(250606) -- WUZHISHAN, June 6, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This undated file photo shows a Funaria hygrometrica in the Wuzhishan section of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park in south China's Hainan Province. The island province of Hainan has a unique ecological environment that provides an excellent habitat for many species and serves as a biodiversity hotspot in China.

The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, for its part, is among China's first batch of national parks, and boasts one of the country's densest, most intact, and most contiguous tropical rainforests. Straddling nine cities and counties, the park covers roughly 1/7 of the total land area of this island.

Wu Wanli is a staff member of the Wuzhishan branch of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Management Office. Though a veteran photography enthusiast, Wu did not realize until May 2024 that he was deeply charmed by macro photography.

There are exceptionally abundant creatures suitable for macro photographing in the park. Day or night, rain or shine, he could always find himself "surprised" by the "photogenic" creatures there. The macro photography practice has also brought him rich knowledge in biology. (Xinhua)
