Jianfengling National Forest Park, the largest and best-preserved tropical original forest in China, is known as the Amazon Rainforest of China. It is chosen as one of the top ten most magnificent forests in China by China National Geography Magazine in 2005.

The tour to Jianfengling is highlighted by the Mingfenggu Valley section, the most typical original tropical highland rainforest. Mingfenggu is known for its variety of birds, such as rare peacocks, hawks, egrets, original chickens, and many more. In addition, the large collection of precious plants is an attraction. The plants here include large quantities of living fossil ferns, which have appeared since the dinosaur age that coexisted with rare birds.

The whole scenic area is connected with a wooden track, and illustrated by detailed descriptions of tropical rainforest phenomenon and precious tree species, which enables tourists to learn while enlightening their spirits.

In a two-hour tour, the original forest unfolds as a dynamic view of fantastic rainforests, such as flower growing from old stems, aerial gardens, stem shades, to name just a few.
