Have you ever heard of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park? It is our own “Amazon（亚马逊雨林）”. If you travel there， what can you enjoy?
Animals
The park is home to Hainan gibbons（长臂猿）. They look like monkeys， but have no tails. They eat fruits and leaves from over 130 kinds of plants. In the 1980s， there were fewer than 10 gibbons in the park. In 2022， there were 36 because people protected their homes and planted trees.
Plants
The park is a “live museum” of plants. It is home also to 133 kinds of national key protected plants. Cycas hainanensis（海南苏铁）is an example. It has big， feather-like leaves. It grows slowly， but can live as long as 200 years. It probably won't grow flowers or fruits in North China. But in Hainan， cycas hainanensis over 10 years old blossom（开花）and bear fruits almost every year.
Culture
Miao and Li people have lived in the park for generations（世代）. Their houses look like upside-down boats. They are built above the ground to keep away animals. Li people make clothes from bark（树皮）. Their history of tree bark clothing dates back（回溯）to about 10，000 years ago. Some people still use bark clothing nowadays.
