It belongs to the humid monsoon climate of the north tropical and south Asian tropical, long summer without winter, dry and wet season, both the advantages of continental climate and marine climate without its shortcomings, the daily temperature difference is large, the annual temperature difference is small, the quiet wind is less cold, and the basic frost-free. The park covers an area of 26,310 mu, and the forest coverage rate in the park is 98.6%, which is the best preserved virgin forest south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its natural advantages blend the magical natural scenery of the virgin forest and the rich folk customs, highlighting the three main theme characteristics of "tropical valley rainforest", "wildlife display mainly based on peacock culture", "folk customs display mainly based on Hani people-Aini people". Built on May 29, 1999, it attracted many tourists and scientific workers at home and abroad.
The best thing to see in the virgin forest park is that peacocks are released. Many peacocks are very shocking. There are also several ethnic minority points. The tropical rain forest is also a feature. I have seen it for the first time. We walked the whole process and it was not difficult. The best thing is that elderly people with preferential treatment certificates can enter the park for free, no matter which province.
The virgin forest park is not far from Jinghong City. It takes only one stop on Z21 Road, but the huge blockage during the Spring Festival is very large. Z21 Road departs every hour. The traffic jam is probably not possible. The doorway of the return journey at noon has been blocked into a pot of porridge. I can’t get up when I call the car, and there is no place to stop when I drive. I walked 1-2 kilometers to get to the car. Let’s talk about the forest park. The whole scenic spot is divided into three parts. One is the peacocks, one is the Hani culture, and the other is the virgin forest. It is 10 kilometers back and forth. The peacocks have a fixed session for a day. Almost the field is full, there is no good location to go late, it is worth seeing. Up is the Aini cottage, there is a bamboo raft dance, and then up in addition to the virgin forest and the jungle leap (21 projects), the physical strength can buy a battery car, 60 round trip, 40 one-way, in addition to the traffic jam affecting the mood, the scenery is still good.
There are half tickets for 60 years old (inclusive) and above. You can also book through Trip.com and change tickets at the door, which is very convenient. The peacock release is very spectacular. We watched it twice, the first game at 10 o'clock, looking at it frontally. After a round up the mountain, I went down and looked at it from the back, the back of the fountain, where the peacocks were released. Please note the time of the peacocks release.
