Xishuangbanna, situated at the border of China and Laos, is one of the most biologically diverse regions in China.
Nicknamed "the gene depository", it has one of the best-preserved tropical primeval rainforest in the world. In this tropical rain forest, a milieu of unique, primordial and endangered species dwell, structuring an ecological symphony that will leave you in awed at the power of nature.
The area, typical of Yunnan, is very ethnically diverse, with Dai, Hani and Han being the main ethnicities. To the Dai people, Xishuangbanna was known as 'Mengbanaxi' in ancient times, a name that means miraculous utopia.
