Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park is located in a valley called Caiyang River, east of Jinghong District, Xishuangbanna, and north of Lancang River. It is about 8 kilometers away from the capital of Xishuangbanna Prefecture, and is the closest forest park to the capital of Xishuangbanna Prefecture. The forest coverage rate in the park exceeds 98%, making it a natural oxygen bar. The park has valley rainforests, peacocks flying, folk songs and dances, food, water splashing carnival and other projects. It is one of the largest comprehensive ecological tourism attractions in Xishuangbanna.

There are several scenic spots in the scenic area. The peacock release is spectacular and exciting, but it only takes one or two minutes; the ethnic instrumental music performance and the Aini Village are both good, and it is fun to participate in person, for example, I held the Hani girl's hand and danced two dances; the rainforest is not too big, but the bamboo roads near Section B are difficult to walk on. If you don't particularly like the rainforest, you can go straight to Section A; the jungle flying is quite fun, and climbing the rope in the middle requires a bit of courage and sense of balance.

Generally speaking, there are not many attractions to visit in the scenic area, but each one is ok. It is recommended to take an electric car because the distance between the attractions is still a bit long.

西雙版納原始森林公園位於景洪市以東8公里處,是景洪最大的綜合性生態旅遊景點,熱帶溝穀雨林、孔雀繁殖基地、猴子馴養基地、大型民族風情演藝場、愛伲寨、九龍飛瀑、曼雙龍白塔、百米花崗岩浮雕、金湖傳說、民族風味燒烤場等景點,坐電瓶車一站一站玩,令我印象最深刻的就是孔雀及大象表演,入園時注意表演時間即可。

It is not recommended to come here during the peak season, there are too many people and the transportation is inconvenient. The only bus is Z21, which is very infrequent during the Spring Festival. There is a long queue in the afternoon. The taxi driver said that taxis will not come here after 3 pm because it is too congested (it should be the peak season). The most worth seeing is the peacock release, but you can also see peacock release in the Big Buddha Temple. The rainforest area is worth visiting if there are not many people, but there are still many rainforests to visit in Xishuangbanna.

The primitive forest park closest to the city is really fun, but many people who come to Xishuangbanna will not go there, thinking that it is not worth it to just watch the peacock flying. In fact, there are many activities in it that some people don’t know. It is recommended that everyone must catch the peacock flying at 10 o’clock, and you can experience the subsequent activities without wasting time. Unlike Manzhang Village, which is only suitable for children, the primitive forest park is also very popular with parents. The high-altitude plank road here is about 40 meters high. Although it is not as high as the 60 meters of the Wangtian Tree, it is far more there after all. It is good for everyone to experience it. You can hardly see anyone playing this on the Internet. The tour guide sent us to the Rainforest Cultural Square and ended. This tour guide was from the Hani ethnic group and accompanied us for about 2 and a half hours. He did not explain as well as the Pu'er National Forest Park and Botanical Garden. The speed of speech was too fast, and he could only lead the way.

It is very unscientific that there is no walking path. It feels unsafe and inconvenient to walk on the road with the battery car. The park itself is very large, and the level of peacock release and folk activities is relatively high.

By Sunflowers have no dimples |

We bought the package of the original forest park ticket + battery car ticket + Jungle Leap B in advance, and picked up the ticket and signed at a small wooden house outside the entrance (i.e. the Jungle Leap ticket collection point). We planned to watch the peacock release at 10 o'clock. After picking up the ticket, it was almost time, so we ran to rush in. Fortunately, the peacock release was at the first point after entering the park, not too far away, and we arrived quickly. The actors were already performing the dance, and we found a place to stand and wait for the moment of the peacock release.

As the whistle blew, peacocks flew over from the opposite hill in batches. The scene was spectacular. The release lasted for quite a while, and there were estimated to be hundreds of peacocks. The breeder sprinkled food on the ground, and the peacocks rushed to eat. Visitors can also feed the peacocks for a fee. Several parents brought their children in to experience it.

Walk up a few steps to the battery car boarding point, get off at one stop, there are folk instrument performances and Aini Village. We went to Aini Village first, where tourists were organized to dance bamboo pole dance together, which was simple and interesting.

After the bamboo pole dance, we went to watch the musical instrument performance. Several performers were very talented. Some of them could play several instruments and sing. One of the ladies even performed with leaves. It was amazing. I don't know how a small leaf can play music. She performed very well and threw away the leaf after the performance. It was really an ordinary leaf. It was amazing.

Then we took the battery car to the next stop, which is the terminal. There are restaurants and some snack bars here. There is also a parrot show here, which is slightly different from the parrot show in Manting Park. Here, the parrots can stay on the hands of tourists for photos. Soon, we set off again, and what awaits us is the jungle leap.

The road next to it was under repair. You can enter the primitive forest trail by passing the store. There are some naughty monkeys on the trail. Walking along the trail, there are fewer people. The trees in the rainforest are very tall. You can't see the sun and it feels cold. After walking for a while, you can see the fork of A and B.

After walking for a while, we finally saw the entrance to the jungle jump. Some tourists sat here to watch, and sometimes we could see players sliding on the zipline or free falling. Along with the screams of the players, the watching tourists also exclaimed. I became more and more nervous, but my teammates were more relaxed. After a short rest, I mustered up the courage to enter the entrance. We stored our belongings, put on safety equipment, and climbed a flight of stairs under the guidance of the coach before we reached the real starting point.

The first section is the zipline. You sit down, stretch your legs, and start to slide. After you really start sliding, I don't think it's that scary, it's still quite interesting. There are several more challenging projects with different levels of difficulty. In general, they all went smoothly. In about an hour, we finished the entire jungle leap. It's a pity that the phone was saved, and there was no photo or video of the whole process. The official did not provide a photo service, so I had to keep the ticket as a souvenir.

It crosses the Nanban River in the south and is bounded by the Caiyang River in the north. The park covers an area of ​​26,310 acres, with a forest coverage rate of 98.6%. It is currently the best-preserved virgin forest south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its natural advantages integrate the magical natural scenery of the virgin forest and the rich folk customs, and highlight the three major theme features of "tropical valley rainforest", "wildlife display based on peacock culture", and "folk customs display based on the Hani and Aini people".

A must-visit place when you arrive in Xishuangbanna. It is recommended to go during the day!

By to be published |

The Tropical Plant Science Park is highly recommended for beginners. The highlight of the park is watching peacocks flying. When many peacocks come out of the cage, it is quite scary.

By 🌸Eni Cat🌸 |

I was going crazy! They directed me directly to the village! The locals said that the navigation would disappear after another 280 meters because this is the primeval forest...

By Star Kong 5 |

Walking through the primeval forest, I heard that if you are lucky, you can see wild elephants... Although I didn't see any. The elephant show and peacock show were great!

Endowed with life, it flies towards you regardless of wind and rain

By Indifferent |

It is worth a visit, very unique, the scenery is very beautiful, especially the peacocks flying inside are quite spectacular. It is the first time I have seen so many peacocks. The key is that they fly here and then fly back. There is also a jungle leap, which is also very fun.

By Understanding |

Don't go, it's a rip-off, there's no scenery, the scenic area is not perfect, the shuttle bus is 50/person, and you have to queue for half an hour each time you take it. It's hot and the elderly with children have to queue up. It's not humane. I don't dare to visit the scenic area at all. Queuing is already tiring and mentally exhausting. Tell your friends not to suffer this way.

By Nina |

In fact, it is similar to the one in Wangtianshu, except that there is a peacock release show and Aini Village.

By Riverside |

How can I put it? You can go on Line A, but the price is scary and it seems not worth it. But the most worthwhile thing is the peacock release! Although there are other scenic spots, this one is the best.

By China-TravelNote users |

I don't recommend going there. Only the flying peacocks are worth seeing. The so-called primeval forest doesn't feel like a primeval forest at all. The scenery is also very ordinary. The original costume song and dance performances were also cancelled. I feel the trip is a bit boring.

By Flying Sword Rain |

The scenic spot is average. After entering, there are charged items everywhere. After visiting the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is nothing to see here.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's not fun. It's called a primitive forest park, but the roads are all the way. I can't feel the atmosphere of the primitive forest. There's only a small section at the innermost part. I didn't experience it carefully before I walked out again. But I can't say it's boring. There are peacocks and various performances along the way, but for someone who just watched the bonfire the night before, it really has no attraction. Maybe it's too different from what I thought. I didn't feel like I was traveling through the primitive wilderness. I didn't try the jungle jump. Section A is boring and section B is a bit expensive

By snails |

It is very close to Gaozhuang, where accommodation is concentrated, and there are guides to explain it! Not far from the entrance is the 100-meter relief. Friends who want to know can wait until the end of the tour to watch it. The peacock release is okay, but when I went there, the peacock's tail was basically cut off, and I couldn't see the open tail. You can participate in the interactive activities of the Ai Ni village, the ethnic performance show is also very good (I feel that there are ethnic performances in the Xishuangbanna scenic area), there are also ethnic musical instrument performances at the waterfall, and you can see a lot of plants and landscapes in the valley rain forest. There are monkeys at the entrance. Of course, the main activity is the jungle leaping activity, the fee is calculated separately, and friends who like it can try it. It's pretty good. The activities in the water splashing square will be available after one o'clock! It feels very good to use, and I recommend everyone to go there

The value of the ticket to the primeval forest is all in the performance, it is not as dreamy and beautiful as imagined

By A shrimp |

In the primitive forest park of Xishuangbanna, I saw strange plants that I had never seen before. The growth of tropical plants often has extreme mutations and fusions. Although this is the case with all genetic mutations, unlike the norms and restraints of northern or subtropical plants, tropical plants have the same stimulating, aggressive and offensive aspects as the taste of local food. In addition to the big trees that extend from the ground into the sky, you will frequently see vines with huge thorns growing along the big trees and various plants, or wearing, winding or entwining, thick, enchanting and powerful. Looking at their swollen meridians and skin texture, it feels like they will come alive at any time. The director of "The Ruins of Terror" was probably inspired by similar plants, which led to the creation of this movie.

Too many people at tourist attractions will always ruin the good mood and coherent artistic conception of travel. Besides the fact that you can't take pictures of the original state and deepness of the forest, you are often pushed and shoved. On the way to Peacock Valley by electric car, you will occasionally run into a mother and son in the front seat. The mother scolded her son in dialect for about five minutes because of the tone of a sentence he said, and she scolded him until he fell silent, in order to correct the maternal authority.

By Ruoxiyue |

It's really good. I felt that it was not fun at first, but I found it was so interesting when flying over the jungle. We took the battery car up the mountain, and then walked down the mountain, so that we would not be too tired when going up the mountain, and we could also see the scenery along the way when going down the mountain. When we walked down, we found various plants, even the deadly strychnos nux vomica. The waterfall is beautiful, and the tropical valley rainforest is also very natural, but you can see some man-made objects. It's really fun to release the peacocks, especially when feeding the peacocks, these peacocks all pounced on them cleverly. Although the feathers on the tail have been cut off, they are still shiny and sparkling like diamonds. Anyway, I like it very much and I highly recommend itヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

Watching peacocks flying in the primeval forest, the rain stopped and the air was very good

By Chen Jing |

The whole scenic area is quite large, and we thought it should be no problem to walk down, so we didn’t buy tickets for the electric car. As a result, it rained heavily on the way back, and two people with one umbrella were almost half soaked.

There were indeed many peacocks at the place where the peacocks were released, but we watched them on the other side of the lake. When the peacocks flew back, they were all here, so we could get close to them!

As for wild monkeys, it depends on luck. I saw a lot of them when I went there, but there was not a single one when I came back. I guess they knew it was going to rain!

The primeval forest part is not very interesting if you see it by yourself. It is similar to other scenic spots, just a mountain path.

By Ning Xiaoxin |

The biggest feature of this primeval forest park is the peacock flying show. Living in the inland, the peacocks I have seen are all lazy in the zoo, and it is difficult to wait for them to spread their feathers. This is the first time I have seen flying peacocks, and there are many of them. Although they are not flying high, some are almost touching the water surface, but it is still very spectacular to see them head on.

By Hanhan |

I heard that the Running Man performed here, but it was so tiring that everyone was a little overwhelmed. So we went to watch a peacock show which was pretty good.

By Tu Xiaoyao |

The original forest park is not very big, but there are many mountain roads and the scenic spots are scattered. For example, the original forest is on the top of the mountain, so I still recommend that you buy a battery car package. The biggest highlight of the original forest park should be the Peacock Villa. Everyone came here early to watch the peacocks flying. I think it is quite interesting here. First, there is a performance of a Dai girl and a boy secretly in love, and then the peacocks fly down from the white tower on the top of the mountain. It is really the first time to see so many peacocks. I really want to raise peacocks like raising chickens. Originally it was not the right season, so we could hardly see the peacocks spread their tails, and the weather was cold in the morning so they did not spread their tails. But during the noon show, there were a few peacocks who really gave us face... The peacocks spreading their tails is really a beautiful scenery. The forests in Banna are really a unique local scenery. The dense vegetation coverage also allows those of us who often breathe haze to cleanse our lungs. There were not many people in the primeval forest in the morning. I saw the same sky bridge as the Parashorea chinensis. It was much shorter, but the artistic conception was still there haha. Big trees that you can't name can be seen everywhere. In front of the long and tall vegetation, you will feel how small you are... You can also watch the singing and dancing performances and the elephants spraying water performances for free in the forest park. Because we have seen them before, we just skipped these activities.

The chartered driver gave us the option of A+B for 420 yuan, including tickets, electric cars, 21 jungle leaps, 21 play nodes, and a simple meal. My companion and I chose tickets plus electric cars for 100 yuan per person (the price the chartered driver got for tickets was more cost-effective than buying online. Because it was raining more and more when I was halfway through the game, I was worried about safety issues, so I didn't finish the whole game and came back.

There are also various performances in the scenic area, and you can also participate in the water splashing carnival

One of the peculiarities of Banna is its climate. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it is sunny, so you should bring an umbrella, raincoat, and mosquito repellent. It is best to bring an extra piece of clothing for the children to be prepared. In the primeval forest, we were caught in sudden rain several times, but it went away quickly. Don't worry about the itinerary. Before you go, you can see the weather forecast saying it is raining every moment, and you may worry that your itinerary will be affected. However, the locals will tell you that this is how the rainy season is here. It rains for a while and then stops. It basically rains in the morning and evening. As long as it is not heavy, the scenic spots are open and will not delay your visit.

By Jack |

There are two new and old tourist trails in the primeval forest. We walked on the old trail, which was made of bamboo poles. It was light and comfortable to walk on. It took more than an hour to walk a circle.

There are many peacocks living near Jinhu Lake. When the breeder blows the whistle, these peacocks fly out from the opposite mountain forest, fly over the lake and look for food on the shore. The scene of peacocks flying is very spectacular.

Tips: The Primitive Forest Park is a worthwhile attraction, and I highly recommend it. There are ethnic minority villages and very primitive forests (beautiful, quiet, with gurgling water) in the scenic area. The tour content is also rich, with performances of peacock release, singing and dancing performances, a visit by the Hani people, bamboo pole dance, and zip lines.

By China-TravelNote users |

It seems that apart from the trees and forests not being commercialized, nothing else has much to offer.

By Zhao Zi~ |

It depends on where you are from. If you are from Fujian or Guangdong like me, I really don't recommend going. There are not many trees and landscapes in it. Except for the peacock flying performance and folk water splashing activities that seem to be meaningless, you can basically find other forest parks near home that have not been damaged or developed.

By First Mate |

Here you can ride elephants and watch elephant performances; you can also enjoy the dancing of butterflies; you can also feed birds and take photos with them. The full integration of man and nature made us slow down and enjoy it to the fullest.

Peacocks are released, making it a paradise on earth. Pick tea, taste tea, and buy tea in the Pu'er tea garden, and experience the sweetness and richness of Pu'er tea. In the evening, board the Peacock cruise ship to watch the magnificent Thai "shemale" performance.

By Smile |

The park is densely wooded. It was drizzling in the morning and a little damp, but the air was very comfortable and had plenty of oxygen. At the time, we were all thinking, how nice it would be if we could pack up the air and take it away...

By Hello, Reiko |

I still have some expectations for the primeval forest. I have loved watching "Man and Nature" and "Animal World" since I was a child. The experiences of scientists going on adventures in the primeval forest make people want to try it.

Natural oxygen bar! It is a special enjoyment, with lush trees and a unique flavor.

The park features valley rainforests, dancing peacocks, folk songs and dances, delicious food, water splashing carnivals and other activities.

By Douban Mommy |

My favorite was the peacock release. I watched it three times. Of course, it was the first time I knew that peacocks can fly.

By Summer Summer Summer |

After arriving in Xishuangbanna during the May Day holiday, the first place I went to was the primitive forest. It was really beautiful. Aini Village is very suitable for literary young people to take photos.

By 怪獸Suncy |

The highlight of the primeval forest park is the Peacock Flies Southeast!

That's right, hundreds of peacocks flew down from the hill in just over a minute.

I didn’t know much about peacocks before and thought they couldn’t fly high. Who knew they could fly down from the mountains? That must be very beautiful.

Many people gathered here to watch The Peacock Flies Southeast.

By Lazy Cat |

Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Park is located east of Jinghong and north of Lancang River, 8 kilometers away from the prefecture seat. It is the closest primeval forest to Jinghong City in the prefecture. The park was created on the basis of 25,000 mu of tropical valley rainforest. The forest coverage rate in the park exceeds 98%, making it a natural oxygen bar.

By hapiness |

Xishuangbanna Forest Park is the closest attraction to Jinghong City. The park has preserved its original natural features, with more than 50 attractions including a peacock base, a monkey training base, ethnic performance venues, and ethnic barbecue venues. "Running Man" also recorded an episode here.

The forest park is very large, so you need to take a battery car to visit. The park ticket is 65 yuan, children under 1.2 meters, seniors over 70 years old, or those with military officers and disability certificates can get free tickets; the battery car ticket is 70 yuan, and if you ask the driver to help you buy the ticket, you can get it for 40 yuan. The tour time is about 3 hours, and it is a very worthwhile attraction.

By Big Cat |

There is nothing here, just a crappy tourist attraction and a primeval forest. It's full of scams and people selling things everywhere. I wouldn't come here if I knew it was free.

Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Park is located east of Jinghong and north of Lancang River, 8 kilometers away from the prefecture seat. It is the closest primeval forest to Jinghong City in the whole prefecture. The park has the best-preserved tropical valley rain forest south of the Tropic of Cancer, peacock breeding base, monkey domestication base, large-scale ethnic performance venue, Aini Village, Jiulong Waterfall, Manshuanglong White Pagoda, 100-meter granite relief, Jinhu Legend, ethnic barbecue field and more than 50 scenic spots, which highlight the three major theme characteristics of "primitive forest, wild animals, and folk customs".

By A certain Xiaoding |

There is a strong commercial atmosphere and few attractions. There is nothing to see after a round. I don't understand why such a park is rated so highly. Are they all hired by the park? To be honest, just go to any hilltop and you will find it almost the same.

By Po Po Bear |

The main purpose of my visit to the Forest Park was to visit the Peacock Villa. I have loved peacocks since I was a child and I like to collect peacock tail feathers. The spectacular scene of releasing peacocks really made me wonder how there could be such beautiful birds. I was thinking that the first person who saw the peacocks perched on the trees would be stunned by this gorgeous and majestic beauty and think it must be a miracle!

By ∴Pepsi√Cola |

The peacock flying is very shocking, it is worth seeing! ! The other performances are very average~~ and the road to the primeval forest is too short, the scenery is not much~~ but it's not bad

By Alice-0628 |

We bought the tickets at the service center. After getting off the bus, there was an enthusiastic tour guide who took us on a tour. The explanation throughout the trip was very attentive. We also went to see the peacocks flying and the small village of the Aini people. It was very beautiful~

By Poppy |

The peacock show is very local. The primeval forest is a bit small, but the scenery and air are good.

By 蟲豸 |

Compared with Menglun Botanical Garden, the forest park is smaller in scale. It mainly includes: peacock release, Hani village, ethnic song and dance performances, and a tropical rainforest hike (part of the road was closed recently due to road construction). I am interested in the peacock release (I watched it twice) and the tropical rainforest hike.

#Primitive Forest Park#

Total distance: 9 km

Ai Ni performance

Peacock flying

Full walk

By Play with parents |

I personally think the Primitive Forest Park is OK. I came with my parents who are over 60 years old. My father has a senior citizen card and is free. My mother is over 60 years old and does not have a senior citizen card. She can get a half-price ticket with her ID card.

Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. There are many people traveling during the Spring Festival. There is a lot of traffic on the road. It is recommended that everyone go out early. We went out at 8 o'clock today. It was only a little bit of traffic jam. It was basically smooth. The ticket sales at the door are pretty good. There are also ticket sales at odd hours. Ticket purchase is also quick and convenient. It is recommended that you buy a full-time electric car for 50 yuan, because its journey is a bit steep, it is a hillside, and it is a bit strenuous to go up the mountain. The electric car is also well planned. Every scenic spot will stop, and there will be a bus stop for getting on and off. Of course, the most worthwhile thing to see is the peacock release (very shocking), which happens once every hour, but if you miss the time to see the peacock release when you enter the park, please take the electric car directly up and go to the scenic spots on the mountain to play one by one. Finally, take the electric car directly from the scenic spot above to the peacock release, because it is only 200m away from the exit.

Today we danced the bamboo pole dance in Aini Village, watched folk dance performances, water splashing performances, peacock release, and visited the tropical rain forest. I think my parents were very happy, so it was worth it for me!

Xishuangbanna has China's only tropical rainforest nature reserve, with a warm and humid climate and lush trees. It was raining when we went there...

By Flower Interpretation |

The main thing is to watch the peacocks flying, there is nothing else to see, there are some performances of ethnic minority musical instruments, and there are other places, but the oxygen saturation in the forest is very high, walk more in it, and you will feel refreshed.

By After dinner |

I don't know if it's the wrong season, most of the peacocks have convex tails, they fly high, and they look a bit miserable when they fall! In addition to the valley rainforest, there is a feeling of primitive forest, but unfortunately you can only walk one section, and the other section is not open for some reason. Other scenery can be seen everywhere in Yunnan, so Yunnan friends may not come! In comparison, the performance in the rainforest square is better! The price of food and drink inside is three times that of outside.

By Ann 💋 |

It was just so-so. The local tour guide was nice. He kept introducing the attractions and we had a lot of fun chatting. The attractions themselves were not worth seeing. The peacocks released by the peacock troupe had no hair... There were really a lot of them. I don't recommend you to take photos with elephants. It's really pitiful. Every time someone goes to ride, the elephant will be hit a few times. Ai Ni Village, the suspension bridge and the primitive forest hike are the places where people take more photos.

The original forest park is 20 yuan from Century Jinyuan Hotel in Jinghong City by taxi, and 5 yuan per person by city bus. The original scenery of the forest is indeed very comfortable, but when I went there, one of the two routes was closed for some safety reasons, so the whole tropical valley rain forest that can be visited is relatively small. There are programs for tourists to participate in the village and the cultural square, various ethnic characteristics of the Hani and Dai people, and the release of elephants and peacocks did not have much impact on me. It only took me three hours to walk the whole way.

I didn't save many good pictures. It's really a conscientious recommendation. Of course, for me, a northerner, I really like tropical plants. I can only see them with my eyes. My skills are limited and I'm not good at cards. Moreover, many plants are too big to be photographed at all.

Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park not only has beautiful tropical rainforest natural landscapes, but also offers folk cultural experiences such as peacock release, jungle crossing, and folk customs. The experience content is very rich. From the guide I checked before going there, the attitude towards this scenic spot is mixed. From the actual situation, the impression of this scenic spot is indeed heavily influenced by the subjective emotions of tourists. In essence, this is still an old-fashioned scenic spot, but if the projects it provides happen to meet your needs, it is also great.

There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area, and it is recommended to take them. If you can buy sightseeing bus tickets together, you can get cheaper tickets. On the way to buy the sightseeing bus, someone will pull you over and ask if you want to buy a ticket to take the bus. They can help you to form a group. Whether to wait depends on your personal situation. If you are not in a hurry and there are a certain number of people, it is okay to wait. The sightseeing bus driver will check the time and recommend whether to visit the first attraction, Peacock Villa, to watch the performance first, or go directly to the top of the mountain to tour from top to bottom.

Overall, I think this scenic spot is a bit awkward and I don't recommend it. You can get a schedule of performances in the scenic area when you enter the gate. Take the cable car at the entrance to the first stop where the peacocks are released. Take some photos nearby first, then find a front row seat and wait for the peacocks to come. The performance lasts about 10 minutes.

After watching the performance, we felt that there were many tourists gathered in an instant. If we took the bus to the next stop, there would be so many people, so we took the bus directly to the last stop - the primeval forest. I was full of expectations for this area. After entering, I found that it was not very big, and there was a piece blocked, so we were not allowed to enter. Well, it was really boring, so we only took 20 minutes to get out. In the entire scenic area, the most people should be Aini Village, and the bridge at the entrance is more beautiful. There is nothing much inside, just someone will lead everyone to dance ethnic dances, and you can also experience bamboo pole dances, be careful not to pinch your feet~Haha, we also caught up with the folk instrumental performance. When we arrived, the time was just right, so we also watched it. In fact, there was nothing, but it was quite fun when the host interacted with the audience, just watch it for fun.

The tropical rainforest is beautiful, and the ethnic minority villages are also worth visiting.

The performance was worth it, peacocks flying, ethnic minority dances, and jungle leaping, which was very exciting

By China-TravelNote users |

To be honest, I was a little disappointed. The tour route to the original forest was very short and lacked highlights. The peacock release was pretty good.

By Little girl |

The overall environment is good and worth seeing. The peacock flying is very unique. This is the largest peacock breeding base in China, with a lot of peacocks. It is very beautiful to see so many flying. You must go during off-peak hours. There are a lot of tour groups in the Dai costume show, and the quality is very low. It is recommended to avoid it. There is nothing good about this show. The host speaks with a northeastern accent, and the dancers are not Dai, not ethnic actors. This kind of dance is not as good as watching TV. The peacock flying is worth seeing. That's it. The primeval forest feels good

The sight of flocks of peacocks flying down from the mountains is truly stunning.

The air was so nice. I chatted with the local tour guide along the way and got to know many plants that I don't usually see. I learned a lot. The tour guide arranged a picnic in the forest with the locals. The chicken was so delicious, the pork was fragrant and chewy, and there was also a soup made from a local plant. It was delicious and refreshing. It was unforgettable.

Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Park is located east of Jinghong and north of Lancang River, 8 kilometers away from the prefecture seat. It is the closest primeval forest to Jinghong City in the prefecture. The park was created on the basis of 25,000 mu of tropical valley rainforest. The forest coverage rate in the park exceeds 98%, making it a natural oxygen bar.

The park features valley rain forests, dancing peacocks, folk songs and dances, delicious food, water splashing carnivals and other attractions. It is one of the largest comprehensive eco-tourism attractions in Xishuangbanna.

The fashionable lifestyle concept with nature, ecology, environmental protection, leisure and health as the main elements is reflected through the ethnic New Year Culture Season in winter, the Peacock Culture Season in spring, the Rainforest Culture Season in summer and the Ethnic Costume Season in autumn.

It's very average. Netizens said that you must play for 2 days. I don't know why they wrote that? It's mainly a tropical rainforest. The tour bus only takes 2 hours to visit. There is nothing worth lingering. Many cities have such leisure places, free of charge! No wonder there are so few people. I feel very disappointed compared to my imagination!

It has the flavor of the Yunnan tropical rain forest, with many small insects and beautiful scenery.

There were fewer people in the morning when we came, but there were a lot of people at noon when we left. The parking lot was full. We walked through a section of the primeval forest. It was cloudy and rainy, and there were still few people. There were six of us in a group, which was very scary. If I were alone or with two people, I would not dare to walk because we had to leave at 11 o'clock. So we took a battery car to visit the primeval forest, Aini Village, and finally came to the place where peacocks were released. I felt that the only interesting thing about this attraction was the performance. There was nothing else except the performance. So it was much worse than the Wild Elephant Valley and Manting Park I went to yesterday. It was not worth coming at all.

It is not recommended for tourists from other places to visit this attraction. There is nothing special and nothing fun. The peacock performance is a bit interesting, but you have to calculate the time to go. If you miss it, you have to wait for an hour.

It is indeed a primeval forest, but there is a road right next to the forest, so you can just take a look. I feel that Xishuangbanna is more famous than it actually is, and is not as good as I imagined.

By 🔓Yuqiong☑️ |

Don't be fooled by the good reviews above. This park has been planned for too long and is outdated. There is no need to go there. You just spend money to see a mountain that is not beautiful at all... Don't be fooled by the scenery you learned in textbooks when you were a child. I don't know what to take pictures of.
