Looking up at the sky tree

Going to Yunnan, the young man wants to go to Xishuangbanna, I want to go to Shangri-La. I think he will be satisfied and I will be happy too. I searched hard online and found the sky tree, the only tropical rainforest in China recognized by the world. I chartered a car from Xishuangbanna to the Mengla 'Sky Tree' scenic area, a one-way trip of 140 kilometers. The comfortable and economical way is to take the high-speed train directly to Mengla, and then take a taxi to the sky tree. It was drizzling on the day we entered the park, and there were very few people. The sky trees are straight and smooth, estimated to be 40-70 meters tall, almost piercing the sky. The sky tree in my imagination is like a baobab tree with jackfruits hanging on it... The canopy walkway is 36 meters above the ground. The canopy walkway is a passage like a small suspension bridge with ropes on both sides and wooden planks in the middle for one person to walk. I walked holding the ropes alternately with both hands. Because it was raining and there were few people, if there were many people, the shaking and screaming would echo through the forest. I never dared to take pictures with my phone downwards, fearing that I might drop it out of nervousness. The scenic area has many huge trees, strange trees, beautiful and peculiar flowers. Along the way, I dreamed of encountering a herd of wild elephants. The road we walked on was said to have been passed by a herd of wild elephants a few days ago, who had gnawed on the farmers' corn.
