The features of this place can be described in four words: rare, exotic, ancient, and strange. √ Mengbanaxi Exotic Garden has: paleontological fossils, petrified wood and jade museum, strange stones and famous trees museum, world famous trees, and large root art museum. √ The number and size of the century-old trees here are the largest in China. Have you ever seen more than 500 century-old trees? There are here. Secondly, the number and quality of petrified wood and jade, and the scale are also the largest in China and rare in the world. There are also large root carvings, the number, shape, and size of which are also the largest in China. √ Here, you can see all kinds of millennium-old trees, such as millennium-old osmanthus, millennium-old crape myrtle, millennium-old boxwood, 600-year-old banyan tree, 500-year-old frangipani, 300-year-old bougainvillea... There are so many. √ The first thing you see when you enter the park is the world's largest elephant-foot drum. The elephant-foot drum is a folk musical instrument of the Dai people in Yunnan. In 2008, it was approved by the State Council to be included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. √ Large pieces of jade rough are lying quietly everywhere, which surprised me a little. In order to let tourists appreciate and understand, craftsmen cut the jade rough to reveal its true face. The jade formed by thousands of years of geological changes not only shows the power and beauty of nature, but also provides precious gems and decorative materials for human beings. √ When you come to the peacock garden, the peacocks live freely in the ecological environment, strolling, foraging, and playing leisurely. √ Transportation guide: 1 Take bus No. 2 directly to Mengbanaxi Exotic Garden Station. 2 Take a taxi from the city center. 3 There is a parking lot in the scenic area, so self-driving tourists can park conveniently.
