Challenge Tropical Rainforest Exploration | A visit to the Sky-Viewing Tree Scenic Area in Xishuangbanna

During our few days in Xishuangbanna, one of our favorite places was the Sky-Viewing Tree Scenic Area Located in the national nature reserve of Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province It is also the only tropical rainforest in China that is recognized worldwide We first take a 4.2 km boat ride, then arrive at the entrance Inside, you can experience a 36-meter-high treetop walkway See the rolling, endless tropical rainforest Learn about many tropical rainforest plants and phenomena, such as strangulation, single tree forest, plate-shaped roots, epiphytes, etc. There is also a 3 km and 2 km rainforest trail The most shocking thing, of course, is the Sky-Viewing Tree The Sky-Viewing Tree rises from the ground, much taller than other trees, with a community height of over 60 meters, and the tallest one is over 80 meters The Sky-Viewing Tree is the tallest tree in China and a symbolic structure of the tropical rainforest. It is indeed shocking when you see it in person The scenic area is quite suitable for bringing children 🌳The treetop walkway is a must-experience, which is actually connected by steel cables and chains between several large trees There are ropes around for protection, the highest is more than 30 meters We can also look at the distant rainforest from above People with acrophobia may be scared, but it is very safe This unique experience can only be appreciated when you are on the aerial walkway 🚙Next, we also like off-road vehicles, the coach will teach how to ride in advance, get familiar with it and then hit the road Although the speed is slow, the mountain road is not difficult, there is a coach car in front all the way The ride is bumpy, but the rider is very happy. About 30 minutes back and forth 🌈Strategy tips: 👉Location: Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest National Park·Sky-Viewing Tree Scenic Area Located in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna 🚗Self-driving from Jinghong City takes more than 2 hours 🎫Sky-Viewing Tree online ticket purchase 170/person, including admission + one-way boat + treetop walkway Rainforest crossing all-terrain vehicle 260/vehicle, seating two people The scenic area will use a drone to shoot videos when you walk the treetop walkway, if you want it's 90 yuan/section, basically 30-50 seconds, if you walk fast, you get less 😢 ⌚️Enter the park at 8:30 in the morning ‼️If you go to the seafood market to buy, it will be cheaper~ If you only drive to the navigation visitor center, do not navigate to the No. 2 parking lot, even if you arrive, you will not be allowed to park, you must go back to buy a ticket for the boat
