An encounter of elegance in Yunnan rainforest
While you are wowed by a potpourri of tropical and subtropical plants, a variety of other rainforest inhabitants, ranging from snakes and lizards to frogs and crabs, spiders, caterpillars and butterflies, may come to say hi, too.
"Aside from appreciating the biodiversity along the hike, tourists can also see the Pu'er tea farms of the Jinuo people and learn about how they used to hunt and gather to sustain themselves in the rainforest," said Chen.
After hiking about one kilometer, you arrive at the campsite, which is a pocket of flat land close to a colossal strangler fig that stands more than 60 meters tall. You can try to scale the fig like Tarzan, with the assistance of the onsite coach to gain a broader view of the forest from a higher position.
