The South China Botanical Garden was founded in 1929 by Chen Huanyong. It occupies an area of more than three hundred hectares, on which there are about four thousand different species of plants. The Botanical Garden is under the auspices of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On its territory there is a research center, which is engaged in research in the field of ecology, botany, breeding, plant resources, biotechnology, landscape and landscaping. In addition, the Botanical Garden of South China is the main site for experiments in borrowing, domesticating and growing rare plant species.

The Botanical Garden is located near the Lunyan Cave, in the northeastern suburb of Guangzhou. The whole territory is an open museum of tropical and subtropical plants, which contains rare specimens from around the world. Inside the area is divided into several sectors: palm plants, rare endangered species, bamboo grove and medicinal plants. In addition, the entire territory of the botanical garden is divided into three zones: open exhibition areas with playgrounds, a research center with a residential complex for employees and a management and leadership center.
