Chapter 482 Primitive Rainforest
The forest in the Mengla National Nature Reserve is said to be the only tropical rainforest area in the country recognized by the world.
As soon as you step into the scenic area, it feels like you have entered another world. The trees here are the tallest I have ever seen in my life.
"This tree is called Parashorea chinensis. It is the tallest tree species in China. It can generally grow to 50 to 60 meters, and the tallest is more than 80 meters. Look there." He pointed towards the treetops above.
“The most famous attraction here is the skywalk, which is about 30 meters above the ground.
If you are not afraid of heights, you can go up and give it a try."
We looked in the direction of his finger. The sky corridor Xiao Zhao mentioned was actually a suspension bridge built between towering trees with mesh ropes and steel cables. It was only wide enough for one person to pass through. The handrails on both sides were woven with mesh ropes, and the ground underfoot was also grid-like and hollow.
Occasionally, a few tourists walked by, and the suspension bridge swayed slightly from side to side. The tourists immediately stopped and dared not move.
I think the skywalk is even more challenging than the glass plank road. The glass plank road is at least fixed, and as long as you don't look down, it's no different from walking on flat ground.
But this skywalk shakes, who can stand it?
I was the first to give up, "Xiao Zhao, introduce me to the next project."
He showed us a map of the park and pointed to it, saying, "We can first take a speedboat from the Bubang Pier, then go down the Nanla River to the Rain Forest Pier.
Then walk to the rainforest trail and finally experience an off-road vehicle through the original rainforest to reach the border of Phongsali.
If you want to experience the skywalk, after passing through the rainforest trail, you can go from the skywalk to the off-road vehicle departure point and finally meet up in Phongsali.
The plan was perfect and we headed to the pier to catch the boat.
There were ten of us in our group, just enough to fill the boat.
Everyone was given a life jacket, which seemed quite formal.
However, the life jackets here are different from those in other places. The life jackets in other places are generally bright orange or red, while the life jackets here are actually brown and green mosaic camouflage colors. It's basically like a person fell into the river, and a group of people came to test their eyesight, and they couldn't find one person!
As the speedboat sailed south along the river, Qin Shi exclaimed, "This place looks just like the Amazon jungle."
Xiao Yan said, "Yes, everyone here must stay close to the group and don't get left alone."
"Yes, you must not enter the dense forest, you can only walk along the path. Although this is a scenic spot, only a small part of it is open. Surrounding it is a large tract of virgin forest, and there are ferocious beasts in it." Xiao Zhao also added.
Su Rina's eyes widened. "Are there any ferocious beasts here? Lions or tigers?"
Ling Xiuzhi laughed, "Auntie, they don't live here. The famous beast in Yun Province is probably the clouded leopard."
“Yes, there are black bears, and there is plenty of food here. Black bears generally don’t need to hibernate, so don’t enter the dense forest.
Another point that needs to be noted is that since this area is mountainous and densely forested and is a national nature reserve, its infrastructure is relatively backward.
Cell phone signals in scenic areas are relatively poor, and some areas may not even receive a signal, so you must stay close to the group. "It's very important to remember this, but you're all from University A, so I don't need to tell you three times," he said, his usual smile returning.
We all said that we would never leave the team and act alone.
After the speedboat docked, the ten of us split into two groups. Pang Xiaomin and I were afraid of heights, so we planned to go directly for off-road vehicle riding. Xiaoyan and Azhi followed me, so we formed a team of four, and Xiaozhao took the others to the sky corridor.
After the four of us entered the rainforest trail, there was only one bar of signal left on our cell phones, and that one bar was intermittent.
For some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of panic in my heart.
