Climate environment
The average elevation in this area is 1500-3000m, with fertile land and warm and humid climate. Long-term sunshine in subtropical areas makes there enough sunshine to promote the growth of various plants. The change of monsoon belt in Southeast Asia makes it a dry and wet season. In summer, the southwest monsoon brings a lot of hot and humid water from the sea, forming a wet season when there is abundant rainfall, and in winter, the dry and cold monsoon belt in the north affects the formation of a dry season. This periodic change regulates the rhythm of local creatures.
The climate with long sunshine, low latitude and high humidity in Southeast Asia is very conducive to the growth and reproduction of animals and plants, which in turn forms a unique local rainforest climate and causes biodiversity here.
