Green Miracle! Step into China's largest botanical garden and witness the splendor of rare plants!

The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is like a super large plant kingdom, located by a small river of the Lancang River - the Luosuo River. This kingdom covers an area as large as 1,100 football fields and houses over 13,700 different kinds of tropical plants. It is the largest botanical garden in China, not only in terms of area but also in the number of plant species collected. It has specialized botanical zones with a wide variety of species. Address: Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture Ticket: 80/person, divided into East and West zones, 50/person Opening hours: 08:00-18:00 Transportation: Take the bus to Jinghong Zhongke Botanical Garden or take the direct shuttle to the scenic area Travel Guide 👀 In the Banyan Garden, you can see some special sights, such as a tree that looks like a small forest, and some tree roots that are particularly thick, even entwining other trees to form unique landscapes. 👀 The Giant Water Lily is a popular plant in the Shade Garden, but don't expect it to be a playground for children in winter. It mainly attracts people to take photos and check in as a popular spot. 👀 The Hundred Flowers Garden is close to the hot air balloon area and is a great place for photos, but the hot air balloon experience is not recommended, possibly due to weather or safety reasons. 👀 The Palm Garden has many palm trees that grow very tall, almost reaching the clouds, making it an excellent photo spot. 👀 The Garden of Exotic Flowers and Trees has many plants that are rarely seen, suitable for slow appreciation. This is also a place to eat and rest. 👀 Next to the Worry-Free Flower Tree is the Royal Lotus Hotel. It is said that the last Dai king, Dao Shixun, personally planted this tree, so there is also a historical story here. 👀 The Beleaf Palm is a very special plant that blooms only once in its lifetime and is very important to Dai culture, symbolizing the "Beleaf Culture". 👀 On the signboards, blue represents ordinary plants, while red indicates endangered plants that need special protection.
