It's a long way from Jingling (2 1/2 hours by car). Has a skyway - basically elevated rope bridges for extra 100 yuan, kids said it was ok. You also get a brief ride up the Mekong river in a boat with Mandarin commentary. Some people who'd arrived after lunch weren't able to get on the boat because not enough... More 

My teenagers and I enjoyed walking through the tropical forest environment. Take the electric cart to the Eastern district for peace and quiet, away from the tourist groups.

To be honest, the views inside the Rainforest didn't meet my expectation, the plants with complicated names are not easy to remember, all of them look similar with each other...... The tour guide was good and with a great sense of humor, we were made to laugh by his funny words all the way, pretty much impressive. There were a... More
