Local before arrival
The bonsai garden, bamboo forest, the blooming cherry- and plum trees, and the fragrant sweet olive bushes are some of the attractions at the Shanghai Botanical Garden. But the singing stones make any visit in this Chinese park unforgettable. Chinese visitors, school groups, picnicking families, and wedding parties posing for photos seem to accept these stones as a natural part of the landscape, yet everyone else pauses, registering the curious whisper of these musical rocks and stones.
