Tickets and booking
Base entry is 55 RMB for adults, with a 27 RMB concession rate for seniors, children and students. Two bundles are listed: entry plus a Nanla River boat ride for 88 RMB, and a combo of entry plus a one-way boat ticket plus the tree canopy walkway for 180 RMB. Prices are published as valid all year, Monday to Sunday.
Half-price eligibility covers minors aged 6 to 18 (18 included), seniors aged 60 (inclusive) up to but not including 70, and currently enrolled full-time students at undergraduate level or below with valid ID. Entry is free for children aged 6 and under, or 1.2 m and under in height; seniors aged 70 and above or holders of a retirement certificate; disabled visitors with valid certificates (blind visitors, visitors with double lower-limb disabilities and other severe disabilities may bring one accompanying carer in free); active-duty and disabled military personnel, plus retired military cadres and retired non-commissioned officers with valid ID; and holders of the Yunnan High-Level Talent Green Channel Service Certificate, who may bring parents, spouse and children — up to six people — in free.
The listed phone numbers for enquiries are 0691-8876098 and 0691-8175922; a quick call to confirm current prices before setting out is the reliable move.
Entrance and routes
The listed public-transport route runs through Mengla county town: coaches from Xishuangbanna Bus Station head from Jinghong toward Mengla, and the final leg to the gate departs from Mengla County Bus Station. The scenic area’s listed address places it 13 km north of Mantala Road in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan.
That makes two legs in practice: the Jinghong-Mengla coach (about 3 hours), then the Mengla County Bus Station service to Wangtianshu Scenic Area (about 20 minutes), with the second-leg ticket bought at Mengla County Bus Station. The available data covers no other approach — private car, taxi or any direct service — so confirm those options locally or by phone (0691-8876098 / 0691-8175922) rather than assuming they exist.
Photo spots
The two ticketed features double as the two photo settings. The tree canopy walkway puts you up at treetop level, an angle the ground cannot give you, while the Nanla River boat ride offers a water-level pass through the scenery.
Neither comes with base entry alone: the walkway is bundled in the 180 RMB combo ticket (which also includes a one-way boat ticket), and the boat ride is available as the 88 RMB entry-plus-boat ticket. With gates open 08:30-18:00, both fit comfortably inside the suggested 1-3 hour visit.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours are 08:30-18:00, every day of the year. The suggested time on site is 1-3 hours. No crowd levels, peak seasons or queue data are listed, so plan around the clock rather than around predicted crowds — arriving near the 08:30 opening leaves the full window available.
Factor in the bus legs when fixing a start time: roughly 3 hours from Jinghong to Mengla plus about 20 minutes to the gate, which turns a 1-3 hour visit into a full-day outing from Jinghong.
Walking and effort
No trail lengths, gradients or difficulty ratings appear in the listed data, so treat walking effort as undocumented. What is documented is a 1-3 hour visit built around two features — the tree canopy walkway and the Nanla River boat ride — a format that points to a short excursion rather than a day-long trek. If a longer hike is the goal, verify on site or by phone (0691-8876098 / 0691-8175922) before counting on it.
Getting there
Two bus legs cover the journey. Leg one: from Xishuangbanna Bus Station, take the coach heading from Jinghong toward Mengla — about 50 RMB and roughly 3 hours. Leg two: at Mengla County Bus Station, buy a ticket to Wangtianshu Scenic Area — about 10 RMB and roughly 20 minutes.
The destination sits 13 km north of Mantala Road in Mengla County, per the listed address. The listed phone numbers, 0691-8876098 and 0691-8175922, are the contact point for schedule questions.
Cost breakdown
Admission: 55 RMB adult base entry, 27 RMB concession. Bundles: 88 RMB for entry plus the Nanla River boat ride; 180 RMB for entry plus a one-way boat ticket plus the tree canopy walkway.
Transport at the listed one-way fares comes to about 50 RMB (Jinghong-Mengla) plus about 10 RMB (Mengla-scenic area) each way — roughly 120 RMB return from Jinghong. On that basis, a base-entry day trip from Jinghong lands around 175 RMB all-in, and the full combo day around 300 RMB. Free-entry categories (children aged 6 and under or 1.2 m and under, seniors 70 and above, and others listed under ticket-booking) cut the cost to transport alone.
