东莞植物园占地的面积7000亩，3000＋的自然植物品类 —— 前身1958年成立的东莞县国营板岭林场，橡胶是当时林场的主要收入源，时代变迁，经历几次更名，终于在2006年与绿色世界城市公园合并更名为东莞植物园，成为东莞城市中的一片生态热带雨林。
The Dongguan Botanical Garden covers an area of 7,000 mu, with over 3,000 species of natural plants. Its predecessor, the Dongguan County State-owned Banling Forest Farm, was established in 1958, with rubber as its main source of income at that time. Over the years and through several renamings, it was finally merged and renamed Dongguan Botanical Garden in 2006, becoming a tropical rainforest ecological area within the city of Dongguan.

兰花园。这里的花草树木渴求着水汽的滋养而惧怕无情的烈阳。遮天蔽日的“原始森林”里。
Orchid Garden. Here, the flowers, plants, and trees crave the nourishment of water vapor while fearing the relentless sun in the overshadowing "primeval forest."到处是从未见过的长着奇异板状根的巨树、不可思议的老茎杆上的花果、巨叶植物、会运动的植物等各种奇花异果、自然奇观,应有尽有。
Everywhere are never-before-seen gigantic trees with strange board-shaped roots, incredible flowers and fruits on ancient stem stalks, large-leafed plants, moving plants, and various extraordinary flowers and fruits—all creating a myriad of natural wonders.
