There are many novel plants and natural oxygen bars, which are worth a half-day or a whole day to explore. The night insect exploration activity is definitely a highlight, and both children and adults love it very much.
This experience was great. The park has a rich variety of plants, some of which are native and some are transplanted from abroad. The guide was very professional and shared a lot of interesting knowledge. And the VIP tickets we bought can skip the queue, which is very efficient.

We entered from the south gate and watched the elephant show. The children liked it very much. If you want to feed the elephants, it costs 80 for a large portion and 30 for a small portion. I accompanied the children to feed the elephants. The butterfly species in Butterfly Valley are much less than when I went there ten years ago. Because there are no wild elephants, we did not walk the high-altitude plank road.
Nice place to visit but spent whole day and keep water in the bag . Cable car is long and good

It is very big inside and you need to take a tour bus. It is okay to take a look around and there is no need to make a special trip. It is all man-made scenery and there are many minority programs. The actors are still very good. The environment is good. The elderly like it more, but children don’t think it is interesting.
Yunnan Nationalities Village, this time I brought my children to play. I came here more than 20 years ago. I remember that a heavy rain caused diarrhea with my classmates. The happiness is still there, but the memory is far away. But it is still a place I highly recommend. This time I brought my children here as the first stop in Kunming.

Advantages
- Rich natural landscape: The forest coverage rate exceeds 98%, which is a natural oxygen bar. It has valley rainforests, and you can see strange landscapes such as strangler figs, parashorea chinensis, and old stems with flowers. There are also "tree waterfalls" strangler figs, sky gardens, etc., which are like a fairyland.
- Wonderful special performances: The peacock release performance is spectacular. Hundreds of peacocks spread their wings and fly from the valley to the lake, which is a visual feast. There are also national instrumental performances, folk songs and dances, etc. The actors perform well, which can make people feel the rich ethnic customs.
- Exciting entertainment projects: The jungle flying project has A and B sections with different difficulties to choose from, which allows people to shuttle through the jungle, experience the excitement and enjoy the rainforest scenery. Professional coaches guide, safety is guaranteed.
- Convenient transportation: It is located 8 kilometers east of Jinghong City, close to the provincial capital, with various transportation methods, and it is convenient to take a taxi, bus, drive, and scenic spot direct bus.
- Tickets are cost-effective: The basic ticket price of 45 yuan/person also includes an electric car, which can be used to visit most major attractions. There are also preferential policies for students and the elderly, so family travel is less stressful.
Disadvantages
- Crowded tourists in peak season: There are many people in peak season, traffic congestion, few bus routes, and difficulty in getting a taxi. There are long queues waiting for electric cars and watching performances in the scenic area.
- Overly strong commercial atmosphere: The scenic area is highly commercialized, with many photo spots along the way, as well as consumer items such as taking photos with animals, which can easily make people feel over-sold.
- Some facilities are not perfect: In addition to the electric car lane, there is a lack of special walking plank roads, and it is unsafe and inconvenient for tourists to walk on the road.
- Uneven tour guide services: The explanation levels of different tour guides vary greatly. Some tour guides speak fast and do not explain in detail, which cannot well let tourists understand the culture and characteristics of the scenic area.
Take the battery car up the mountain, and the elderly can also enjoy sightseeing easily. Watch performances and peacock releases. There is a monkey park on the mountain, and it is also a big oxygen bar. Everyone likes it. I recommend going! ! !

It is a Dai village with very strong ethnic characteristics, with many plant species, primitive buildings, and many activities and performances every day. The most important thing is that the people in the village are simple and honest, and the prices are touching.
The water splashing activity in the afternoon is the highlight. If you don't want to be splashed, stand far away. It's very lively. There are also many food in the food street next to the water splashing square! There are Dai homes in the park, which are very unique and worth a visit!

The Rainforest Walking on Mount Keno is a journey of depth and pristineness. Along the winding path into the forest, you can feel the breath of trees with a strong earthy and plant aroma. The canopy is dense, the light is mottled, and the pace is slow on the soft, wet leaves. Along the way, you will pass by suspension bridges, streams and waterfalls, each like a natural punch point. Occasionally, you can hear the chorus of birds and insects, and the foot sounds intertwined with natural rhythms, so that people can immerse themselves in it. Guides guides the hard-to-find wild plants and fungi, which are a fun to explore on foot. What impressed me most was an open viewing platform, where the valleys, rainforests and distant mountains were clear and the view was wide and quiet. The wetness of the rainforest and the refreshingness of the mountain breeze make the whole experience both relaxing and exhilarating. This hike is not a simple walk, but a rhythmic exercise in dialogue with nature, and the body and mind are re-adjusted by the forest.
The most fun itinerary in Xishuangbanna is the rainforest hike. Walking up the river is very immersive. I signed up for a 6-person group online (actually there were more than 20 people divided into small groups). The Jino leader was very patient to play with the children, which was really good.

Very large zoo, the animals are well-fed, the staff are enthusiastic, and the cost is average. Capibara, pandas, and giraffes are all good, it is worth bringing children to play
The overall design is reasonable, the route is clear, and you don't have to worry about taking the wrong road or affecting the viewing by sightseeing bus. The sightseeing bus is very necessary, and you can take fewer roads without animals. The experience is still good. It is much better than the other wildlife parks I have visited before, and there are more projects to experience, and the experience is better!

It was fun, the kids loved it. The parking time was short, and we had to leave before we had enough photos. It was not appropriate for Tuanshan Residence to charge extra. There was nothing fun, we had to park for so long, and there were not enough places to eat, so we ate in a hurry.
I didn't take the train when I came to Jianshui before, so I booked the ticket five days in advance. It was fun and convenient to visit the scenic spots by train. Water and lion ointment were prepared for each passenger on the train. It is a must-do item when you come to Jianshui.

We chartered a round trip, leaving Pu'er in the afternoon, and the car was chartered for half a day or more, 260 yuan. The little animals are very cute, and there is a fee for feeding, but it is not expensive. The children had a lot of fun, and in the end they had a close interaction with Chenggong and the red panda, depending on its mood.
I think it is a very good choice for children. Although feeding the small animals and interacting with the animals are charged separately, it is worth it. It was raining heavily when we went there, and there were not many people, but the staff were very enthusiastic.

Thank you very much to the tour guide, Ade! I didn't do any homework before the trip, but he told me the story along the timeline, which opened the mysterious veil of Yunnan for me. His explanation was profound and very appealing. I appreciated the bronze treasures, political culture, and Buddhist heritage of the Provincial Museum. The last part of the explanation of the Republic of China period in Yunnan expanded the historical information of this period, especially the Battle of Songshan, which deeply touched me and brought me to tears. I was in awe of the martyrs of the expeditionary army! I returned with a full load!
The explanation is very exciting and it is very helpful for children and parents to understand the history and culture of Yunnan. I will recommend it to my friends. I will look for professional explanations when I come to Yunnan Expo. Thank you 🙏
