Escape to the Rainforest
6 Days Xishuangbanna and Pu'er Tour
On the southwest border of China, there is a piece of wonderful and ideal land. It is a paradise of plants and animals. It is one of the few places where you can feel a truly tropical world in China and the only place in China for interacting with elephants in the wild. Chinese culture and Southeast Asian culture influence each other there. It is Xishuangbanna (/hsee-shwung-ban-na/).
During this 6-Day Xishuangbanna and Pu'er Tour, you will immerse yourself in incredible nature, experience the ideal rainforest lifestyle, and feel the exotic charm of the banks of the Lancang (Mekong). (yn-4)

Best experience ever!
Our tour guide Mervyn was extremely knowledgeable. We had to change our plans due to a virus closure and she found other activities that we loved! By the end of the trip we felt like we had made a close friend and would enjoy spending time together again.
