How to Visit
1
Buy the cart if you want the full route
The park climbs away from the gate, and walking beside the vehicle road is hot and inefficient. The cart makes the rainforest route much easier.
Tip:Skip the cart only if you actively want a long walk.
2
Arrive before a peacock-release show
Go to the lake area early and take a place before the peacock-release performance. It is the most time-sensitive stop in the park.
Tip:Crowds gather quickly before showtime.
3
Continue up to the rainforest area
After the show, use the cart to reach the rainforest culture area, then walk the gorge and forest paths for strangler figs, vines, and monkey areas.
Tip:Use non-slip shoes because rain makes paths slick.
4
Choose adventure projects deliberately
Jungle zipline sections and ferrata-style activities cost extra and need more energy. Choose them only if you have time after the main route.
Tip:The higher-intensity sections are not for every family.
5
Finish before transport gets busy
The park is close to Jinghong, but taxis and shuttle queues can build near closing and after popular shows.
Tip:Agree on pickup if you came by private driver.
Highlights
- Closest rainforest-style park to Jinghong city
- Peacock-release show as the main visual event
- Rainforest walking route with vines, ravines, and monkey areas
- Optional adventure products for active travelers
- Good half-day choice when Wangtianshu is too far
Insider Tips
✦Use the sightseeing car unless you specifically want a long hot walk.
✦Bring rain protection and non-slip shoes in wet weather.
✦Keep food away from monkeys.
✦Check show times at entry before choosing the route order.
✦Expect a managed scenic park, not untouched rainforest wilderness.
