If you love seeing a garden made from recycled and energy saving materials, then make sure to visit Dubai’s glow-in-the-dark park.

The site has seen over 100,000 visitors in its first month. The place is full of replicas of global landmarks, wildlife scenes, and food stalls from around the world.

Artists have spent hours to create the scenes using plastic bottles, glass, silk, and four million energy-saving LED bulbs.

Zabeel Park's senior supervisor says that the aim of the project is to encourage people to lead a better lifestyle.

The 30-million dirham project also includes colorful representations of an ant garden, a dinosaur camp, and a tulip garden. Dubai Garden Glow runs until the end of April.
