Mingfeng Valley is a representative and primitive tropical rainforest gully in Jianfeng Ridge, with a total length of 2.5 kilometers. Walking around the boardwalk takes about one to two hours and is not too tiring. It is named after the numerous birds that gather here, and features unique tropical rainforest landscapes such as ‘century-old trees’ and ‘large buttress roots’, which are truly astonishing. Upon entering the scenic area, one can walk along the well-maintained wooden paths. Initially, the blue sky is visible, but as one goes deeper, the trees become more numerous and dense, completely blocking the sky and sunlight. Only the freely growing branches entwine, showcasing the ruggedness and grandeur of nature.
At Mingfeng Valley, visitors can appreciate the diversity of tropical rainforest plants, breathe in the fresh air rich in negative ions, listen to the melodious bird songs echoing through the valley, and observe various flowers, vines, and ferns that have made their homes on towering ancient trees. One can also marvel at the rows of soft vines hanging down to form a wide ‘curtain’, and climb into the hollow heart of the ‘large buttress root tree’ to look up at the sky. A visit to Mingfeng Valley allows for an intimate encounter with the rainforest. The scenic spot is open all year round, 24 hours a day. Mandatory Tips: Stranglers: The seedlings of strangler plants grow on ‘supporting plants’, developing aerial net-like root systems that encircle the trunk and expand downwards until they penetrate the ground and form normal roots. After absorbing nutrients from the soil, they grow rapidly, with the net-like roots swelling and becoming net-like stems, leading to the death of the supporting plant. There are many types of strangler plants, such as the fig genus of the mulberry family, the aralia genus of the araliaceae family, and the rhododendron genus of the lacquer family, but they mainly live in tropical rainforests.Mingfeng Valley: A Representative and Primitive Tropical Rainforest Gully
