Wangtianshu near Mengla: a swaying walkway through the rainforest canopy
Northeast of Mengla town, Mengla County
The reserve is named after the wangtianshu, 'the tree that looks at the sky', a protected rainforest giant that grows past 70 m and survives in China only in far southern Yunnan and southern Guangxi. The draw is a suspension walkway strung through the canopy high above the forest floor, and the combined ticket includes a boat transfer. Go in the morning, before the heat builds, while birds are active around the walkway.
What locals sayRegulars often pair it with a night in Mengla or the Saturday market at Manlongle, since it's a long round trip from Jinghong in one day.
