Qionghai City in China's island province of Hainan has emerged as a global showcase for tropical agriculture, with a sprawling 67-hectare fruit park boasting over 1,200 exotic plant species. The site, dubbed a 'kingdom of tropical fruits,' highlights Hainan's subtropical biodiversity while reflecting China's agricultural modernization efforts through international crop exchanges.
Developers designed the park as both an ecological tourism destination and a living laboratory for sustainable farming practices. Visitors can explore rare fruits like Malayan rambutans and Philippine durians cultivated under climate-controlled domes, offering insights into adaptive agriculture in warming environments.
The horticultural innovation hub aligns with Hainan's broader economic strategy to position itself as a free trade port. Its debut precedes the fifth Hainan Expo (April 13-18), where provincial leaders will discuss green development models with international partners. CGTN plans live coverage of the expo's opening ceremony, showcasing Hainan's transformation from tropical retreat to global trade player.
