During the National Day Holiday, over 37,000 tourists came to XTBG to enjoy beauty of nature and charm of plant arts. Many popular science activities like leaf rubbing, plant jigsaw puzzle game, and sightseeing XTBG in the evening were warmly welcomed by tourists, especially by kids.

Through plant jigsaw puzzle games, kids got a chance to know the towering trees, fascinating bat flowers, mysterious orchids, showy torch gingers, etc.

 

Plant jigsaw puzzle games

Leaf rubbings are a fun, inexpensive, and very attractive craft that allows kids to explore cause and effect while discovering textures and creating art all at once. The kids collected a variety of leaves and put them on a hard surface, then put a white paper on the leaf, and use a crayon or pastel on its side and gently color on the layered paper over the leaf. Their works became an unforgettable memory in the forms of T-shirt or handkerchiefs.

Sightseeing XTBG in the evening also won wide participation among the tourists. Twinkling fireflies, singing frogs, and the moonlit sky all made the tourists too delighted to leave.
