  1. Kunming-Botanical-Garden

Kunming Botanical Garden was first built in 1938 for the purpose of cultivating rare and endangered flowers, medicinal herbs and major trees. 

Kunming Botanical Garden

Kunming Botanical Garden is offering a welcome green space for the lively city centre. Together with the nearby Heilongtan Park, a scenic resort famed for its ancient trees, it constitutes a significant area of natural reserve in the Yunnan province famed for its flora and biodiversity.

 Kunming Botanical Garden

The Kunming Botanical Institute endeavors to engage the public simultaneously with its research and exhibitions, and Kunming Botanical Garden is a perfect device for bridging this gap. Some 4,000 varieties of tropical and subtropical plants grow profusely amidst dense clusters of the official flower of Kunming.  
 
The Camellia Garden is unique in the country and displays up to 40 species of flower. Ten special plant gardens and experimental zones arrange plants for closer inspection. The Tea Plantation in the Garden is one of the most distinct plantations in China. There are also specialized magnolia and begonia gardens, highlighting these popular ornamental plant varieties, as well as gardens of fern, hydrophytes and rare and endangered species. Conservation and genetic preservation is of great importance to the Institute, as is the study of plants used for industrial purposes, the export of Camphor oil and other plant volatiles being one of the major exports from the Yunnan Province. 
 
The Garden has reintroduced precious flowers, traditional medicinal herbs, important trees and endangered plants to the province, as well as developing technologies which help the migration and survival rate of plants transported from one region to another.

 

The 44-hectare Kunming Botanical Garden is 12 kilometers away from downtown of Kunming city. It combines with the Heilongtan park, where ancient trees grow luxuriantly to form a famed scenic resort. The garden was first built in 1938 for the purpose of cultivating rare and precious flowers, medicinal herbs, major trees and endangered plants. Today it boasts nearly 4,000 kinds of plants.
