Hainan, China's southernmost province, is rich in flora. The Hainan Tropical Botanical Garden in Danzhou City is one of the best places to go for interesting plants. While most of China is still in winter, such plants as the red powder puff flower and the Chinese knotweed are thriving in the warm wind and sunlight on the tropical island. CGTN Nature will explore this kingdom of plants in tomorrow's livestream. Stay tuned for more about those magical plants.
