American Ranch

Chapter 370 Arriving at the Wild Elephant Valley

It is the rainy season in Xishuangbanna at this time, and rain is nothing more than a normal thing. No, Qin Yi and others just started driving on the road, the sky suddenly changed, the sun disappeared all of a sudden, and the big beans raindrops crackling down
Seeing that the rain was becoming a curtain, and even the wipers were not working well, and he couldn't see the way ahead, Qin Yi pulled over and waited for the pouring rain to pass.

Susa and Keluo pursed their lips, a little bored, but it was the first time for Angel and Becky to see such a heavy rain, and they happily lay down by the car window to watch.

Montana is full of drizzle, but the snowstorm in winter is very big!
It was misty and rainy outside, and there were no pedestrians on the road. I didn't pay attention to observe it just now, but I guess they hid in the roadside shop to avoid the rain.

On both sides of the road, the broad branches and leaves of tropical and subtropical plants were also drooped by the raindrops, not to mention the flowers, which were all withered and ruined, which was quite a bit of bleak beauty.

"It's not good to travel during the rainy season. The rain falls as soon as it is said!"

Ye Fang complained in a low voice, for fear that the planned plans and enthusiasm for traveling would be extinguished by this rain!
Qin Yi saw that the women were also a little bored and worried, so he explained: "Don't worry, ladies, although I have never been here, I also know some tropical and subtropical rainy seasons. It comes quickly and disappears quickly. I think It won't be long before it stops!"

I don't know whether it was Qin Yi's consolation that helped, or whether the address of "lady" made them secretly happy. Anyway, after listening to his words, they all looked a little more relaxed.

The little girls looked at it for a while, and also remembered the little elephant. Seeing the rain, they couldn't help worrying, so they opened the window of the car and muttered to pray for the rain to stop.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and as Qin Yi expected, the rain of Dou Da stopped as soon as it said it would stop!
In less than a minute, the sky cleared up, and the bright sun illuminated the world again. The crisp branches and leaves, and the remaining water droplets between the delicate petals were crystal clear, like crystals, making people feel fresh and bright!
"Wow, Uncle Yi is really amazing, even Da Yudrop listens to Uncle Yi's words." An Qier widened her eyes in amazement, looking at Qin Yi's back full of admiration!

Betsy looked the same, making the women in the back smile.

Qin Yi glanced back, the adoring eyes gave him infinite motivation, and with a "oh hoo", he drove the car and flew towards the Wild Elephant Valley.

Only Ye Fang, who has been in the co-pilot for N years, is a little unhappy, and he also wants to experience the feeling of being stared at by little girls with admiration.
It must have been due to the rain, the scenery outside is more fresh and bright, before there was a feeling of admiring the scenery through the glass, but now it is completely immersive, that kind of spotless purity, Qin Yi I just remember seeing it on the ranch.

But in comparison, the air in the ranch is cleaner, perhaps only in the tropical rainforest can it reach that level.

Susa and Keluo talked and laughed in a low voice with Sara, while Amanda and Liu Qimeng teased the two little girls to sing, chirping, and the crisp voice was like the cheerful birdsong in the forest.

Qin Yi and Ye Fang, two big men, were thrown aside by women and children, and could only discuss with each other the folk customs they saw.

It took almost an hour to arrive at the Wild Elephant Valley. After buying a ticket to enter the scenic spot, Qin Yi did not blindly plunge into the adventure tourism area, or enter the high-altitude observation plank road, trying to find wild elephants in the first place.

Because the entire Wild Elephant Valley is nearly 50 hectares, there are only about 300 groups scattered, and there are only more than [-] wild elephants in total. It can be said that if you want to go in and run around, you will see wild elephants, which is similar to winning a lottery!

So, in order not to be disappointed, he discussed with his wives and took everyone to the Asian Elephant Performance School. There are many tame Asian elephants here. Finding wild elephants is worth the trip!
As long as you can see elephants and baby elephants, the ladies and girls don't care if they are wild or not, so they are all looking forward to it, and they are ready to take pictures.

Along the way, the maids skipped and walked in front, Ye Fang was like Lai Pi coaxing his child bride Bai Xue, when he got out of the car, he rushed to Liu Qimeng, and the young lovers followed slowly, watching while walking, the most leisurely .

At this time, we have entered the Wild Elephant Valley, which is naturally a tropical rainforest scenery.

Although the atmosphere of humanism is stronger and the original style is less, the plants are still authentic tropical plants. All kinds of crisp, tender and thick leaves are spread everywhere, lush and lush, which makes people feel the strong vitality at a glance.

However, it is still different from Hawaii and Papua New Guinea. Although there are also palms and plantains, there are more rainforest species such as ferns, shrubs, and vines. Therefore, everyone still feels very fresh and took a lot of photos.

Come to the Asian elephant performance area happily, everyone sits down under the antique long pavilion, observes the surrounding tourists or the scenery, laughs and chats, and waits for the start of the performance.

This performance area is relatively simple, backed by mountains and dense forests, the tall trees are still lush, it may be that the rain in the morning has spread here, and the distant trees are filled with water vapor, like a thin layer of mist, covering the mountains and forests faintly.

The long pavilion surrounds the venue. Although it is not very beautiful, it can also give tourists a place to shelter from the rain. In this rainy season, when it rains at any time, when you see the midfield, it is raining, that is good. laugh!

Qin Yi imagined the embarrassment of elephants performing in the rain and tourists watching with banana leaves. It was a little funny, and he laughed out loud unconsciously. Susa and Ke Luo gave him a white look. This guy is often caught by his own Funny ideas!

Between the several pavilions, there are some vendors selling water, yogurt, snacks and other commodities, and they should all be employees of the scenic spot.

Well, this is the most common sight in the scenic spot, contributing to economic development!
There are many simple log square tables and long benches in the pavilion, but at least there is a place to sit, and soon it is full of people, so that later tourists can only lean on the pillars.

In front of the pavilion is an extremely simple bamboo railing, and a bamboo stake is erected about two meters away. On it is a long bamboo that is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. That posture, let alone blocking an elephant, Qin Yi felt that he kicked it. In the past, it was good if the railing could not fall down!
Maybe the railing itself is not to block anything, but just to circle an empty performance venue. It is an invisible and neutral rule, so that everyone should not get too close.

Not to mention, everyone stood in twos and threes at random, and no one jumped over the railings full of entrances to enter the performance area.

"Wow, baby elephant! Mom, is this a baby elephant? It's so big!"

Qin Yi was looking around, but he heard Angel cheering in surprise. He turned his head and saw, sure enough, several men in light blue costumes and felt hats led four elephants into the room from the left. field.

The gray-brown elephants have thick limbs and are more than two meters tall, but they are very obedient and obedient. They walk slowly, with long noses holding the tip of the tails of their companions in front of them, and they circle the performance venue. This is a child. hand in hand?
When he looked at it, Susa was also answering the little girl's question with a smile: "This is an elephant, the parents of the little elephant."

"Well, Elephant Papa and Elephant Mama are also very cute!" Betsy clapped her little hands and said bouncingly. Seeing her novelty and surprise, she obviously had a good impression of this kind of docile animal.

Ke Luo and the others have already been busy taking pictures, and even started posing. Unfortunately, the elephants are still in the performance area, too far away, the angle is not good, and the background is not beautiful.

The performance of the elephants began immediately. First, under the command of the trainer, the elephants squatted on the ground together, with their forelimbs raised, their hooves drooping, and their noses bent and upturned. The triangular mouth is really a bit of a smile.

It's just that the elephant's eyes are too small. There is a small pea-like eye on a big head. It's funny no matter how you look at it, making the little girls giggle.

The two cute European and American little girls also provoked many people. They looked at the little girl instead of the elephant, and they were all happy.
