The Mori Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is located on the Ruili side of the border between Luxi, Ruili, and Longchuan counties, approximately 5 kilometers northeast of Ruiwan Bridge. It is a natural forest oxygen bar with high levels of negative oxygen ions. Mori, also known as "Zhaduo," is said to be a place where the Buddha fasted and bathed in the hot springs, leaving behind a large footprint. To commemorate the Buddha's presence, descendants have adopted the Indo-Pali name "Zhaduo," which translates to "the Buddha's footprint."
The main attraction here is a combination of native tropical ravine rainforest vegetation and waterfalls. With towering ancient trees and dense forests that block out the sun, the area boasts over 1,500 species of wild plants and 479 varieties of flowers and spices, earning it the nickname "paradise on earth." Surrounded by mountains on three sides, a flat area of nearly 10 mu (approximately 16 acres) awaits. A few dozen meters from the main gate, you'll find a pool of hot springs, each a foot deep and crystal clear. Legend has it that this was once a bathing pool built by wild elephants for the Buddha.

Admission to the area is 50 yuan per person, 25 yuan per person for those over 60. The scenic area features a combination of native tropical ravine rainforest vegetation and water features such as rivers, waterfalls, and hot springs. Within the area, there are numerous unique rock formations, towering ancient trees, gurgling streams, tranquil temples, curling incense, vibrant flowers, and warm hot springs. Home to nearly 400 species of wildlife and over 1,500 species of wild plants, it's a natural forest oxygen bar high in negative oxygen ions. Unfortunately, there aren't many visitors. Peacocks roam the parking lot, and I'm always worried about bumping into them when parking. Turkeys flutter their wings and patrol the nearby lawn. The yellow cicadas are delicate, the blood amaranths are dazzling, and there are countless unknown plants, making it feel like a botanical treasure trove.
The Ruili Mori Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is a natural oxygen bar. The air is fresh and refreshing, and every step feels like breathing pure oxygen. The high level of negative oxygen ions is so high that you'll instantly relax. Hiking along the forest trails is incredibly relaxing, and the lush greenery will make you forget all your worries. A 20-minute walk will take you to Mori Waterfall. Covered in rainforest, the area boasts an innumerable variety of flora, including wild plants and flowers, strangler vines, and tree-encircled rocks. It feels like stepping into a primitive adventure film, and every photo is a masterpiece. The Buddhist relics are also unique, with clear footprints left by the Buddha, and the temples are bustling with activity. However, the rainforest scenery is similar to that of any other scenic area. The entrance fee is 35 yuan, making it a worthwhile trip. The route between Mangshi and Ruili passes through this area, but there's no public transportation, and you can't drive via the highway, so you'll have to take National Highway 320. Arrive early to avoid the crowds and enjoy the birdsong.
It is not recommended to visit this scenic spot. The only attraction is the waterfall, which is relatively small.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air here is fresh, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, the plants are rich, and the vegetation is good. It is worth a visit
The Moree Tropical Rainforest is not far from G320. The scenic area has a pristine ecology: tall trees, blooming flowers, cascading waterfalls, and fresh air, making people linger.
The so-called free interpretation service provided in the scenic area is actually just asking people to buy small wooden plaques to pray for blessings. The scenic area is very ordinary... 50 yuan for a ticket is not worth it.
The first attraction we visited in Ruili was this tropical rainforest. The air was fresh and at the end was the Mori Waterfall.
I was born and raised in Tengchong, and I'm quite familiar with the tourist routes, attractions, and folk customs of Tengchong, Mangshi, and Ruili. Tengchong is a health resort paradise with blue skies and white clouds every day, where volcanoes and hot springs coexist. Tengchong, the first city on the extreme border, Mangshi, is a prefecture-level city inhabited by the Jingpo and Dai ethnic groups. Going there is mainly to experience the ethnic customs and unique ethnic characteristics. Ruili is famous for its border characteristics. There is an old saying that describes Ruili like this: when you arrive in Ruili, it's like having one foot in China and one foot in Myanmar! If you want to visit Tengchong, Mangshi, and Ruili, please contact me! We mainly have sedans and commercial vehicles. Charter one of our cars to take you on a different tour of Yunnan! Contact number: 15025086036, Master Long
The management of the scenic area is rather chaotic, the roads are narrow and there are many cars, and we were stuck for a long time before we could enter the scenic area.

I really like this kind of pristine natural scenery. Walking around, taking photos, and drinking a glass of avocado juice is pretty good! After returning home, I even mailed avocados to the little girl at the scenic spot (foodies, please stay) for the second time!
Leaving Dushuchenglin, continue along National Highway 320 towards Tengchong for about 7 kilometers to reach the Zaduo Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area. Its primary landscape features a combination of native tropical ravine rainforest vegetation and waterfalls, boasting over 1,500 species of wild plants and 479 varieties of flowers and spices, earning it the nickname "paradise on earth." Walking about 2 kilometers upstream along the stream, you'll reach the Moli Waterfall, where a curtain of water rumbles down from a cliff over 50 meters high.
It is the primeval forest of Mori Falls, which is quite large.
The editor made a mistake and it should be the Moree Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area
I remember coming here as a kid, it was incredibly hot and humid. Luckily, I'm from the south and can handle the heat. There are some cool, cool places to hang out, but there are a lot of bugs here, so be sure to be careful.
Don't buy anything, just take a stroll, it's still beautiful.
I went there during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2016. This place can only be reached by charter or self-drive, preferably from Ruili, then to the rain forest, Wanding, and finally Mangshi. This is the best waterfall in western Yunnan. The scenic area can be walked through in two hours, and there are also dead leaf butterflies.
Although they are all man-made attractions, they are still worth a visit.
The tropical rainforest is nice. There is a waterfall at the end. There are lush vegetation along the way and many novel and interesting plants.
They are all man-made attractions. People used to cut down trees, chop big dragon bamboo, and hunt in the mountains. They walked all over those mountains. No one lives in the mountains. There are only house foundations left over from who knows how many years ago. There are traces of farming, but they are all grown up by tall trees. There are only uninhabited forests and wild animals. There is no trace of Buddhism. The stories that were compiled are all lies.
There are no special tropical plants, nothing to see, the ticket office is not very standardized, there are no discounts posted, and no one reminds you that it is more expensive to buy online
Ruili Tropical Rainforest is a representative example of scenic beauty, a quintessential mountain and water experience. Enjoy the beauty of the Ruili River, see waterfalls and unique plants, visit ethnic and religious buildings, and savor tropical cuisine. Clear springs cleanse the mind and body, while the forest oxygen bar soothes the weary soul. This is a tranquil and secluded scenic spot. Some illustrated resources also refer to it as the Mori Tropical Rainforest.
A classic worth visiting, it is completely worth the ticket. The tropical vegetation inside is also very rich, the air is good, and the waterfall is spectacular
This scenic spot is worth visiting and has beautiful scenery, but once you enter the scenic area, they tell you that you buy a 50 yuan ticket with a free tour guide. After thinking about it all the way back, I realized it was a scam. I hope everyone doesn't fall for it. The tour guide will take you to the temple and see the master. The master will ask you to buy incense and light lamps based on your age. I think it's okay to worship Buddha and be respectful to the Buddha, but it's inappropriate to take advantage of people's respect for the Buddha and ask them to offer lights for 599 yuan and burn incense for 399 yuan. I couldn't refuse at the time. The tour guide said that the worship first was free and then the master would give words of advice. This process had already been completed, so I went along with it... I also remind everyone to be careful of the shops selling medicinal herbs in the garden. Those who understand medicinal herbs can go there, but don't be fooled!
This scenic spot is a great stop on the way from Tengchong to Ruili. It's not a large area, and the entire experience should take no more than two hours. Its highlights include the Mori Waterfall and the lush greenery, creating a natural oxygen bar. It's highly recommended for a breath of fresh air. Walking the trails is a must for even more breathtaking views. Admission is 50 yuan per person, and upon entering, the guide will proactively explain that the entrance fee includes a 15-minute tour of the scenic area. It actually starts at the entrance, explaining a few attractions, and ultimately leads you around the temple, where you make a wish, donate some money, and burn some incense. Having read about this tactic in the guidebook, I was wary. When they tried to pull us into the temple, I politely declined, refusing to go in and taking a detour. The guide's face was practically green, but there was nothing I could do. I was worried about my wallet, so I ran away.
The Zaduo Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is located in the Moli Canyon off Ruili National Highway 302 in the Mowen section of Ruili City, Yunnan Province. Because of the Moli Waterfall, it's also known as the Moli Rainforest Scenic Area. Funded by a Taiwanese businessman, the area's most spectacular attraction is the Moli Waterfall. Admission is 50 yuan.
Before leaving Ruili, we decided to stop by Mori Waterfall. However, after buying our tickets and entering, we were tricked. A guide suddenly appeared and offered to show us around. We walked all the way inside, and when we reached a local temple, they took us inside to worship and visit. They then gave us zodiac cards and said we could have the monk explain our zodiac signs to us. All we had to do was say thank you. We listened to the monk's explanation. Afterward, he wrote something on a piece of paper and told us to leave. Someone at the entrance showed us the paper and told us to buy incense. They said it was voluntary, but they kept pushing us to buy one. They said one was 99 yuan, and then they insisted we buy two for 199 yuan, saying one was not good. They kept insisting we buy more. My friend said we didn't have any cash, but they said we could pay by credit card. The four of us were ripped off 900 yuan, and after leaving, we lost all desire to explore the area. While the scenery was beautiful, the people were wicked.
I won't go into detail about the tropical rainforest scenery. The arduous climb to Moree Falls completely dispelled my fatigue. I hadn't been expecting much, but I discovered how special it was.
Spectacular, rich in negative oxygen ions, walking in the rainforest does not feel tiring
The scenery is quite nice, with various tropical plants along the way and a large waterfall at the end.
The scenery of the tropical rainforest is pretty good. The waterfall is not as big as I imagined, but I still got wet when I walked to the edge of the waterfall! The free guide in the scenic area took me to the temple to pray and donate incense money
There are not many attractions to see in Ruili. The scenery here is really a pure natural landscape and it is worth visiting.
Leaving Mangshi, heading to Ruili, take the G56 Hangzhou-Ruili Expressway first, get off at Wanding, toll 45.6, then follow the navigation to the Morizaduo Tropical Rainforest. Admission is 50 yuan, and parking is free. Perhaps because it's off-season, there are few tourists and little to eat. The only open eatery serves clay pot rice noodles or Ershi (rice noodles), which are reasonably priced at 10-15 yuan per bowl.
The tropical rain forest makes people feel relaxed and happy as soon as they step into it.
You need to charter a car to get there. There is no bus nearby. It is a tropical rainforest.
The scenery is so beautiful, I want to go again
There are many local specialties
Worth recommending
The subtropical forest is so bad, I don't know where the rain forest is. The free tour guide takes you to the temple to donate merit and then leaves. I saw a girl crying because she was cheated at a shopping spot in the scenic area. . . It is not worthy of being a 4A scenic spot at all.
Its real name is Moree Rainforest Falls. The scenery is nice and worth a visit!
Important things, I say them three times!!! [Don't buy anything from that jewelry store at the Wishing Bridge! Don't buy anything from that jewelry store at the Wishing Bridge! Don't buy anything from that jewelry store at the Wishing Bridge!] Especially the beeswax and wooden bracelets over 200! They're selling a 200 yuan bracelet for 4,000! The beeswax is fake! Also! [The place selling the medicinal herb Dendrobium officinale after you cross the bridge is also a scam! They're scammers! They're scammers! They're scammers!]
Ruili is a must-see destination. Dense rainforest blocks out the sun. A winding path leads to the Mori Waterfall. Although only 60 meters high, standing beside it still offers a sense of majestic power.
The scenic area is large and there are many attractions in the primeval forest, which is worth visiting.
The scenery of the tropical rainforest is very beautiful, but the public services are a little poor. Some service stalls in the scenic area sell medicines and ask for unreasonable prices. If you are not careful, the local stall owners will beat tourists, which is uncivilized.
Mori is also known as "Zado". According to legend, the Buddha once fasted and bathed beside the hot springs here, and later left a huge footprint. To commemorate the Buddha's visit, later generations called this place "Zado", the Indo-Pali word for the Buddha's footprint.
Every mountain and every forest has its own flavor.
The architecture and customs here are very similar to those in Thailand. You can come here to pray. You need to be barefoot and take off your sunglasses and hat when entering.
There is a Buddha inside who will read your face and then ask you to donate some money for incense or something, but you don’t have to donate if you want to.
There are tropical slippery grass vegetation along the road. Don't touch the plants on the roadside. Some plants are highly poisonous. It is very quiet.
Moree Waterfall cascades down from a cliff over 60 meters high. Although it is not as spectacular as the Huangguoshu Waterfall, it is still quite unique in such a tropical scenic area.
Now I only remember that there were big trees and the ground was slippery due to the rain. A small episode was that a butterfly also landed on the porter and didn’t leave for a long time. I wondered if it was his lover in his previous life.
Walking into the Mori primeval forest, you will be surrounded by thousands of tropical and subtropical plants that block out the sun. Following the thin stream in the canyon, you will walk for about 1,700 meters through the rainforest where there is no sunlight. When you reach the end of the canyon, you will hear the sound of thunder-like falling water. Your horizon will suddenly open up, and you can see the sky again. You will also see a huge waterfall pouring down from a 60-meter-high cliff. This is the Mori Falls.
The rainforest is definitely worth a visit! ~Plenty of oxygen! ~~
The tropical rainforest has many trees, is very humid, and is super beautiful. There are also many flowers and various strange plants. It is worth a visit.
When we arrived at the Mori Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area, a waiter took us to the Buddhist temple behind the white elephant. Before entering, he told us that we could pray for peace and any amount of merit and fee was fine. But it turned out that it was not the case at all. Oh, forget it, just think of it as praying for peace!
After about an hour of walking along the mountain path, the view suddenly opened up, the sky was visible again, and a massive waterfall cascaded down a 60-meter cliff, with a roaring sound. This is Mori Waterfall. Entering Mori, thousands of tropical and subtropical plants shade the sky, and a stroll through them is refreshing. This is a natural forest oxygen bar with the highest negative oxygen ion concentration in China.
Apart from the fact that the mountain path was not easy to walk on and was a bit slippery, and the climb was quite tiring, we stayed here for about two hours.
Mori Waterfall is also known as Zaduo Waterfall. The clear spring water cascades down from a 60-meter-high cliff, forming a scene of "water cascading like cotton, scattering on its own without the need for a bow", like a huge piece of white silk dancing in the air against the wind. Snow flies and clouds surge between the high peaks and cliffs, and the sound is like thunder. Hot springs gush out under the waterfall, and the landscape is very unique.
Zaduo Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area, Ruili, Yunnan.
Also known as the Mori Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area, it is located near the China-Myanmar border at Wanding Port.
It is similar to the Xishuangbanna tropical rainforest, but different. It is worth a visit anyway.
It really is a tropical rainforest, but it’s not as hot as in Xishuangbanna, probably because it has just rained.
The Moree Scenic Area is completely in the style of a tropical rainforest. The main attraction of the scenic area is the Moree Falls, but the waterfall is very small and there is nothing to see.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Not far from the gate into the canyon, you can see a pool of hot springs with clear water.
As a Ruili native, I've been there from the days when the attraction had no admission fee, to the days when locals charged 5 yuan per person, to the days when the company contracted out tickets for 20-30 yuan per person. As a kid, I'd go there on outings, bringing food with me. Back then, the roads weren't built, and the arduous climb up to the top and then the hearty meal were such a delight. Watching the waterfall while eating was like heaven for an active foodie, hahaha. Later, after the company took over, they built some public facilities along the way, which certainly added to the scenery, but also diminished the original beauty. This attraction is a must-see in Ruili.
It is indeed worth a visit. You can feel the breath of nature. The air is really good.
Further ahead, you'll find a primeval forest, home to many protected plants, trees, and animals. Beside the forest lies a crystal-clear stream, traversed by a dozen simple wooden bridges, some arched, some parallel, some cylindrical, and others in a variety of shapes. After an hour's hike along the mountain path, punctuated by a variety of bridges, the view suddenly opens up, the sky is visible again, and a massive waterfall cascades down a 60-meter cliff, its roaring water amplifying. This is Mori Falls.
Walk on the not-so-rugged mountain road, breathe the refreshing air of the tropical rainforest rich in oxygen ions, and follow the sound of water to visit the Moree Falls.
It is worthy of being a subtropical rainforest, not bad! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Thousands of tropical and subtropical plants cover the sky. The original ecology here is like walking in a primeval forest. It is well worth a visit.
The pristine forest has excellent vegetation coverage and many unique plants. People can enjoy hiking and enjoying the scenery, which is a very relaxing experience. The only problem is that the tour guide service is too commercial. It's said to be free, but once you reach the temple at the foot of the mountain, the explanation starts... well, everyone understands, but thankfully it's not mandatory, so there's no explanation at the end.
My sister highly recommended the Mori Scenic Area, saying that Mori is a tropical botanical park with beautiful scenery. We would like it very much, and it is indeed the case.
Mori's ticket was also 50, and he tried to bargain but failed.
The scenic area is actually not very big, but the trees inside are all tropical rainforest plants, which are very different from the temperate plants in the Northeast.
The Mori Rainforest Scenic Area (ticket price 50 yuan) was funded and built by a Taiwanese boss. The largest landscape in it is the Mori Falls, which is quite spectacular. Friends who have not seen the tropical rainforest can go and have a look.
This is the only highlight in the entire scenic area. If it weren't for the Mori Falls, this place would only be considered a natural oxygen bar.
The mountain is not very high, and there are green trees all along the way, so the air is quite good. It didn't take long before we saw the waterfall, which was okay, not very spectacular.
Mangshi and Ruili are full of banyan trees, and with them, you'll find many sights like trees hugging rocks and towers. Mori wasn't crowded during the National Day holiday, so our family was the only one on this forest trail. The weather was perfect the day we visited Mori Waterfall, and a beautiful rainbow formed beneath the falls! Mori Waterfall is definitely worth a visit. Beyond Mori are the Jielejin Pagoda, Dushuchenglin, and Wanding Bridge, all worth a visit for photos.
After walking along the mountain path for about an hour, the view suddenly opened up and we could see the sky again. We also saw a huge waterfall pouring down from a 60-meter-high cliff with a roaring sound. This is the Mori Falls.
Walking into Mori, you'll be greeted by thousands of tropical and subtropical plants lining the sky, leaving you feeling refreshed and refreshed. This is a natural forest oxygen bar with the highest concentration of negative oxygen ions in China.
This is a great scenic spot with affordable tickets. The area is natural and has beautiful tropical scenery. It only takes an hour or two to see everything, but it's well worth it. You'll need to drive to get there. The road along the river is not in good condition.
The waterfall in the Moree Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is not very spectacular, but the entire rainforest is lush with vegetation, towering trees, clear streams, and fresh air, which is refreshing.
The Mori Scenic Area is renowned for its breathtaking natural and cultural landscapes, as well as its Buddhist sanctuary. The gurgling Zaduo River meanders like a jade belt through the deep mountains and dense forests. Small bridges traverse the clear water, creating a simple and elegant scene. Stunning rocks and grotesque formations rise steeply, while waterfalls cascade down like silver threads. Dense forests and towering ancient trees preserve dozens of rare plant species, including the large-leaved banyan, fine-leaved banyan, tall banyan, seven-petaled lotus, the "forest demon" strangler vine, and the tree fern, known as a "living fossil over 100 million years old." Besides free-range animals, the scenic area also boasts wild boars, bears, elk, pythons, peacocks, elephant chickens, and green monkeys. Furthermore, the legendary "Buddha's footprint" beneath the giant feet of Sakyamuni, the Buddha's holy water with a surface temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, and the dazzling golden bronze Buddha statue attract countless devout believers. This is a poetic painting of harmony between humanity and nature.
Although the water flow is not very strong, it is already refreshing. There are not many tourists, so you can take photos leisurely and go to the big rock in front of the waterfall.
Walking along the lush forest road, breathing in the moist air, my heart was moved when I saw the Zaduo Waterfall. The water droplets from the drop were so refreshing.
The Mori Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is located on the Ruili side of the border between Luxi, Ruili, and Longchuan counties, approximately 5 kilometers northeast of Ruiwan Bridge. Mori, also known as "Zhaduo," is said to be a place where the Buddha fasted and bathed in the hot springs, leaving behind a large footprint. To commemorate the Buddha's presence, descendants named the area "Zhaduo," the Indo-Pali word for the Buddha's footprint. The scenic area boasts towering ancient trees, flowing streams, and a cascading waterfall at the end of the canyon, creating a truly breathtaking natural oxygen bar.
