Xin Qi and Xiao Wu are a couple living in Beijing. In the summer of 2017, they rented a 260-square-meter siheyuan, a courtyard house, in Xicheng District and turned the old dwelling into a botanical garden housing over 600 plants from around the world. This spring, they rented a 5,000-square-meter land at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in suburban Beijing in the hope that these plants can have a new and bigger place to grow.
For Xiao Wu, this new garden is a dreamy botanical garden. For Xin Qi, it is like Thoreau's Walden that can help her temporarily run away from the stir of society. For their daughter Tong Tong, it is a Garden of Eden with all happy memories.
