Bentley at Gaoligong Mountain National — Bentayga V8 Media Test Drive (2018)

Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve hosted a media test drive for the Bentley Bentayga V8, using its forest and mountain roads around Tengchong.

The venue

Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve is a protected mountain landscape in western Yunnan near Tengchong. It is a place of old-growth forest, grassland and volcanic terrain, with roads and trails used for conservation, research and nature visits. The reserve is not a built event venue; it operates as a landscape setting where access is managed and movement follows existing routes.

How the space was used

For this project, the reserve and the route toward Da Ying Mountain served as the test-drive environment. Media guests drove the Bentayga V8 through forest and grassland sections, with the mountain road and summit area providing changing surfaces and gradients. No fixed pavilion or exhibition structure is recorded; the event used the existing road network and landscape as its set.

Why it works here

A mountain reserve suits a media test drive because its roads offer varied terrain and long, continuous drives without constructing a track. The setting lets invited media experience the vehicle in a controlled route while the landscape supplies the backdrop, and access can be managed around conservation needs.
