🏕️ Must-Visit Attractions
👉 Cloud Sky Road feels like stepping into a fairy tale, while Bashang Nalati's grassy slopes are incredibly soft. The wildflowers of Grassland Altay stretch all the way to Cloud Theater - your phone storage won't be enough for all the photos!
👉 Jungle Tribe is irresistibly fun! Enjoy panoramic views from Cloud Pavilion, watch flower fairy performances that seem straight out of paintings, and interact with enthusiastic Wa ethnic performers. The treetop walk offers mild thrills, the colorful suspension bridge is wonderfully relaxing, and finally riding ponies through the forest is pure joy
👉 Forest Ranch for animal therapy! Must-try alpaca afternoon tea - these fluffy creatures will come begging for treats. Dining with deer who gently lick your hands will melt your heart~ Enjoy NPC interactions, take lakeside train rides to admire Agate Lake, or try tea picking for ultimate relaxation
👉 Mirror Lake lives up to its name with naturally filtered photo ops. Experience tea frying firsthand with the delightful mix of tea and grass aromas
