After breakfast, we'll journey deep into the rainforest, accompanied by a private guide, to discover hidden gems of the rainforest. Slow down, embrace the forest, and feel the rhythm of nature. Trekking through the rainforest is a truly remarkable wilderness experience. Experience the Rainforest Crossing Adventure, where you'll observe the rainforest's inhabitants through a short jungle trek. Discover the parasitic plant Stairway Grass, resembling staircases, ferns resembling bird's nests, and a host of fungi and insects lined up to welcome you. Beside a clear stream, a massive, thousand-year-old banyan tree opens its arms, inviting you to climb with the ease of Mount Tai.
At lunch time, we will prepare a [Rainforest Wild Food Feast] using local ingredients, such as bamboo and holly leaves from the rainforest, to cook ingredients picked from the tropical rainforest. We will use large banana leaves as the table and enjoy a primitive jungle feast beside the gurgling stream, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
丨Fruit Manor/Transform into a fruit hunter to explore tropical fruits
Depart at the perfect time for a fruit farm, where the owner cultivates over 80 varieties of tropical fruit. In addition to the common mangoes, pineapples, and bananas, there are also lesser-known fruits like miracle fruit, sugar apples, goat's milk apples, and sapodillas. Eight to 12 different varieties are available each season. You'll follow farm staff into the fields to learn about the cultivation and growth of various fruits, witnessing them hanging from trees rather than lying in boxes. When you find ripe fruit, you can pick and eat it immediately, fully enjoying its freshness and experiencing fruit freedom. Upon returning from the orchard, enjoy a fruit feast (including authentic Yunnan afternoon tea) and marvel at the bounty of tropical produce.

Nanla River Rafting: Enjoy the rainforest in a different way. In winter, the Nanla River is a vibrant green, and the rainforests along its banks remain lush and verdant. The temperature difference between morning and evening often creates a layer of advection mist on the river surface, seemingly hanging between the rainforests. Hop on a small boat and leisurely paddle across the calm waters, weaving through the trees on both sides.
