The beautiful place that everyone is asking about! It's like Egypt! Right in Xishuangbanna
I never thought I would stay in the Egyptian desert in Xishuangbanna.
I feel like I've traveled to some corner of Egypt.
The design is super impressive.
Every casual shot looks like a blockbuster scene.
The room is incredibly spacious.
I especially love the small balcony outside the room.
Waking up in the morning, breathing in the fresh air,
enjoying a moment of tranquility, it's simply too pleasant!
The hotel's swimming pool is my favorite place.
The water is clear, surrounded by tropical vegetation.
Whether swimming or sunbathing, it's super comfortable.
The hotel's service is also very considerate.
They even provide free bedtime desserts.
It's a 10-minute drive from Gaozhuang.
Traveling is very convenient.
Whether it's a couple's vacation or a family trip, it's super suitable.
Where do people stay when they come to Xishuangbanna? Day 2
On the second day in Xishuangbanna, we chose to stay at the Savann Sunset River View Hotel 🌄
This must be the most beautiful sunset in Xishuangbanna!
My best friend and I stayed in a river view deluxe twin room. The hotel room was very clean, with fully intelligent appliances, comfortable bedding, and a very spacious room. The 180° river view, sitting by the window drinking tea 🍵 is so pleasant, watching the river flow by, bringing a unique enjoyment to the trip.
The hotel's pool is also a constant temperature pool, you can swim anytime 🏊 Sisters, you must come and experience it!!!
270-degree river view, perfect for photos
In this over 30-degree weather, I just want to stay in the hotel...
This hotel with only four rooms in a large flat is really hitting the spot for me~
American modern style design, every corner of the room is perfect for photos 🤩
My room type is (Ocean), with 270-degree river view floor-to-ceiling windows, a super large bathtub 🛁, and a high-quality projector with great clarity. I could lie in the hotel all day!!
The hotel's location is also great~ Facing the Lancang River, with the Starlight Night Market downstairs, it's convenient to go anywhere 🥰
Not Egypt, we stayed in a desert palace in Xishuangbanna!
From the beginning, we were attracted by this desert palace-style hotel. A trip to Xishuangbanna must be well experienced!
📍Siwa Oasis Resort Hotel
🏠Century Jinyuan Taojiang Garden (11-2)
The hotel is located in a villa area, surrounded by greenery, very pleasant, not in the bustling city, very quiet at night and slept very well.
Convenient travel, not far from Gaozhuang Night Market, Manting Park, and the Big Buddha Temple.
We chose a king-size room, the room is spacious and bright, the bedding is comfortable, the toiletries are high-end, with a faint woody sandalwood scent, which I like very much. Dyson hair dryer + Miguang makeup mirror, very friendly to women. Safe, mini fridge, garment steamer, various tea sets, reflecting the high taste of the room. The welcome fruit plate is a pleasant little surprise.
The outdoor public area is even more amazing! The super large outdoor swimming pool is fun for both adults and children, and it’s great for taking photos📷. There is also an open-air bar next to it, where you can drink with friends and lie on the lounge chairs. The second floor is a book bar, where you can sit and read a book and enjoy the tranquility.
High-quality reception, 24 hours, responsive at any time, and the service is impeccable. Free self-driving parking🅿️.
Whether you are vacationing here with your lover, best friend, or bringing your kids and the whole family, it is a very good choice!
A niche hotel in Xishuangbanna that has become very popular
It hasn't officially opened yet, but I happened to stay there. It's quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, naturally secluded, and located just outside the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market. The exterior has a sense of understated luxury, reminiscent of walking in Gangnam, Seoul. It offers great privacy with a gated entrance that prevents any disturbances.
Although it's newly renovated, there's no pungent smell in the rooms. Instead, there's the fragrance of solid wood, which is very calming.
Shierlan by day and Shierlan by night have two different faces. The riverside view is stunning, with a serene and comfortable atmosphere that discourages idle visitors. However, I prefer the time when night falls. The infinity pool reflects the Lancang River Bridge, and being immersed in such an atmosphere makes you want to do nothing but enjoy the breeze and daydream, quietly waiting for time to pass. It's a kind of enjoyment...
Xishuangbanna Pineapple Hotel, so cheap it made me cry
Thanks to Zhao Lusi, Xishuangbanna Pineapple Hotel, so cheap it made me cry.

Xishuangbanna Day 5 Accommodation | A Touch of Luxury Hidden in the Bustle
| A Touch of Luxury Hidden in the Bustle.
Today, I want to share with my sisters the hotel we stayed at on our last day in Xishuangbanna!
EASE VILLA HOTEL!
The hotel is also located in the bustling area of Gaozhuang Xishuang scenery.
The first impression this hotel gave me was full of luxury!
Right at the entrance is a super large swimming pool,
their pool is different from others,
situated between the floors,
and the color of the pool is particularly attractive,
this shade of blue under the sunlight is like the jelly sea of the Caribbean!
It looks amazing whether you take photos by the poolside or from the upper floors looking down!
The hotel rooms are also very spacious and clean,
the color scheme and layout of the rooms create a very comfortable atmosphere!
I absolutely love the combination of the large terrace and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors,
opening the curtains feels like unveiling a painting!
Next to the terrace, there is a small bathtub where you can enjoy a bath while soaking up the sun!
I suggest the sisters wear a bathrobe for photos,
with the white translucent curtains, the effect is stunningly beautiful!
The beds are very soft and comfortable to sleep on,
and the bathroom is also equipped with a wet and dry separation!
The hotel's breakfast sour sop juice is a must-try!
A very special Yunnan local beverage that you haven't tasted before,
sweet and sour!
If you're staying in Gaozhuang,
this hotel is a great choice!

Xishuangbanna Day 2 Accommodation | Yunlan Riverside Hotel
| Yunlan Riverside Hotel. Since I'm in Banna, I want to stay in every hotel!
Today we moved to the neighboring Yunlan Riverside Hotel,
just a few steps away from yesterday's hotel,
also located in the bustling Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area,
just a few minutes walk from the Starlight Night Market.
The room is very spacious and clean,
the bed is king size and very soft, very comfortable to sleep on!
This time we didn't book a river view, we stayed in a street view room,
I thought it would be noisy,
but the hotel's soundproofing is very good,
there was no street noise at all!
The most important thing is that this hotel has a high cost performance!
The huge swimming pool on the negative first floor of the hotel is my favorite!
During the day, because we went to various scenic spots,
so only at night did we have time to swim,
the pool is not only right by the Lancang River,
but there is also a small platform on the second floor where you can go up to enjoy the view!
No matter how you take pictures, they turn out great!
The hotel's breakfast fried rice is delicious,
breakfast is from eight to ten,
if you have time, you must try the duck!
The hotel's front desk staff are also very enthusiastic,
I had a cut on my hand and borrowed some disinfectant supplies,
they directly gave me half a bottle of iodophor!
Grateful for my family!
Xishuangbanna Day 1 Accommodation Edition! Today we are staying in a "cave"!
Finally, finally arrived at the famous Xishuangbanner!
It turns out Xishuangbanna is called Jinghong City,
Added another piece of trivia to my knowledge!
We did a lot of research for this trip.
In this series, I will share our daily accommodation strategies!
Our hotel for the first day is the Jiangyu Jiangjing Hot Spring Hotel.
Let's talk about the hotel location first!
It's inside the largest attraction in Jinghong City, Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area!
It took us just 20 minutes by taxi from Xishuangbanna Airport.
Then, from the hotel, we can walk to the Starlight Night Market and the Golden Pagoda Temple,
It's so convenient!
Next to the hotel, there are various restaurants, clothing stores, and fruit shops.
There is an infinity pool downstairs of the hotel where you can enjoy the view of the Lancang River,
It really is all in one step!
This time we stayed in a "cave" room,
As soon as I entered the room, I felt like I was in a room built inside a cave!
The room is colored in a striking orange and yellow,
Very stylish,
Staying in such a room is really interesting.
The room is also very spacious!
King size bed, bathtub, projector, large balcony, everything you need!
The hotel also thoughtfully provided complimentary fruit and snacks for afternoon tea.
All in all, we are very satisfied with our Day 1 hotel!
We will also report tomorrow's hotel strategy to our family in time!
Regret-not series – Southeast Asian style wooden resort hotel
Unexpectedly, there is such a comfortable hotel within the Gaozhuang scenic area. The entrance is not very eye-catching, but the interior surprised me a lot, giving me the feeling of a Southeast Asian seaside resort. Time seems to slow down here!
The king-size room is very spacious, with an open design and a wooden style that feels very textured. There are two large French windows, a terrace, and a bathtub🛁. I must especially praise the bedding; the sleep quality is guaranteed to be very comfortable!
The rooftop is the essence of this hotel. You check in at the lobby, which has a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, a leisure area, and a tea room, all in a wabi-sabi wooden style. The attention to detail shows care, and every moment of light and shadow is like art. The service is also meticulous; any issues raised are dealt with promptly. If you want to be close to the scenic area but not too noisy, and you're looking for quality, this hotel is a good choice~
I never expected to find a private courtyard with its own rainforest in Banna!
I stumbled upon a private courtyard with a small rainforest,
I didn't expect to find such a quiet hotel in Gaozhuang!
The location is great!! The Starlight Night Market is just downstairs
Although it is in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle
But the courtyard gives a sense of leisure
🏡 It has its own small courtyard, arranged in a scattered and orderly manner, like a small rainforest garden.
Inside the garden, there are stone-paved walkways, small pavilions for resting, lush greenery, and pleasant scenery.
🎁 A welcome gift was given upon arrival
It's the local specialty tea, Yunnan Pu'erh
I like these warm little details~
🍵 The hotel lobby has tea tables where you can enjoy tea and chat. The tea tables are elegant, and the tea pets are also exquisite and cute. Tasting tea in this atmosphere, even the aroma of the tea seems richer.
It lacks the commercialized design of surrounding hotels, very sincere,
Although it doesn't have any special internet-famous designs, bathtubs, or views, the comfort level is really top-notch!
I really like the extremely comfortable bedding
Wooden, fresh and clean style
Each room has a balcony~
The afternoon sun coming in is so wonderful!!!
There's also a rich buffet breakfast
Thoughtfully, they also provide complimentary Yunnan tea bags~
Staying here
Your eyes are filled with spreading greenery🍃
The lobby downstairs even has a little Pomeranian that's so cute and well-behaved
I really want to pick it up for a photo
If you're looking for comfort and value for money, you can really choose this place
The most, most, most important thing is!! The hotel offers a pick-up service~ This is really awesome!!
They can also provide services for scenic spot tickets, chartered cars, and hotels~
Store name: ✅Licheng Bieyuan•Yanyu
Address: Building 3, Unit 103, Phase III of Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenery, Jiezai Village
Why are there so many beautiful hotels in Xishuangbanna?
The hotel I stayed in Xishuangbanna was more lovely than the last, with a great experience and location. It's right in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, just a five-minute walk to the Starlight Night Market. It's a must-visit for those who want to have fun.
Looking up in the hotel lobby was an experience in itself, with the lights at night reflecting off the water, giving off a five-star hotel vibe. It's also a popular spot for social media check-ins, and taking photos 📷 there is super photogenic.
The rooms even come with a bathtub, so after a day of shopping, you can come back to the hotel and have a relaxing bath 🛀.
I finally got to stay in a cave B&B, perfectly matching with Princess Hani
I've checked in at the long-awaited Huamu Mandu in Xishuangbanna
Design🏠: The B&B offers rooms with different styles to choose from, such as cave style, Santorini, etc., each room is unique
Facilities🛏️: The room facilities are all ⌚️ smart voice-controlled, which is very convenient, automatic curtains, smart toilets, projectors, etc., all are plus points
Service👨: The highlight is the free electric scooters🏍️, Dai ethnic clothing👗, afternoon tea☕️, laundry room👔, airport transfer🚗, it's really considerate, and they even give away attraction tickets🎫, what a fairy tale B&B, YYDS
🌳It's close to various attractions, and you can reach them by riding an electric scooter. During my stay at the B&B, I've become a little expert on electric scooters haha
📍Huamu Mandu Holiday Hotel, Xishuangbanna
Arrived in Chiang Mai, it feels like Xishuangbanna
Come to Xishuangbanna!!!
Discovered a hidden Dai-style treasure guesthouse in the hot and dense rainforest!!
The hotel's decor incorporates elements of Buddhist culture
From the lobby to the dining room, swimming pool, private wine cellar
All filled with Thai style and quality
It makes one feel as if they are in a foreign land
Attracted by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and infinity pool of the villa
Outside the window seems to be a painting of a tropical rainforest!
Snap a masterpiece with a casual shot!!
If you didn't know, you would think you've gone abroad!!
The toiletries and bathroom in the room are really high-end...
Even staying in the hotel for a day won't be boring
There's also airport transfer service~

Xishuangbanna Travelogue // A hidden homestay in the rainforest
Day4 checked into Wuqiu·Rainforest·Rainforest Sen Hotel
This is a rainforest-themed hotel hidden in Gaozhuang
Upon entering, what greets you by the window is an abundance of lush greenery🪴
Vibrant and pleasing to the eye, the greenery relaxes the mood of the guests
The hotel also offers afternoon tea, sitting by the room window enjoying the view of the greenery outside, slowly savoring the afternoon tea
It's an incomparably beautiful life
Moreover, the hotel is located within the Banna Gaozhuang scenic area
But it is very quiet and tranquil, really suitable for sleeping
I stayed at the Cave Fengbao Treasure Resort Hotel in Xishuangbanna
It's already my second time staying at this treasure hotel.
You can really take Instagram-worthy photos with ease.
What's it like to live in a cave?
It's probably like opening your eyes and finding yourself in Santorini.
The cave-style room I stayed in is still very spacious and not at all oppressive.
The room is fully automated with a super large projector for an immersive experience.
The curtains, bathroom, and super large bathtub are really awesome.
The public area also has a vacation vibe, and you can easily take a set of beautiful photos that I really love.
The hotel butler is very attentive and enthusiastic, and the dry meals are very rich and delicious.
They offer airport pick-up service and free electric vehicles.
It's very close to both Manting Park and the Big Buddha Temple.
Xishuangbanna | The infinity pool paired with the sunset feels like being in California
The sunset in Xishuangbanna is really too beautiful.
The hotel I stayed at just happened to have an infinity pool.
Watching the sunset in the pool while enjoying a floating afternoon tea🫖
I'm so happy.
The first night in Banna I stayed at the Jiangyu River View Hotel.
There was a welcome gift upon check-in, which was very thoughtful.
The room had a cave style, great for taking photos.
In the evening, you can also take a bath🛁 in your room
while watching a movie with a projector🎬.
After a tiring day,
enjoying such a quiet and comfortable moment at night is really wonderful.
Trekking through the Xishuangbanna rainforest, climbing trees, swinging on swings
Trekking through the rainforest is really worth it!
Not only can you see many landscapes where a single tree makes a forest, the ancient Tea Horse Road, but there are also various activities to enjoy, such as climbing trees🌲, swinging on swings, archery... Experience the thrill of moving through the rainforest and the life of a primitive ecological tribe, and children can join in too!
The provided lunch is very sumptuous, with chicken🍗, fish, pork belly, pumpkin🎃, eggplant🍆, cucumber🥒, orange🍊, banana leaf rice, all made in the authentic minority style. The leader will even sing you a song to boost the fun!
Overall, it's a very worthwhile experience!

.
When choosing a hotel in Banna, you must first look at the location

Yet it is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle
Sleeping is very quiet, with latex mattresses, smart Xiaodu, and automatic toilets
All very convenient and intelligent.

Taking photos is also a highlight
Love the swimming pool on the first floor
Lying on the sun loungers and basking in the sun is simply a vacation paradise.

which makes it look simple and spacious.
There is a dressing table, which is quite convenient for makeup.

Dai Township Water City | Another great place to visit in Banna for moms
| Another great place to visit in Banna for moms. Today, Whale Tail is also insisting on taking mom out~
To let mom conquer the high ground of the ticket circle, I frantically searched for places in Banna suitable for Northeastern aunts, and I actually found one.
Approaching 'Dai Township Water City,' you can see the very characteristic red brick buildings, which you can pretend to be in Thailand. But actually, this place was originally a sales center, later discovered to be a good spot for taking photos, and recently it has been occupied by Northeastern aunts.
Take a taxi directly to 'Red House · Coffee and Tea,' one drink can be exchanged for one outfit change, we ordered one passion fruit drink and one Lao coffee☕️, the taste of the drinks was average, and the Lao coffee had a very low coffee content, more like drinking sweet water.
Actually, buying a set of Dai clothing at the riverside night market or the trade market is only about 35 yuan, but we don't like having a lot of things, so we chose to change outfits in the store. If you have already bought Dai clothing, there is no need to come to this store.
Since it's an idle sales center, the scenery is free, you can take photos as long as you want, and it's still very joyful. Mom changed into two sets of clothes in total, and after sending the photos to the ticket circle, she also received nearly a hundred likes. Successfully received a wave of praise from mom👏
