[Xishuangbanna] Spend the winter in a warm little town

🍓The best time of year has come again for the little town I long for! In the past 10 years, I have chosen to spend 5 winters in Xishuangbanna. Why not choose Thailand or Hainan? Because I love Xishuangbanna's unique leisure and the warm winter sunshine. This slow travel guide is designed for lazy people. Enjoy! 🍇Leisurely itinerary Day 1: Stroll through Manting Imperial Garden → Meditate at Zongfo Temple → Wander through Gaozhuang Xishuangjing → Stroll through Starlight Night Market 🍉Day 2: Explore Wild Elephant Valley → Rest at Manzhang Village → Get tipsy at the riverside night market 🍋Day 3: Take a deep breath at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Tropical Botanical Garden or travel back in time at Manyuan Village → Cleanse your soul at the Great Buddha Temple 1⃣Must-see beauty Manting Park: The former resting place of the Dai king, a great place for photos 2⃣Zongfo Temple: Next to the Imperial Garden, free entry with a park ticket 3⃣Gaozhuang Xishuangjing: Full of subtropical charm, don't miss the Jinghong Golden Pagoda, and the Starlight Night Market is also waiting for you 🍎Starlight Night Market: The largest internet-famous night market in Xishuangbanna, a great place for photos, explore the food at your leisure, focus on the atmosphere (many people online avoid the Starlight Night Market. Think about it, it's just a night market, so people with high expectations for service and environment are not recommended to go. Princesses used to live in castles. But isn't it the atmosphere that we're going for? Don't be so uptight, be down-to-earth, and you'll have fun) 4⃣Great Buddha Temple: A large standing Buddha temple in Southeast Asia, a royal temple of the Dai king in ancient times (no short skirts in the temple) 5⃣|Go with the flow (depending on personal preference) Wild Elephant Valley: Get close to Asian elephants, a natural baptism in the rainforest Manyuan Village: Experience the simple life of an authentic Dai village
