It is home to exotic flowers and trees from all over the world. They thrive on this land and bloom in a mesmerizing brilliance. Today, let's walk into this magical land and feel the magic of nature. First of all, we are going to enter the "Rainforest Wonder Zone". Here, you will see a magical tree - "seeing blood to seal the throat". The milky white sap of this tree is extremely toxic, and once it touches a human wound, it can quickly lead to heart paralysis, hence the name "seeing blood and sealing the throat". However, it is such a highly poisonous plant that has become a material for the local Dai people to make traditional musical instruments. They boiled the sap into glue and pasted it on bamboo chips to make a "Dai flute" that could play a beautiful melody. This has to be said to be a miraculous natural phenomenon.

In the Tropical Rainforest Wonder Zone, there is also a kind of tree that makes people breathtaking, the "Lookout Tree". Towering into the sky and with straight trunks, they are the "giants" of the rainforest. The canopies of the trees are intertwined, as if building a natural "hanging garden". Here, you can walk in the sky corridor built between the canopies of trees and feel the magical experience of walking in the clouds.

Next, we're going to walk into the "Savage Lawn Zone". Here, you'll see a magical plant called the "Dancing Grass". The leaves of this grass automatically curl in the sunlight, as if dancing. According to legend, this grass was named in honor of a Dai girl. For love, she jumped off the cliff and turned into a "dancing grass" on this land, telling her thoughts with dance.

The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced seeds from the Shanghai Botanical Garden in August 2023, which is also the first time that the garden has introduced seeds. Orontium aquaticum, also known as Golden Club, is a plant of the genus Araceae Araceae, and its genus name comes from the Greek word O'Onti. It is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant native to the southeastern United States, where it is commonly found in swamps, ponds, and slow-flowing streams. Because the surface of the leaves is covered with waxy hoarfrost, which looks dry when removed from water, this plant is sometimes referred to as a never-wet plant.
