Yunnan In-Depth Tour Recommendation | Secluded Paradise Hotel in the Center of Xishuangbanna

When you come to Yunnan for an in-depth tour, the night and morning in Xishuangbanna are always fascinating. This time, I found a treasure hotel next to the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market—He Puli Yue Resort Hotel, which combines the poetry of the rainforest and the Dai-Thai customs into the journey. I'm sharing it with you who want to slowly savor Xishuangbanna. 🌿 The location is amazing! You can reach the local life with a walk The hotel is hidden in the alley of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, a 3-minute walk to the Starlight Night Market, and a 5-minute walk to Ganbai Street. In the evening, put on Dai costumes and go out. The neon lights of the night market and the evening breeze of the Lancang River come at the same time. Enjoying Lao ice coffee while watching the Dai Di performance, this local atmosphere is so right. Avoid the crowds in the early morning and take a walk along the river. When you come back, pick up a portion of glutinous rice for breakfast. The relaxation of an in-depth tour starts from choosing the right location. 🏡 Live in a Dai-Thai dream in the tropical rainforest You will be healed as soon as you push open the wooden door of the hotel. The atrium is a tropical botanical garden with gurgling water. Palm trees and monstera alternate, and hammocks sway gently in the breeze. The "Green Field" family room where I stayed has floor-to-ceiling windows framing the greenery of the courtyard. The balcony is furnished with rattan coffee tables. In the morning, brew a pot of Pu'er tea and watch the clouds roll. Even the children are lying on the window to watch the squirrels on the trees. The smart home system is hidden in the texture of the original wood. The electric curtains open to reveal a room full of sunshine, and the central air conditioner sends a cool breeze. The original wood room has a three-part separation of dry and wet areas, and the large bathtub is equipped with bath salt balls. After shopping at the night market, take a bath to instantly eliminate fatigue. Detail control is ecstatic: there are USB ports on the bedside, a Dyson hair dryer, a smart toilet, and even mosquito repellent and mosquito repellent stickers are prepared, which is more considerate than your own home. 🍽️ Surprises from morning to night Breakfast is freshly made Yunnan rice noodles in a small pot. The soup is thick and white. Mix it with sour bamboo shoots and millet peppers to instantly awaken your taste buds. There are also different Dai-flavored breakfasts that rotate every day. Pineapple purple rice is sweet but not greasy, and lemon leaf steamed cake has a fresh herbal fragrance. The hotel's "Yue Shi Guang" restaurant is perfect for an in-depth tour. The chef is a local Dai sister. You can blindly order the recommended dishes: the lemongrass grilled tilapia is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the dipping sauce is sour and spicy; the pineapple rice is mixed with nuts and raisins, and children can eat two large bowls; when night falls, sit in the courtyard and order a Lao ice coffee with Dai barbecue, listen to light music and watch the stars. This is the rhythm that Xishuangbanna should have. 💖 Hidden surprises for in-depth tours ▪ Free travel photography! The hotel has a cooperative photographer. You can borrow a set of Dai costumes and take forest-style blockbusters in the courtyard, saving hundreds of dollars ▪ The chartered car service is super worry-free. Tell the butler that you want to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden or Wild Elephant Valley, and they will arrange a chartered car with an explanation, which is more cost-effective than taking a taxi by yourself ▪ There is a free handicraft experience every afternoon. We followed grandma to learn how to make Dai paper lanterns, and the children learned about intangible cultural heritage while playing ▪ A souvenir was given when checking out: handmade brown sugar and lemongrass sachets, and you can still smell the faint herbal fragrance when you unpack your suitcase 📍 Useful Tips - Book a room 1 month in advance during peak season! Family with kids are advised to choose the "Green Field" and "Qinghe" room types, which have independent balconies - The hotel has free parking, which is friendly to self-driving parties - In-depth tour route reference: Day 1 Starlight Night Market + Great Golden Pagoda | Day 2 Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden (hotel chartered car) | Day 3 Manyuan Village + Elephant Camp | Day 4 Hotel Laying Flat + Ganbai Street to Find Handicrafts During the 4 days and 3 nights in Xishuangbanna, this hotel is like a secret garden hidden in the hustle and bustle.
