Xinglong Tropical Garden

　　The garden was established in 1992 and covers an area of 5,800 acres. It features various themed areas including a botanical viewing zone, tropical rainforest viewing zone, biological breeding zone, reconstructed tropical rainforest zone (celebrity tree-planting area), horticultural viewing zone, and forest camping zone. Currently, the garden boasts a rich diversity of species and a thriving tropical rainforest, which has initially restored the region’s biodiversity and created a healthy, self-sustaining ecological environment.

　　The garden is a “kingdom” of tropical plants and a treasure trove of rare and endangered species. To date, thousands of varieties of tropical ornamental plants—hundreds of thousands of individual plants—have been planted here. Among them are 65 species of rare and endangered plants, 27 of which are listed in China’s Red Data Book of Plants, and 8 species that have been introduced and cultivated here. Many plants on the verge of extinction have been relocated for protection, propagated, and allowed to form stable communities.

　　Xinglong Tropical Garden is one of the world’s most ecologically intact tropical botanical gardens.
