Lushan Botanic Garden of Lushan Global Geopark was named San Yi Xiang Basin-firn geologically. This firn basin was named by J. S. Lee, a famous geologist and the originator of geo-mechanics in China. The rich soil and gentle slope made it a paradise for plants. Therefore in 1934 the site was chosen for a botanical garden. It was the first sub-tropic alpine botanical garden in China.
