Fodor's Review:

Xishuangbanna Tropical Flower & Plant Garden (Xishuangbanna Redai Huahuiyuan) is an interesting place to spend several hours walking among fragrant frangipani, massive lily pads, drooping jackfruit, and thousands of other colorful and peculiar plants. This is one of China's finest gardens, featuring a well-designed layout arranged into themed sections including tropical fruits, palms, and rubber trees. Don't walk through too fast or you'll miss out on some of the more unique plants such as tiaowu cao, or "dancing grass," which actually stands up if you sing at it. Each plant's placard features English and Latin names.

Cost: Y40
Open: Daily 7:30-6
