| The Lancang River (also called the Mekong River) has an 1187.5 kilometer-long stretch flowing through Xishuangbanna. At the moment, the Lancang River Tour is divided into two sections. The upper section is 135 kilometers long, from Jinghong to Simao; the lower section is 40 kilometers in length, from Jinghong to Olive Basin. The lower section attracts more tourists at present. Visitors will be enchanted by the primeval tropical rain forestand animals along the two banks of the river, especially by the incredible "Sky Garden", where flowers bloom happily on dead branches and some trees have aerial roots, and the "One Tree Forest".
The Jinuo people, residing in the Jinuo Mountains on the west of the river bank 43 kilometers from Jinghong city, have in the last forty years adapted totally from a primitive to a modern way of life - a truly amazing story. |
