Spotting elephants in Xishuangbanna!
Xishuangbanna is home to some of China’s most beautiful natural scenery and one of the best places to do that is the elephant sanctuary! It’s a short taxi ride from the night market area and opens at 8am. I would recommend getting there for the opening time and getting a cable car to the other side of the park. When I did this, it was very quiet and the elephants were in full view for about 90 minutes. There are also monkeys around the park that are very cute!
There is an area at the front of the park that has coffee shops and restaurants. I think you could do the whole park in half a day. #nature #elephants #yunnan #china

The Xishuangbanna tropical rainforest stands on an empty covered bridge. The trees and streams at the foot are unobstructed. The feeling of being completely vacant is even more thrilling. It is like an incarnation of the rainforest elves, flying in the canopy of the tropical rainforest, and the land. Get the most intimate contact on the biggest ecosystem!
