Yanoda Tropical Park

"Yanoda" is one of the largest and most famous ecological reserves in China, located near Wuzhishan Mountain and Qixian Range. There is a relict rainforest, walking through which you can find trees and plants that appeared on Earth several millennia or hundreds of years ago. Perhaps, Yanoda is the best choice for those who want to plunge into the unspoiled embrace of wildlife, hear its sounds, enjoy the atmosphere of pristine existence, see and feel the beauty of untouched tropical splendor.

At one time, more than 3.9 billion yuan was invested in the creation of the Yanoda recreation area. The area of the reserve is spread over 45 000 square meters. m. Perimeter: 123 square kilometers. The whole area is divided into two parts: “Valley of Dreams” (“Valley of Dreams”) and “Valley of the Jungle”, they are connected by a bridge over the gorge. The forest in Yanoda is rightfully listed in China as a tourist area of the diamond-class jungle (Diamond Jungles). Its bizarre name reserve was not accidental. In the Hainan dialect, Ya means “innovation” of the numerals 1, No means “commitment” of the numerals 2, Da means “motivation to action” of the numerals 3, and together all this is combined into friendship and blessing. This is an interesting Chinese puzzle.

At the entrance to the reserve, you will be provided with an electronic guide that hangs around your neck. Throughout your journey, he will constantly comment on what is happening in literary Russian. Particular attention is paid to plants. Excursions can start in a shared bus or electric car for 6 people. In this case, you will ride on the 18-kilometer road between the trees and continue on foot. Not far from the pedestrian path, you can find suspended bridges, stone stairs, hidden in the forest silence of the gazebo - a carefully thought out paraphernalia that fits perfectly into the general landscape, created based on the popular fairy tale in the republic "Hainan Shangrill" ("Heavenly Paradise").

When preparing for a trip, it is necessary to remember that the tropics, first of all, always remain tropics. They will not only delight you with their views, but also make you feel the beauty of the local climate. The air in such forests is hotter and humid than usual. Trees, like sponges, greedily absorb precipitation and later, slowly and generously, evaporate them. Choose clothes for a walk in this regard, you need to be as light and comfortable as it will quickly moisten. Later, those who wish can climb the mountain along the waterfall (it is especially luxurious in the rainy season). All enthusiasts get to the top of the way absolutely wet, while guides to their wards can offer only special helmets and comfortable slippers. This point must also be considered in advance. And the walk in the forest itself, as a rule, is delayed for hours, if not for the whole day, so comfortable shoes are necessary.
