It is convenient to reach by transportation, 10 kilometers from the city centre. It was founded as a research base in 1984 by Sichuan Provincial Institute of Natural Resource Science.

The Botanical Garden is a collection of subtropical plant germplasm resources. We work on the conservation, monitoring and evaluation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of plant resources. As of 2015, more than 2,000 subtropical plant species are under ex situ conservation within the garden. Among these, 127 are rare and endangered plants, 108 endemic plants, 81 plants of Emeishan.
