Cycads belong to a group of remnant seed plants which are called living fossils. They are of great importance for study on paleoclimate, paleogeography and flora evolution in addition to their horticultural ornamental and economic values. Almost all cycads have been listed as key protected plants.

Covering an area of 3.2 ha, the Cycad Garden is home to most of the cycad species native to China and some species from other tropical regions.
