✨Hey everyone, just being a bit of a clickbaiter here! Recently, I visited Baduo Village in Jinuo Mountain, Xishuangbanna, and had an amazing rainforest trekking experience. I absolutely have to recommend this to you all! 🌱 Why choose Baduo Village • Stunning natural scenery: The rainforest in Baduo Village is truly a treasure trove of nature. Compared to other villages, the forest here is denser, with an astonishing variety of plant species. Along the way, towering trees form a canopy that blocks out the sky, with sunlight filtering through the leaves to create golden patches of light, making you feel like you've stepped into a dreamy fairy tale world. Streams flow gently, crystal clear, with water leaping over stones and producing crisp sounds, as if composing a beautiful natural symphony. Moreover, the rainforest in Baduo Village features unique natural wonders, such as massive strangler figs that resemble mysterious giants showcasing the magical power of nature. • Rich cultural heritage: Baduo Village is the mother village of the Axi branch of the Jinuo ethnic group, boasting profound historical and cultural significance. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful natural scenery but also delve into the traditional culture of the Jinuo people. The village features distinctive ethnic architecture, with colorful wall paintings narrating ancient legends and historical stories of the Jinuo people. The village history museum and intangible cultural heritage experience center allow you to get up close with cultural gems like the drum dance, Qike, and blacksmithing, making you feel as if you've traveled back in time to an ancient era. 🎈Classic trekking route experience • Diverse challenge activities: The rainforest trekking route in Baduo Village is truly iconic! Along the way, there are various exciting and fun activities. The high-altitude swing is a must-try; sitting on the swing and propelling yourself outward feels like you're Tarzan swinging through the rainforest. The wind rushes past your ears, and the lush greenery unfolds before your eyes—it's an exhilarating experience. There's also tree climbing and rappelling, where, under the guidance of professional instructors, you climb ancient trees tens of meters high to overlook the entire rainforest, then experience the thrill of rappelling down at high speed, making your heart race. • Fun nature exploration: During the trek, guides will introduce you to various fascinating insects, animals, and plants, teaching survival skills in the rainforest, such as identifying edible plants and crafting simple hunting tools. We even tried eating ants and drinking plant sap—these novel experiences brought us closer to nature. During stream trekking, we searched for wild loaches and small fish in the cool water, enjoying the refreshing streams and the gifts of nature. • Unique cultural experience: Midway through the trek, there's a natural face-painting activity where you use stones from the rainforest to create "wild man makeup" on your face, instantly transforming into a primitive person—perfect for taking stunning photos. After the trek, indulge in a sumptuous rainforest feast featuring banana leaf-wrapped grilled fish, roasted meat, and grilled chicken. The aroma is irresistible, and every bite is infused with the flavors of nature, giving your taste buds a rainforest journey as well. 👚Travel tips • Clothing: Be sure to wear long sleeves and pants to protect against both sunburn and mosquito bites. Opt for rubber shoes or rain boots; if you don't have them, the village sells them. • Sun protection: The rainforest has strong UV rays, so bring high-SPF sunscreen and apply it to all exposed skin areas, including your face, hands, arms, and neck. • Physical fitness: Although there are different route options, trekking in the pristine rainforest can be physically demanding. Choose a route that matches your fitness level. In summary, the rainforest trekking adventure in Baduo Village, Jinuo Mountain, is truly unforgettable. Its scenery and culture are captivating. If you love nature and enjoy exploring the unknown, don't miss the rainforest trek in Baduo Village. You're sure to create wonderful memories here! 💕

Jinuo Mountain Badu Rainforest Hiking in Xishuangbanna Must-visit in Xishuangbanna: Jinuo Mountain Rainforest Hiking Explore the Amazon rainforest - hiking is a great way to spend time with yourself. Instead of longing for it, just go for it! Equipment preparation: 1. You must wear non-slip shoes. Wading shoes are fine (croc shoes are not recommended). You can also wear rain boots, which are available for purchase at the foot of the mountain for around CNY 35 per pair (if you have them at home, just wear them). 2. Wear long pants and long sleeves to avoid scratches and insect bites. 3. Bring an extra set of clothes, including underwear, as kids will get completely wet. Food preparation: There are no shops inside, so it is recommended to bring a backpack with some snacks and enough water. Route recommendation: There will be a guide to lead you down the mountain. The road is relatively easy to walk, and then you will start a long waterway. The deepest part of the water can reach an adult's knees (you will feel like you are planting rice). The guide found some colored stones for us to paint on our faces, and it felt like the adventure was about to begin. The waterway is still a bit difficult to walk, with large and small stones underneath. You must walk slowly and not rush. The water flow is very fast, and some roads require walking against the current. You will also walk on muddy roads, which feel like you are about to sink when you step on them. It is difficult to move forward. Climbing strangler figs and swinging on swings are highly recommended. The guide also let us try sour ants. Whether you are an adult or a child, you will have a great time. Kids will have a blast, crawling in the water and playing water fights with the guide. It is super fun! We started at 10 am and came out after 4 pm. Looking back at nature, rainforest hiking in Xishuangbanna is a must-try experience. It is definitely worth a visit.

Hiking in Bado Rainforest of Jinuo Mountain in Xishuangbanna During the six hours of hiking in the Jinuo Rainforest, I felt the majestic vitality of the mountains. In my impression, Yunnan has always been a very mysterious place. This time, I opened a new map in Xishuangbanna - the tropical rainforest. As soon as you walk into the mountains, you can smell the mixture of soil and water, and the grass and trees are radiating vitality under the sunlight. Blow through the wind in the wilderness, wade through the water in the mountain stream, and feel the relaxation brought by nature. Perhaps the freedom in the mountains is even better. On the way, I saw lightning-struck trees, chicken blood vines, green dead leaf butterflies, and highly poisonous bamboo pit vipers. If you come across a large tree trunk lying across the middle of the road, you can lie down on it to bask in the sun and briefly experience the joy of being a monkey. You can swing on the ropes in the rainforest, and there are also exciting high-altitude swings. The tangled roots of the strangler fig tree make it exciting to climb to the top and then descend from the tree in a second! Paddling a bamboo raft slowly in the lush forest, all kinds of mysterious plants are growing wildly in the rainforest, full of fresh and vibrant vitality. Finally, Meimei had a rainforest feast, sitting around the bamboo table like savages. The rice wrapped in lotus leaves had a fragrance, and the grilled fish really looked like something from a survival situation in the wild. Tip Necessary supplies: Protection: The mosquitoes in the forest are quite poisonous, so you can bring a bottle of outdoor insect repellent spray (maybe because I sprayed too much, I didn’t get bitten much). It’s actually not hot in the rain forest, but if you wear a vest or shorts, you still need to apply sunscreen. What to wear: You can choose a tank top + yoga pants + sun protection jacket + hat + water shoes (essential, the water is very deep in some places, almost up to the calf, or you can buy disposable rain boot covers and wear them over your sneakers, but they may be scratched by stones). Guide: You cannot enter Jinuo Mountain freely and you need a guide. Otherwise, the terrain of the rainforest is complicated and it is easy to get lost.
