Xishuangbanna is the southernmost
Thirteen species of wild life enjoy state protection, including lions, the gibbons, the red-necked cranes, the brown-neck horn-bills, and the green peacocks, which to the Dai people are a symbol of peace, happiness and good fortune and whose graceful postures can put professional dancers to shame. The region has 5, 000 kinds of plants or about one-sixth of the total in china. This has earned it the renown and sobriquet "the moonstone on the crown of the kingdom of plants".
Among these are such fascinating ones as the "color-changing flower" whose colors change three times daily and the "dancing herb" whose leaves rotate gently. Then there is "mysterious fruit" which reverse tastes, turning sour to sweet.
