About Xiamen Botanical Garden
Rainforest World contrasts dense tropical planting with the open shapes of the succulent collection, while the palm area introduces another distinct growth form. The Wanshi landscape also includes temple buildings and large natural rocks. Choose a route between a few collections and the booked entrance; the garden’s slopes and spread make a complete circuit a more substantial outing.
What to look for
- The contrast between Rainforest World and the succulent plant collection.
