Reminiscent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Buranda has its own hanging gardens. Easily accessible by train, bike, bus or car, this green oasis stands in stark contrast to the surrounding transport corridors.
There are many vantage points. This one seems to be out of view from the many security cameras.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present-day Al Hillah in Iraq (formerly Babylon), is considered one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. They were built by Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.
