This stretch of rainforest is part of Tongbiguan Provincial Nature Reserve, the only tropical nature reserve in the Irrawaddy River basin, which hosts China's northernmost lowland rainforest. The exuberant rainforest here boasts one of the biggest concentrations of bird species in China. Inside the reserve, over 700 kinds of birds have been recorded, accounting for half of China's total. In particular, the prominence of hornbills has earned it the nickname "hornbill vale."
