Dapingding Tropical Botanic Garden Introduction

Dapingding Tropical Botanic Garden is the first metropolitan tropical botanic garden in the nation constructed for conservation, research, education, and recreation, often regarded as the lungs of the area, providing a rich and diverse plant and ecological environment. With its excellent geographical location and climate conditions, it nurtures a wealth of species ecology. The varied terrains, including plateaus, steep slopes, and cliffs within the garden, offer diverse habitats for organisms. Serving as a venue for environmental education and ecotourism addressing global concerns, it is also a resource for academic research and nature conservation. The garden was honored with the "2010 National Excellence Construction Award" in the excellent environmental culture category, receiving the Gold Award and is known as the "Green Pearl." The park is primarily divided into tropical style zones, fruit tree areas, scrubland zones, rainforest zones, coastal plant zones, aquatic plant zones, a greenhouse plant zone, and an education and interpretation center. Additionally, the park has planned four walking routes suitable for different physical conditions according to their distances, allowing visitors to gradually progress from the Leisure Path to the Hero Path.
