What do you know about national parks? Are they the same as the common ones?
National parks are much bigger and they give a safe home to plants and animals. They help keep the environment clean. They are also great places to travel to. You can see colorful plants and wild (野生的) animals there.
China now has five national parks. They keep nearly 30 percent of the important wildlife species (物种) safe in China. Let's take a look at three of them.
Park I | It is the largest national park in China. It is much bigger than Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It is home to the sources（发源地）of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. It's also home to hundreds of animal species. |
Park II | More than 70 percent of China's pandas live there. There are more than 1,600 wild pandas in China. The park joins 82 small panda homes in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu together. Pandas and some other wild animals can live and play together in the park. |
Park III | It has the largest tropical forest in China. The forest covers nearly 74 percent of the park. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. There are 35 Hainan gibbons（长臂猿). They are the only members of the species in the world. And Hainan's three highest mountains are also in the park. |
