Wild Elephants Valley
 The
wild Chinese elephants live in the equatorial forest of Xishuangbanna
of Yunnan Province. Wild Elephants Valley is the place in
Xishuangbanna where wild elephants move about most often and
frequently. Convenient in traffic, distinctive in equatorial
forest landscape and easy to see wild elephants, it has become
the popular tourist site in XishuangBanna.
Wild Elephants Valley
covers an area of 369 hectares by the Sancha
River in Mengyang Town, and is situated
47 kilometers north of the city of Jinghong.
With hills rolling gently at an altitude
ranging between 747 and 1055 metres, the
valley is covered by tropical rain forests,
crisscrossed by rivers and streams, and
teeming with such endangered species as
Asian wild elephants, wild oxen, green peacocks
and monkeys.
In the Wild Elephants
Valley, the first passenger cableway with
2,063 meters of length in the equatorial
forest sends the tourists to the main scenic
spot in which the wild elephants live. The
tourists can drink in the beauty of the
scenery of the equatorial forest at the
top, in the forest; when the wild elephants
appear, in the main scenic spot the tourists
can walk about on the overhead corridor
and enjoy the scene of elephants bathing,
playing water and seeking for food; the
on-tree elephants-enjoying hotel is neighboring
on the wild elephants and various birds.
If you live in it, you will have various
feelings.
 Outside
the main scenic spots of the Wild Elephants Valley, tourists
can appreciate wonderful performances given by the first elephant-domesticating
school of China, the butterfly world inside the first butterfly-farming
park in China, and the tropical birds in the hundred-bird
park.
The Wild Elephants Valley will
show you a genuinely beautiful and mysterious
Xishuangbanna.
