Yuntai Garden, Public park in Baiyun District, China.
Yuntai Garden occupies a 120,000-square-metre valley between two hills on the southern slope of Baiyun Mountain, laid out after the model of Butchart Gardens in Canada. Its entrance is a blue metal lattice arch rising over two white domed pillars, with gold Chinese characters above gold Latin letters reading "YUN TAI GARDEN". Inside are a glass greenhouse, a rock garden, a Roman colonnade, the Yiyuan garden and Zuihua Court.
The park was established in 1995 as an important addition to Guangzhou's green spaces and recreational areas. This development helped expand the city's outdoor facilities for residents and visitors.
The park's layout follows traditional Chinese garden design principles with native plants and seasonal flower displays throughout the grounds. Visitors notice careful landscaping choices that highlight local vegetation and create spaces for experiencing nature.
Yuntai Garden is reached by Metro Line 11 at Yuntai Garden Station, on the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain in Baiyun District. The grounds cover 120,000 square metres across a valley between two hills, so allow time to walk between the flower beds, glasshouse and rock garden. The garden connects with Yunluo Botanical Garden through a passage opened on 19 April 2025.
The garden was modelled on Butchart Gardens in Canada and opened on 28 September 1995 on a 120,000-square-metre site in a valley between two hills at the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain. In 2011 a second phase, the 130,000-square-metre Shengtai Valley, was added to the north; in 2024 it became Yunluo Botanical Garden, and a connecting passage between the two opened on 19 April 2025.
