This is Xishuangbanna's only 5A scenic spot. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy plants. It's best to visit with a guide; it's hard to appreciate on your own. The west section has more flowers, while the east section is a forest park, so you can choose whether to visit it or not. I really enjoyed it here.
This scenic area is well worth visiting, divided into two areas, the east and west, with the core attractions in the west. The Royal Lily Pond, Palm Garden, and Exotic Flower Garden are all beautiful. Many rare plants and flowers can be seen in the garden.

The Wild Elephant Valley is a small scenic area, but it features elephant shows, feeding opportunities, and close encounters with the elephants. The high-altitude elephant viewing path offers a stroll through the mountains and rivers. Visitors can also experience the rainforest elephant herding experience, where mahouts interact with elephants in the rainforest, feeding them, taking walks, and other activities.
It's great. Although the only part worth watching is the imagination show, it is still worth going. After all, you can't see elephants in other places, and they are wild elephants.

It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip. Thanks to Ctrip for arranging it. The free day on the last day was like an extra day of leisure time because our flight was late. The hotel had average reviews online, but I thought the transportation was very convenient. We visited most of the planned attractions. It was a very happy time with the Luo family.
There are lots of performances every day, and it's always fun when I bring friends from other provinces. You just have to immerse yourself in it, hahaha.
Nowadays, many buildings have restaurants (specializing in their respective ethnic groups), which is quite fun. You can enjoy roasted milk fan in the Bai village, and there are Dai-style restaurants in the Dai village. Restaurant prices are generally comparable to those outside the scenic area, so they're very affordable.

The scenery of the primeval forest is nice, there are primeval forests everywhere, and there are many physical examination projects. I watched the peacocks flying, experienced the Dai delivery, water splashing carnival, bamboo pole dance, etc. It felt good!
Stunning natural scenery: As soon as you step into the scenic area, you feel like you've stepped into a vast natural oxygen bar! Take a deep breath, and your lungs are cleansed by the fresh air. Entering the valley rainforest, towering ancient trees block out the sun. You can witness "living fossils" that have thrived for over a million years. Dozens of meters tall parashorea chinensis reach the sky. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a breathtaking "forest light." The dappled light and shadows create stunning photos.

The park is large, but not many fun places to visit. Avoid the Lotus Pond train; it's too expensive and not worth it. Several attractions offer water splashing activities, but this one is the most crowded. Find a seat in advance, or else you'll have to pay 88 yuan per person to go up to the second floor. The shower and storage fees aren't worth it. The crowded and narrow aisles leading to and from the water splashing square are unbearable.
The Dai Garden is really worth the money. You must participate in the water splashing feast at the water splashing square. The speedboat at the border pier will definitely exceed your expectations. The undercover captain is a happy brother who is very good at creating an atmosphere. The 35-minute journey is simply exciting. It is especially recommended to bring boys to experience it.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and discover nature on a hike in the Jinuo Mountain rainforest.
The total distance is 5 kilometers, 2 kilometers by land and 3 kilometers by water.
Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the rainforest's flora, fauna, environment, and ways of life.
Dressed in a "savage costume," we experienced rainforest river tracing, high-altitude swings, tree abseiling, archery, and a rainforest feast, including sour ants and wild Sanya fruit (Banna's version of mangosteen).
For families with young children (under 10 years old), we recommend booking a private tour with an experienced indigenous guide, who can provide one-on-one support for the children.
Summary: Recommended family itineraries
The Rainforest Walking on Mount Keno is a journey of depth and pristineness. Along the winding path into the forest, you can feel the breath of trees with a strong earthy and plant aroma. The canopy is dense, the light is mottled, and the pace is slow on the soft, wet leaves. Along the way, you will pass by suspension bridges, streams and waterfalls, each like a natural punch point. Occasionally, you can hear the chorus of birds and insects, and the foot sounds intertwined with natural rhythms, so that people can immerse themselves in it. Guides guides the hard-to-find wild plants and fungi, which are a fun to explore on foot. What impressed me most was an open viewing platform, where the valleys, rainforests and distant mountains were clear and the view was wide and quiet. The wetness of the rainforest and the refreshingness of the mountain breeze make the whole experience both relaxing and exhilarating. This hike is not a simple walk, but a rhythmic exercise in dialogue with nature, and the body and mind are re-adjusted by the forest.

It's fun. You can get very close to the animals. Each animal is fed and looks very pretty. If you have the chance, you can take the kids there. Although the area is quite large, you can take a sightseeing bus.

What's in the zoo?

Took my sister to the zoo for a day. The giraffe cafe was a mess all afternoon. You can even pet the tiger cubs. I recommend traveling off-season to avoid the agonizing lines. You must take the sightseeing bus. Listen to the advice.

The experience was great. We were able to touch and interact with various rare animals up close, learn about many rare plants, and participate in experience activities. Sun River Forest Park is worth a visit for children!
The whole experience was very comfortable. It's right in the mountains, winding through the rainforest. The scenic bus goes up the mountain for a while and then you can see all kinds of small animals. There's a scene every few steps, which is very interesting for children. You can pay to interact with the small animals up close, and everyone can arrange it reasonably. Overall, it's quite good.

I highly recommend the Jianshui meter-gauge train. Tickets must be booked on Ctrip at midnight three days in advance, and it's best to book a morning train. The train stops longer at noon, allowing time for shopping, dining, and rest. The scenery along the way is stunning, especially for the elderly and children, as you don't have to walk. It's highly recommended.
It was fun, the kids loved it. The parking time was short, and we had to leave before we had enough photos. It was not appropriate for Tuanshan Residence to charge extra. There was nothing fun, we had to park for so long, and there were not enough places to eat, so we ate in a hurry.

The best place to get to know a local is through a museum. Yunbo Museum is right next to Guandu Ancient Town. We went in the morning and it was quite crowded. Our tour guide said it was even more crowded in the afternoon, probably because many people visit Yunbo Museum before heading to Guandu Ancient Town.
The guide was very good! He covered six historical museums in two hours and covered almost all the important cultural relics. Yunnan's historical relics are very interesting. I benefited a lot and will come again next time!
