都市里的翡翠
深圳地处华南沿海，属亚热带海洋性气候区，雨热充沛，四季无霜。深圳是一座多山之城，地貌复杂，峰峦叠秀；也是一座生态园林城市，满城皆绿、无处不花。深圳仙湖植物园就位于这样一座美丽的城市，坐落于深圳市最高峰梧桐山（海拔944米）西北山麓，西临深圳水库。梧桐山山高挺拔、云雾缭绕、峰峦竞翠；深圳水库烟波浩渺、一碧万顷。本地有”凤凰栖于梧桐，仙女嬉于天池”之传说，仙意十足，故名”仙湖”。
园区占地544.94公顷，整体地势为中间低、四周高，由山地、丘陵、水体组成，地形多变，具有良好的自然山水骨架。植物园由著名园林专家、北京林业大学孙筱祥教授主持选址规划，中国工程院院士孟兆祯教授主持总体设计。设计理念取自明代造园专著《园冶》中”相地合宜、构园得体”的思想，以山环水抱的”仙湖”为全园中心，建筑以白墙黄瓦为主，亭台楼阁依山就势，达到”极目所至、晴峦耸秀”的景观效果。
科研实力
仙湖植物园现已建成21个植物专类园，收集活植物约12000余种（含园艺品种），是华南乃至中国最主要的植物保育基地之一。园区科研方向涵盖植物生殖生物学、系统与进化植物学、城市生态学、植物基因组学等多个学科领域，在苏铁、木兰、苔藓、蕨类、苦苣苔和秋海棠等类群的研究居于行内领先水平。
仙湖植物园建有植物生物化学与分子生物学实验室、植物解剖实验室、显微镜室、植物保护实验室、植物组织与培养实验室、蕨类植物繁殖实验室、植物生理实验室、植物与环境实验室、种子生理实验室等科研设施，并设有保存7万余份标本的植物标本馆和藏书1万2千册的植物专业图书馆。2009年，仙湖植物园正式加入中国科学院，成为中国科学院与深圳市政府共建的植物园。
深圳古生物博物馆
深圳古生物博物馆坐落在风景秀丽的仙湖植物园内，由深圳市城市管理局筹建，于2001年4月29日正式对外开放，是以收藏、研究、展示古动物和古植物化石标本为主的专题性、科普型博物馆，馆藏化石标本9000余件，其中国家二级文物11件，三级文物388件，现为中国古生物学会科普教育基地。
馆舍依山兴建，石砌而成，远观如同一只巨型恐龙的骨架，造型奇特。馆内分为木化石展区、动物化石展区、植物化石展区三部分。木化石展区占地20000多平方米，收集了来自新疆、内蒙古、辽宁等地以及美国、印尼、南非和马达加斯加的硅化木近800余株，跨越1亿7千万年至100万年前的地质年代，展区造型宏伟、气势磅礴，是国内著名的地质学、古生物学教育基地。

Greening in the City
Shenzhen is a coastal city in southern China with a subtropical maritime climate, abundant rainfall, and pleasant temperatures year-round. It is a mountainous city with complex terrain, yet also an ecological garden city where greenery and flowers are everywhere. Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden is situated in this beautiful city, nestled in the northwestern foothills of Mount Wutongshan (944 m a.s.l.), the highest peak in Shenzhen, and bordering the Shenzhen Reservoir to the west. Towering Mount Wutongshan is often wreathed in mist, while the reservoir stretches vast and tranquil. Local legend speaks of “phoenix resting on the Wutong and fairies dancing on the lake,” lending the garden its ethereal name — Fairy Lake.
The Garden covers 544.94 hectares, with terrain that is lower in the center and higher on the periphery, composed of hills, forests, and water bodies. The garden was planned by Prof. Sun Xiaoxiang of Beijing Forestry University and designed by Prof. Meng Zhaozhen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Drawing inspiration from the Ming dynasty garden treatise “Yuan Ye” (The Craft of Gardens), the design centers on the mountain-enclosed “Fairy Lake,” with buildings featuring white walls and glazed tiles arranged naturally along the terrain, creating a landscape of sweeping views and serene beauty.
Scientific Research Excellence
The Garden now houses 21 specialized plant collections, conserving approximately 12,000 species and cultivars, making it one of the most important plant conservation bases in southern China and nationwide. Research spans plant reproductive biology, systematic and evolutionary botany, urban ecology, and plant genomics, with leading expertise in cycads, magnolias, bryophytes, ferns, gesneriads, and begonias.
The Garden is equipped with advanced research facilities including laboratories for plant biochemistry and molecular biology, plant anatomy, microscopy, plant protection, tissue culture, fern propagation, plant physiology, plant and environment studies, and seed physiology. Its herbarium holds over 70,000 specimens, and its specialized botanical library contains more than 12,000 volumes. In 2009, SZBG officially joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences, becoming a jointly established botanical garden under the China Academy of Sciences and the Shenzhen Municipal Government.
Shenzhen Paleozoological Museum
Located within the scenic Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, the Shenzhen Paleozoological Museum was established by the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Administration Bureau and opened to the public on April 29, 2001. This specialized science education museum houses over 9,000 fossil specimens, including 11 national second-level cultural relics and 388 third-level cultural relics. It is currently designated as an education base by the Paleontological Society of China.
The stone-built museum complex, constructed along the mountainside, resembles a giant dinosaur skeleton in silhouette. The museum comprises three main sections: the Petrified Wood Exhibition Hall, the Animal Fossil Exhibition Hall, and the Plant Fossil Exhibition Hall. The petrified wood gallery covers more than 20,000 square meters and displays nearly 800 specimens of petrified wood from Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Liaoning in China, as well as from the United States, Indonesia, South Africa, and Madagascar, spanning geological periods from 170 million to 1 million years ago. The grand and spectacular exhibition hall is a renowned education base for geology and paleontology in China.
