The Wangtianshu scenic area that lies near the China-Laos was visited by a wild elephant on the evenings of March 22 and 23 respectively. 

The elephants in the border area used to be afraid of humans and avoid entering touristy areas,” said a staff member at the Forest and Grass Bureau in south Yunnan Xishuangbanna. hanks to joint protective measures by China and Laos, some wild animals ceased to be afraid of people.”

The China-Laos nature reserve is located on the Indo-China peninsular with a high level of biodiversity. In a 2016 survey, a number of rare animals were spotted in the rainforest area, including the large Indian civet, the small Indian civet, bears, leopards and others.
