What Guests Are Saying

Visitors often emphasize the extraordinary range of tropical flora in this garden – many stating that the garden is worth seeing just for the rainforest greenhouse. The interactive Dinosaur Hall and Elf Tribe animal encounter feature are great for families with children, and keep younger family members fully occupied. The suspension bridge and its towering backdrop of palms are among the most photogenic locations in Beijing's environs, being hailed by photographers. Some visitors report they plan their visits in advance as the park is quite extensive, and it may take a while to walk from one zone to another if they choose to go in that direction. This is quite calm and the vegetation is profuse with the mix of tropical plant culture with southwest ethnic minority themes produced a garden with a strong repeat-visit value overall.
