Tropical Forest, Xishuangbanna-Yunnan

Xishuangbanna is the southernmost prefecture of Yunnan Province. The prefecture is nicknamed ” Aerial Garden ” for its luxuriant and multi-layered primitive woods and tropical rain forests, which are teeming with animals and plants. Renowned as a huge natural zoo, Xishuangbanna’’s rain forest and monsoon jungles provide a habitat for nearly 1000 species of animals. Within thick and boundless forests wild elephants and wild oxen ramble about, with peacocks in their pride, gibbons at play, and hornbills whispering.
