Catch the Details in the Forest

#china #yunnan #xishuangbanna You can be forgiven for always looking down to watch your step in the Primeval Forest Park, or by looking up at the canopy high above your head, but we found real joy in exploring the details. When we took time to look, we saw a butterfly with wings camouflaged like a leaf just emerging from its cocoon! Our favourite part was pointing out all the houseplants we have at home in their natural habitat.

This forest hasn't changed in 10,000 years

The primeval forest park in Jinhong, Xishuangbanna was probably the coolest place we visited on our trip. Its a true natural wonder of Yunnan and reflects how the province has been for all of ancient history until humans arrived. The forest park has several different attractions including an aquarium, a peacock show lake, a minority ancient village, a waterfall, a high ropes course and a monkey Grove and walkway. The flower bridge walkways in the pictures were really fun and well decorated. We watched people zip lining past us as we walked. The monkey Grove was also really nice. You can buy slices of banana to feed to the monkeys and they sit on bouncy bamboo sticks and catch the food thrown to them. The bamboo walkway was very long and hot but worth it to really get to see the forest up close. #nationalpark#naturalwonders

Primeval Forest Park - Xishuangbanna

I definitely recommend you to spend an afternoon at the Virgin Forest Park! Here’s some information: “Xishuangbanna Virgin Forest Park includes a peacock reproduction facility, a monkey domesticating base, a large stadium devoted to ethnic activities (the Garden of Ethnic Cultures), and a number of ethnic dwellings displaying the living habitats, the implements and the utensils unique to each ethnic group. There are some 10 ethnic minorities, here, including the Dai, the Hani, the Bulang, the Jinuo, the Lahu, the Wa, and the Yao, whereof the Dai is the largest, comprising one-third of the population.” Once you reach the top of the mountain, you can participate in a water fight. A friend and I participated and it was a blast!!! I highly recommend it! #ThisIsChina #yunnan #xishuangbanna #china #travel #exploreasia

Mekong River; China edition

Having traveled several south east Asian countries, when you conjure up ideas of the Mekong you think, floating markets, and small fishing villages, but that mighty river has to begin somewhere, and of course the source is China, and this aquarium takes an in depth look at marine life in this extensive river. Having taken a taxi to what I thought would be untouched rainforest, I was sold multi enterance tickets. Intrigued, I followed the signs and found myself in an aquarium, much of the notice boards were in English, which I loved, and seeing such a large array of fish, in comfortable tanks was wonderful. I learnt a lot at this aquarium and would highly recommend. #aquarium #underthesea #mekongriver

Wonderful Aquarium. Mermaid show.

Getting There - 5km from Jinhong Attractions - Aquarium and forest park Hotels - None Food & Restaurants - Lots of local food and coffee Shopping - souvenirs Tourists visit a newly-opened freshwater aquarium at the Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park in Xishuangbanna, southwest China's Yunnan province on January 5, 2020. As the first of this kind in China, the aquarium is home to native freshwater species from the Mekong River, freshwater fish species from the Yangtze River and other rare amphibians. I was really impressed with the clean and high standard living conditions for the fish and reptiles. A little difficult to find your way around inside as not many English signs. There is also a 7,D cinema which is well worth doing, kids will love it.

Lost in the primitive forest of Xishuangbanna, the jungle leap is thrilling

Thick and dense primitive vegetation covers the area, and it's close to the city, only a 15-minute taxi ride costing around 20 yuan. Moreover, it's not tiring to play around. The nearest showtime in the Forest Park is shown in picture 4. Highly recommended tips: 1. Be sure to take the electric car, be sure to take the electric car, be sure to take the electric car (except for those who like walking). The round-trip ticket for the electric car is only 98 yuan, there's really no reason to walk so much! Besides, there's not much to see on the way, saving energy for climbing the valley later is better. 2. Pay attention to the showtime, it's better to watch the first show 'Flying Peacock' first. The 'Flying Peacock' show is beautiful, and it's right at the entrance, next to the electric car boarding point. After watching, you can take the car up the mountain. So, it's best to arrive at the scenic spot at 9:30 or 11:30. Personally, I think 9:30 is better because it's cooler in the morning! Also, when we left at 12:30, we found that there were more people going up the mountain than in the morning. 3. Here's the key point! Since the show only lasts 20 minutes, I personally think it's better to stand at the back to watch the show. Not only is the view wider, but the main thing is that you can quickly walk to the electric car boarding point when it ends. Otherwise, if you wait for everyone to crowd over, you might have to queue for about 20 minutes. 4. Be sure to take the electric car directly to the end. The middle stop is for ethnic musical instrument performances, don't get off, watch it on the way back, because if you get off, it will be hard to get back on the car. The end point is the entrance to the tropical valley rainforest, which is a square with performances and water-splashing entertainment (see picture 4 for the schedule). 5. After entering the valley rainforest, the first place is for feeding monkeys, where there are places selling monkey food (bananas). If you bring your own, you are not allowed to feed them. I watched people feeding monkeys for about half an hour, it was quite interesting. The mountain path inside is also easy to walk. Since we didn't plan to play the 'Jungle Leap' adventure project, we chose route A and walked a short distance, took some photos, and then returned the same way.

Per capita 1000 yuan for a 5-day 4-night trip to Xishuangbanna

✅ Xishuangbanna 5-day 4-night itinerary ✨✨ Day 1: Direct flight to Banna—Stay at Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (Starlight Night Market) Day 2: Wild Elephant Valley (intimate interaction with baby elephants)—Primitive Forest Park (peacock release) Day 3: Dai Village (experience Dai life)—Manting Park (connected to the General Buddhist Temple) mainly for photography Day 4: Tropical Flower Garden—Mengle Great Buddhist Temple Day 5: Return home If the itinerary is tight, focus on Wild Elephant Valley. The Botanical Garden is personally more attractive, while the others feel similar. Note ⚠️ Some tourist attractions in Xishuangbanna are relatively far, so it is recommended to book a carpool in advance. Be sure to use physical sunscreen when going out, as there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening. The hotels in Gaozhuang have a high cost-performance ratio. We stayed for a little over 100 yuan, and the rooms were quite large. The prices at the Starlight Night Market are relatively high and not cost-effective. The barbecue near Gaozhuang is not recommended; it is expensive and not tasty. There are many photo spots near Gaozhuang, and the prices are similar. Excluding transportation tickets, the average daily expense is within 200 yuan, including entrance tickets.

Traverse the emerald-like tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park

Step into Xishuangbanna's Primitive-Forest-Park, and it's like entering a green ocean. The trees soar into the clouds, and the poison green flows between the woods, refreshing the mind. This place is located in the Caiyang River Valley, surrounded by 98.6% forest, and is one of the best-preserved primitive forests south of the Tropic of Cancer. In this magical natural world, you can feel the mysterious charm of the tropical valley rainforest, appreciate the splendor of peacock culture, and experience the warm customs of the Hani-Aini people. The summer sun filters through the dense leaves, casting a kaleidoscope of light and shadow. Monkeys frolic in the woods, and peacocks spread their wings and dance gracefully, as if in a fairyland. Being there, I felt the gift of nature and the beauty and miracles of life. Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park is a staunch guardian of China's tropical rainforest nature. Every plant and tree here tells the miracle of life. Let us cherish nature together, feel the power of nature, and let our souls be cleansed in this pure land. Come and join me in this emerald-like tropical rainforest to discover a different kind of beauty. Like this post, because beauty is worth recording!

Listen to the story of love at the Original Forest Park | Xishuangbanna Station

| Xishuangbanna Station. The Original Forest Park in Xishuangbanna is the last stop on our journey. It is a natural oxygen bar, with a forest coverage rate of over 98%, making it a paradise for exotic flowers and trees. Insects and animals, as the 'indigenous residents', perform the way of survival in nature in the forest. This is one of the well-preserved primeval forests south of the Tropic of Cancer and also a primeval forest close to the city. There are many entertainment projects and activities in the park, and it is recommended to take the shuttle bus, with scenic views at each stop, and move on to the next after having enough fun. If you want to see the underwater world of the Mekong River, you need to buy a separate ticket. In the park, you can also see peacocks that have 'sneaked out'. Walking across the Hani people's Wishing Bridge, you come to the Aini village, where you can experience the Unity Dance and the Clip-clop Dance, which are relaxing and fun. The Aini people are a branch of the Hani people, with a population of about 190,000, all concentrated in Xishuangbanna. The Aini people in Xishuangbanna are actually self-proclaimed Hani people who have migrated here and can be considered a branch of the Hani people. The Aini people revere black, 'regard black as beauty', and avoid white and even numbers. Their clothing is also mostly black, decorated with a little lace, and women bind their legs with black cloth after reaching adulthood. After resting in the Aini village, we went to Jinhu Lake to watch the peacocks fly. There were so many people. It was good to have a view from the stands, but it was hot and sunny. It was better to stand outside the crowd, where it was cooler and not so hot. At Jinhu Lake, the touching love story of the Peacock Princess is performed every day. With the melodious melody, hundreds of peacocks fly together, which is very spectacular. 📍 Xishuangbanna Original Forest Park 🎫 Entrance ticket: 34r/person 🛺 Electric cart: 60r/person

The Xishuangbanna primeval forest that blew up my social circle is here!

🌴Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Adventure Log🌴 👣One second ago, I was in the bustling city, and the next, I stepped into a green fairyland. Yes, this is the beautiful tropical treasure of our country—Xishuangbanna! This time, I made an appointment with a few friends to come to this mysterious primeval forest and started an unforgettable adventure. 🌳As soon as I entered the forest, it felt like being in a huge green air conditioner. The towering trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight scattered on the ground through the overlapping leaves. The ground was moist, filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. 🌱 In this place, we also encountered many tropical animals and plants unique to this region. Playful monkeys were jumping from tree to tree, lazy pandas were lying in the shade to cool off, and birds of various shapes were singing cheerfully on the branches. 🦁️🐵🐦 💦️The forest is rich in water resources, with clear streams running through the entire area. We couldn't help but scoop up some water to taste this natural spring. The babbling streams seemed to be telling the story of this land. 🌊 ⛰️Following the winding path, we climbed all the way to the top of the forest. Looking around, the greenery was lush and the spirit was lifted. At this moment, we seemed to be standing in the embrace of nature, feeling joyful. 🏔️ 🌈Xishuangbanna primeval forest, a place full of vitality and vigor. This adventure made us deeply feel the magic and wonder of nature. We must cherish this precious natural resource, protect this oasis, so that future generations can also appreciate its charm. 🌎 🎉Finally, we captured this unforgettable adventure with a group photo. Xishuangbanna, see you next time! 👋🏻📸

The most worthwhile place to visit in Xishuangbanna is the Original Forest Park

Where is the most worthwhile place to go in Xishuangbanna, it is recommended for everyone to go to the Original Forest Park in the suburbs for fun. Here the tickets are cheap, 45 yuan for adults, half price for the elderly and students, and the round-trip electric sightseeing car is only 60 yuan, and the whole journey takes about 3-6 hours. The scenic spot is located on National Highway 214, only 8 kilometers away from Jinghong City, and it is very convenient to drive and charter a car. There are plenty of parking spaces. It is a tropical rainforest park with peacock culture as the folk core. The first stop is the Peacock Manor on the shore of Jinhu Lake. There are six most popular Dai dance performances every day. Afterwards, hundreds of peacocks are released from the valley to forage. The flocks of peacocks fly over the lake, which is very shocking. After the performance, tourists can also go down to feed the peacocks and take photos with the peacocks. The second stop is the ethnic customs area. After passing a suspension bridge full of wish locks, you can go to Aini Village to participate in dance activities. Everyone forms a circle to dance the unity dance and the foot dance. It is available all day, with a lively atmosphere and full of fun. In the morning and afternoon, you can also watch a performance of ethnic minority musical instruments at the nearby Jiulong Waterfall, but you need to plan your time well. The third stop is to walk in the tropical valley rainforest. You can first take your children to the monkey garden to watch the monkeys flying up and down and laughing. You can also feed the monkeys and interact. The monkeys here are very clever and catch them directly by hand. Walking into the original valley rainforest, the azure sky makes the tropical plants in the scenic area look greener. The ancient trees are towering, the vines are entangled, the shade is covered, the negative ions are very high, and it is a natural oxygen bar. The tropical valley has a large loop of 3.8 kilometers and a small loop of 2.5 kilometers. Walking in it, if you are lucky, you can see hornbills, peacocks and many other wild animals in this tropical jungle. Young people who like challenges and excitement can participate in the jungle leap and high-altitude plank road in the tropical valley rainforest. You need to choose the project that suits you according to your own physical strength and courage. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours and the experience is very strong. The Mekong River Underwater World at the entrance of the scenic spot, friends who want to play can also try before leaving the scenic spot.

The Primitive Forest Park is the most satisfying attraction during my seven-day trip in Xishuangbanna

Go: It is recommended to take a taxi, a little over 20 Ticket: 45r Battery car (round trip): 58r (cheaper online) If you want to play very smoothly, it is recommended to arrive around 11:40 to watch the 12:10 performance, or arrive around 14:00 to watch the 14:30 performance :First of all, the battery car is very worth buying. Some guides said it was unnecessary, but I disagree. Because the three points of play are gathered at the three stops of the battery car, the road is uphill and downhill, and the repeated trees and boring roads, there is no need to waste your energy on this After exchanging tickets at the entrance, next to it is the underwater world of the Mekong River. If you want to play, you can try it, it's cheaper online (we didn't go) The first point inside is the peacock flying show, which lasts 20 minutes. The performance is first, then the release. The scene is very shocking to the naked eye, but if you don't have a professional camera, you probably won't be able to take good pictures After watching, hurry up and queue up to take the battery car to the next point. The second point has two interactive projects and a national musical instrument performance (all free). After getting off the car, on the left is the gate tower and the long bridge. Inside is the Ai people's interaction. After waiting for enough people, the little brother will adjust the atmosphere and lead everyone to dance and play the toe-clipping game. I think it's very interesting and the atmosphere on the spot is great. On the right hand side after getting off the car is the national musical instrument performance venue. Next to it is a small waterfall. While listening to national music and watching national dance, you can enjoy the coolness brought by the waterfall. It's super happy to sing: Then take the car to the next point, which is also the end: the water splashing performance and the place for dancing. The atmosphere is super. After watching the performance, spray a fine mist of water while dancing. After the dance, the host will remind the water-playing buddies not to splash water on those who don't play, and also limit the venue. The atmosphere on the scene is very happy Finally, going to the upper right corner is the Jungle Leap project. We didn't find this point at the time. Many people say that the experience is great, but this is an additional consumption, about 160, depending on your choice :Why do I say it's the best, first of all, the ticket is worth it, there are three free performances, four free interactions, just buying a ticket is very happy. Secondly, there are free seats!! And the performance is equal to all beings, you don't have to pay more money to have a better experience, and then the interactive atmosphere is very good, whether it's the Ai people's games or the water splashing and dancing, the MC's hosting ability is strong, even I, who has a weak sense of participation, went in to play. Finally, I really like the environment, whether it's the scenery on the road, the environment construction of the rest area, or the waterfall next to the performance, it makes me feel like a famous scenic spot should be :In short, highly recommended Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park
