The Most Rainforest

By creating landscapes, we aim to create the largest existing fern plant, the spiny fern, the oldest seed plant on Earth, the cycad, and one of the most easily seen ginger plants in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. The oldest surviving seed plants, such as cycads, can be traced back to the peat period about 350 million years ago, with most of their existing fossils dating back to the Permian period 280 million years ago. Cycas, along with dinosaurs, once dominated the Earth and witnessed the changes of the world through the vicissitudes of time. There are over 20 species of Cycas in China, and their rarity is comparable to that of giant pandas.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.
