Costa Rica is becoming ever more popular among Chinese tourists and offers an alternative way for Spring Festival holidays that mark the start of the lunar new year.
Zip lining, Tarzan swinging, waterfall rappelling, and free-fall jumping on the canopy tree tops in Costa Rica's tropical forests are part of the extreme sports experiences for tourists. Such attractions especially appeal to young Chinese tourists.
"Costa Rica is a small country, but it has fantastic tropical forests and is world-renowned for its volcanoes as well as hot springs," said Chinese tourist Fu Xuan.
"Coming to Costa Rica has been a fantastic experience especially during the spring break. We took our children and the entire family here during our Chinese New Year holiday. It's a great experience," Fu added.
Costa Rica is one of the most exotic and appreciated tourist destinations in the world. The country is recognized for its nature conservation efforts and for giving tourists a marvelous adventurous experience in its forests.
"I have visited various places ... but I have never seen the species (of animals), volcanoes and waterfalls like those here. It is very different from the other regions of the world," said Chinese tourist Xi Xiaojie.
