring Outing of SYB at Shanghai Botanical Garden
SYB上海植物园踏青
Last Sunday, March 20th, was the Spring Equinox, one of the 24 solar terms. The weather was pleasant and warm. The 30 SYB students of the 8th batch along with their teachers took this opportunity to do a spring outing to Shanghai Botanical Garden.
3月20日上周日，正值二十四节气中的春分，天气暖洋洋的，我们第八届SYB师生一行三十多人，熙熙攘攘地来到上海植物园踏青。
Once entering the garden, students were surrounded by patches of pink, romantic cherry blossom, colorful tulips and rows of lofty metasequoia, as well as many other unnamable plants. There are even two peacocks seen perching on the twig of a big tree!
进入公园，展现在同学们眼前的是一片片粉粉的浪漫樱花、色彩艳丽的郁金香、一排排高大笔直的水杉，以及许许多多叫不上名字的美丽花草。甚至还在一棵高高的树上看到两只孔雀栖息在树枝间。
Besides that, we also visited the greenhouse, orchid house and bonsai garden where some rare tropical plants, orchids and bonsais are exhibited. Students took a lot of pictures as their way to memorize this unforgettable experience with SYB at Spring Equinox.
除此之外，我们还参观了上海植物园的温室、兰室和盆景园，看到了许多平时不常见到的热带植物、兰花和盆景。同学们纷纷在此留下倩影，记录这唯一一个在SYB度过的令人难忘的春分时节。
