A Real Rainforest Hike in Xishuangbanna: A No-Regrets Guide from a College Student

6 Hours Disconnected from the World Reborn as a Monkey in the Rainforest 🐒 Viva la vida! It's freedom, it's the joy of the wild! [Route Selection] 1️⃣ Small group of 4, no wasting time queuing for activities. We chose the 4.6 km hike, which took 5-6 hours, but there's no time limit, so you can play as long as you like. 2️⃣ We chose the Xinsitu route—fewer people, beautiful scenery, and unspoiled nature. We encountered fewer than 10 people in total. The guide said this route has a limited capacity, which made for a great experience! Exciting activities too! 3️⃣ We started by applying colored clay by the stream. Along the way, the guide explained the plants and animals, we ate various wild vegetables and sour ants, and played on bamboo rafts in the river. Then we had a rainforest feast, which was surprisingly delicious. After that, we started the activities: single-rope swing, high-altitude swing, archery, tree climbing, and rappelling. The single-rope swing was especially fun, going far and with no limits on time or number of swings. There was also a century-old strangler fig tree. Unlike other routes with ladders, this one used the real tree trunk, making for an authentic experience. Rappelling was fun too. The guide took lots of great photos, so choosing the right guide is important. My friends all praised my choice!!! ————————————————————— [Cost Breakdown] Total: 💰200+ The price depends on the number of people. The more people, the cheaper it is. There were only 4 of us. Includes hotel pickup and drop-off in the city + insurance + all activities ————————————————————— [Essentials] 1️⃣ ID card, portable charger 2️⃣ Choose rain boots in a similar color to your outfit for good photos, or bright yellow or red. Adding insoles and wearing a pair of socks will make walking more comfortable. 3️⃣ Long sleeves and pants are a must! There are tons of mosquitos! Insect repellent is essential, as are sunscreen, a sun hat, sunglasses, and water. This is "China in the Rainforest" The beauty of China is in Xishuangbanna, in the rainforest, in the mountains...
