As a matter of fact, elephants here are international elephants. They have their own passage between China and Laos. The valley is also the place for wild animals such as monkeys, wild buffalos, slowworm, butterfly, gibbon, sloth, hornbills, peacocks, macaque, etc. Walking into this dense forest, you can watch the tamed elephants making a bow, greeting, dancing, playing and bathing.

Visit Jinuo Mountain Village
Jinuo Mountain Village is set on Jinuo Mountain surrounded by tropical forests where over 20,900 Jinuo people live in bamboo buildings hidden among green leaves, according to the census of the year 2000. The Jino are one of the less numerous of the recognized minorities in China and the last one included as "national minority" because they were only recognized in 1979. A former name used for the Jino, Youle, means "following the maternal uncle," an indication of a matrilineal past. Stroll around Jinuo Mountain Village and visit Puer tea plantations up on the hills.
