## About South China National Botanical Garden

South China National Botanical Garden is China's largest subtropical botanical garden, with around 5,000 plant species introduced from China and abroad. Small bridges, flowing streams and winding paths lead you through the grounds, and strolling through the woodland with birdsong all around is a real delight. Longdong Qinglin (Dragon Cave Verdant Forest) was once selected as one of the Eight Great Scenes of Yangcheng.
