Pretty area. Mostly forest, but it was very peaceful and makes a nice change from the other gardens in China.

The gardens are very big. We went there to look for the Bamboo Forest but did not find it. What we did find were lots of tranquil paths and areas to explore where there were no other people around. It was a lovely place to just feel like you are out of a city. My advice is go with a good amount of time, put the map away and just walk and explore.

The gardens are beautifully maintained. The taxi dropped us at the North end of the gardens which was a great place to start.
We loved the bonsai area which I think ids called the potted plant garden.
The gardens house a museum to Hans Meilin. This is a highlight of the gardens and quite unexpected. Mr Meilin is a prolific Chinese artist with sculptures , art paintings and ceramics. This is a must see attraction if visiting Hangzhou

Although a grade, this is more of a research area. Looked more like a forrest. But we enjoyed the walk and the plants are well marked.

lots of different areas to explore - I enjoyed the bamboo section with many different ones - both large and small. The herb area was in need of some attention - but that may have been the time of the year. Allow plenty of time and enjoy the walk. Also lots of buses out the the park from town.

We were able to take tour boat around the waterways. Reminded me of miniature South Louisiana swamp tour.
Ok thing to do, but not great....average.
If they had a beer or 2...it could have been better. But, tea is king in China.

Like the surroundings. Lot of different landscapes, lot of paths. Despite our visit was during a weekend we were able to feel alone in the park. Huge green area. So calm, relaxing that you forget you're in the city of XX milion inhabitants! :) :)
Surely worth to visit, even if you only "run through".

I enjoyed our visit there. Ample plantation and water lillies. Now I am not a botanologist to be able to judge the varieties and the quality of the gardens but I found plenty of nice shooting opportunities. You can walk at the lake shores and feel comfortable and nice as many options are open to you. Take a boat ride, walk over bridges or seat in a cafe. 2-3 hours recommended.

Is it recommended to travel to Hangzhou on mid of February, since it is winter not sure if it is snow during that time and might be not good scenery.

We haven't visited in winter, but our daughter-in-law says it could be quite cold, with possible snow. The botanical garden will not be crowded, and it might be quite beautiful in winter, but the best time would be Spring or Fall.

Where is this and can I get there via the Metro?

We used a taxi. Taxis are really cheap in Hangzhou. Geographically, it is on the west side of the West lake (Hangzhou) .
