● Flight of a Thousand Peacock

The highlight of Peacock Park is the daily Flight of a Thousand Peacock, a performance involving one thousand peafowls. They flew out of their sanctuary to land on the lakeside, where they were fed, before eventually returning to their sanctuary on the opposite bank of the lake. Visitors are invited to feed the peacocks as well as to have their photographs taken with them.

● Bear Show

In addition to the peacock show, there are also performing bears – it is something which made me feel a bit uneasy, as I am concerned whether the bears were mistreated. At the end of the show, the bear was so smart they it could pick up its own pedestal and take it out of the cage.

● Nine-Dragon Waterfall

The Nine-Dragon Waterfall is a waterfall within the Xishuangbanna Virgin Forest Park. In front of the waterfall is a statue entitled Jiulong Subduing Nine Dragons.

Brief Introduction

Zhongding Village is located at Bingzhongluo Town, with a population of 206, mainly Tibet and Nu ethnic people. According to the talks with the elderly people here, French missionary Ren Anshou ordered people to plant a lot of grapes during the his term of missions, meanwhile, he invited experts from French and Thakin to make wine, and built cellars to store grape wine. As the historical records, the chestnut trees here were brought by French missionary Xu Shizuo from foreign countries. Nujiang River is next to Zhongding Village, there still existed 7 wasted gold mines along with the river, and today we can see the lampstand used for digging the mine in the hole, just proving the old saying, “mine mountain, gold river.”

It’s the first village from Bingzhongluo to Qiunatong village.  Most of the villagers here are religious, and Buddhism, Catholicism and Christianity coexist, so the people are simple and unsophisticated.
