Xishuangbanna built a Truman's World

Because the Dai Ethnic Garden is far from the city, we booked a hotel close to the Dai Ethnic Garden in advance, so we could spend a whole day there the next day. However, we were stunned by the hotel's environment upon arrival. Under the cover of a huge canopy, a unique fantasy dreamscape of Xishuangbanna was created in the form of an art installation. Tall steel structures, hollow Dai-style roofs, and a massive swimming pool together form this grand installation artwork. Hidden next to the Xishuangbanna Dai Ethnic Garden, a Dai village built with stilt-style architecture and rare tropical plants, it feels like Truman's World, temporarily disconnected from the outside. Outside, there are storms and sun exposure, but here, under the protection of the canopy, it is always sunny and peaceful. The designer thoughtfully provided shelter from wind and rain in every corridor you pass through. While others were taking shelter under the eaves, I was enjoying the scenery in the pouring rain without any worries. Meticulous service, comfortable rooms, if I were Truman, I would rather hide in this little world protected by surprises. 🏨 Xishuangbanna Jinghong Golan Garden Resort Hotel ❤️ Less than 1km from the Dai Ethnic Garden, reachable by foot 🍲 For the first time, I tasted fresh butterfly pea flowers at the hotel. I used to see them used for food coloring in Thailand, but I didn't expect they could be eaten directly.
