The View from the Top of the Rainforest

 The last stop on the tour route through the Yalong Bay Tropical Heaven park is at the top of the mountain.  That is the climax.  All the other stops along the way are just to build the plot.   All the huffing and puffing and sweating along the trails is just character development.  (Just so you're not too impressed,  most of the distance to the top is covered by bus.)
 At the top of the mountain there is a pagoda.  You can climb to the top of the pagoda and see Yalong Bay to the South and the rest of the island of Hainan to the North.  The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the view.  Better than the view was the breeze....once at the top there was a steady wind as if from a table fan.  The temperature was 10 degrees cooler and the humidity was significantly less than at the bottom.
