Skip itTaiyanghe Forest Park: about ¥135 for red pandas; skip it without kids
Dakaihe, Simao District, about 40 km from Pu'er city
Taiyanghe is the big ticketed park about 40 km, or an hour's drive, from Pu'er city: forest paths where red pandas, gibbons, macaques and green peafowl turn up close to the trail, plus white rhinos flown in from Africa behind a fence. Young children love feeding the red pandas. Without kids, and especially if you are heading on to Xishuangbanna's rainforest, the ticket mostly buys close-up views of a few animals kept in the park.
What locals sayReviews split: families rate the red-panda feeding highly, while others call it an overpriced zoo with a handful of captive animals.
