A small introductory lecture and immediately brisk step into the forest to explore the national Park! Ahead of a fascinating journey of several kilometers. The guide tells about the diversity of the local flora and fauna. After all, only in Primorye - leopards, tigers and bears roam among the trees, some of which grow only in the harsh climate of the North, and others exclusively in the hot tropics.

Guide: "we have a legend that explains the diversity of our nature. When God sowed the planet, he poured out seeds on every continent, intended only for this continent. And when he found out that the Primorsky territory was not sown, he just turned out all his pockets and poured the seeds here. And now because of this in our territory grow representatives of the flora of southern and Northern latitudes. Such as cedar and Amur grapes".

Determine which plant which correspond: flower, leaf and fruit. And this stand presents a variety of tree trunks. Perhaps the most interesting is the Amur velvet it has a unique soft bark.
