Xishuangbanna Night Market

Dear friends👋, I impulsively bought a ticket to fly to Xishuangbanna✈️ just because of a picture of the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market! The atmosphere at the Starlight Night Market at night is absolutely amazing👏! Each small tent shines like a star✨. It is said to be the largest night market in Asia. At night, this is the liveliest place in Xishuangbanna🎉. 📍Location: Gaozhuang, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Prefecture. 🕔Opening hours: Open all day, but the night market starts at 18:00 and lasts until 1:00-2:00 in the morning. ✅Recommended route: Gaozhuang Xishuangjing ➡ enter from the Golden Pagoda Temple ➡ Red Brick Steps ➡ Main Stall Area of Starlight Night Market ➡ Elephant Statue ➡ BBQ Snack Street ➡ Six Nations Water Market ➡ Stroll along the Mekong River stalls and enjoy the night view ➡ Exit from the west or east side. 🌈Recommended check-in points: 👉The stairs near the Starlight Night Market side of the Golden Pagoda, where you can overlook the bustling scene of the Starlight Night Market. 👉The stalls at the Starlight Night Market, various handicrafts, food, open bars, etc., are all worth photographing. 👉By the water at the water night market, there are inner lake boats passing by, with neon reflections on the water and bustling bar night market, creating a great summer night atmosphere. 👉The top floor of the East Tower of Jingzai Village or the top floor platform of Building 1 in Jingkuang Village is a good place for aerial photography. Since Gaozhuang is a no-fly zone, you can only climb the building to take panoramic shots. 👅Food includes: 🐟Lemongrass Grilled Fish, grilled tilapia with lemongrass, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very flavorful. 🍨Palu Da, bread soaked in coconut milk, full of tropical flavor. ☕️Lao Iced Coffee, bagged iced coffee, perfect for a hot day. 🐓Dai-style Pounded Chicken Feet, sour and spicy, a very authentic Dai snack. 🌯Vietnamese Spring Rolls, transparent and chewy rice paper rolls with minced fillings, dipped in sour and spicy sauce, very appetizing. 🥥Coconut Jelly, can be added with different fruits, rich coconut flavor, considered a dessert. 🍚Five-color Sticky Rice, a very photogenic mango sticky rice with sweet and soft coconut milk. 🍄Wild Mushroom Hotpot, only available in the rainy season, the mushrooms are wild, fresh, and delicious. 😇About travel photography: The streets are full of "princesses"👸, with impressive makeup, but the photographers' skills vary. If you have a camera and a friend who can take good photos, you might as well buy a beautiful Dai costume, get your makeup done in a store, and take photos yourself. (The clothes in travel photography stores are almost never washed and have a strong smell of sweat. For those who love cleanliness, it's better to buy a new set of clothes. Headpieces can be borrowed).
