|||。🌻 Xishuangbanna Travel Guide National Day is coming to Xishuangbanna, and I found that many places are already crowded on the first day of the holiday. To give tourists a better experience, here are some suggestions. 💧I. Weather Conditions April to October is the rainy season in Xishuangbanna, and National Day is no exception. From October 1st this year, it basically rains in the morning and drizzles intermittently in the afternoon. After 11pm, the rain is heavier. Therefore, tourists must prepare raincoats and umbrellas. 🌳 II. Recommended Attractions 1. Botanical Garden (5A): This is a must-visit attraction in Xishuangbanna. 2. Wild Elephant Valley: It is recommended to only purchase tickets to watch the performance and feed the elephants. 3. Original Forest Park: You can experience the jungle crossing project. 4. Dai Ethnic Village: It is very interesting to play water splashing here. 5. Manting Garden: Close distance, suitable for taking photos and checking in. 6. Mengle Cultural Tourism Zone (Big Buddha Temple): Suitable for tourists interested in Dai culture. 7. Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (Starlight Night Market): You can go shopping and eating every night, but the traffic flow is very large from 8pm to 11pm on holidays. 8. Jino Mountain Hiking: This is a popular project. Remember to book a guide in advance and wear rain boots (you can bring your own or buy them on site). 👗 III. Precautions for Tourists (I) Clothing Preparation 1. Mainly summer clothes, sandals can be worn. If you plan to play water splashing, you can bring more clothes. It is recommended to bring a thin coat as it is cooler in the morning and evening when it rains. 2. Girls can buy Dai costumes locally for photos, which are affordable, but remember to bargain. (II) Travel Photography Suggestions There are many travel photography shops, so choose carefully. You can find a specialized makeup shop and take photos yourself. 🍉(III) Food Recommendations 1. Fruit Purchase: After arriving in Xishuangbanna, go to the local farmers' market to buy fruits, which are fresh and cheap. Some fruits need to be placed for 1-2 days before they can be eaten. Do not buy fruits in Gaozhuang, the fruits in Mangge Market are also more expensive, Jinghong Farmers' Market, Xishuangbanna Prefecture Wholesale Market, and Gasa Wholesale Market are good choices. 2. Barbecue Places: Do not eat barbecue at Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market, the price is expensive and the taste is average. Dai-style barbecue is recommended at Youxiang Food Plaza. 🏠 (IV) Accommodation Options 1. It is not recommended to stay in or near Gaozhuang, as the prices are high and it is noisy. 2. Hotels such as Wyndham around 5km from Gaozhuang are good choices, comfortable and clean, with convenient taxi access. 🚗 (V) Transportation 1. Due to the possibility of heavy rain during the rainy season, check the weather and road conditions before traveling, especially on highways, as there is a possibility of road closures. 2. In the city, you can choose to take a taxi or ride a shared electric bike; when going to major attractions, you can drive yourself, rent a car, take a bus or hitchhike. It is not recommended to book a car, as the price is expensive. 🎆IV. Additional Tips During holidays, there are fireworks displays at Gaozhuang Night Market, starting at 20:30. The best viewing point is the riverside entrance of Gate 1 of Starlight Night Market. The above is a guide based on my experience of traveling in Xishuangbanna, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
