Dapingding Tropical Botanical Garden Introduction
Dapingding Tropical Botanic Garden is the first urban tropical botanic garden in the country built for conservation, research, education, and recreation. It can be considered the lungs of the area, providing a rich and diverse plant and ecological environment. With its excellent geographical location and climatic conditions, it nurtures a wealth of species ecology. The terrain features, including plateaus, steep slopes, and cliffs, provide diverse habitats for organisms. This garden serves as a venue for environmental education and ecotourism, addressing global concerns, and as a resource for academic research and nature conservation. It was awarded the "National Excellent Construction Award" for Outstanding Environmental Culture in 2010, known as the Green Pearl. The garden is mainly divided into several zones, including the Tropical Style Area, Fruit Tree Area, Grassland Area, Rainforest Area, Coastal Plant Area, Aquatic Plant Area, Conservatory Plant Area, and Education and Interpretation Center. Additionally, the garden has specially planned four walking trails suitable for different physical conditions, ranging from the Leisure Path to the Hero Path.
