Sleep into the Starlight Night Market! Just 3 minutes away, this Dai-style hotel upgrades your Xishuangbanna nightlife for free

Finally stayed at a magical hotel that made me reluctant to check out! This time at Xishuangbanna, the Jixianggu Hotel (Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market branch) is simply a perfect stop tailor-made for travelers~ 🛏️ Top-notch stay experience Opening the door instantly healed me—the natural wood tones blend skillfully with Dai brocade, and outside the balcony sway palm trees. The bedding is dry and breathable, allowing a deep sleep even on 30°C nights. The biggest surprise is the excellent soundproofing; with windows closed, it feels like being in a secret forest, and opening them reveals the city lights and cicadas’ chorus. 🌿 Details reveal the truth The bathroom has a double shower, perfect for washing off the stickiness after a day of fun! Every day, you receive a Dai embroidered sachet gift, and the minibar offers free special tamarind juice. Even the elephant-foot drum decorations in the elevator make you want to take a nine-grid photo~ 🎇 Prime location Only a 3-minute walk from the hotel to the "Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market"! Every evening, stroll along the crowd, pass through the Bodhi Avenue adorned with paper lanterns, and instantly fall into a Southeast Asian exotic time and space. The aroma of street food mingles with folk songs—Lao iced coffee, pounded chicken feet, mango sticky rice... enjoy a different feast every night by the Lancang River! ✨ Nearby travel guide • Only 500 meters from the Golden Pagoda Temple, perfect for shooting Dai costume photos early before tourists arrive • Free hotel shuttle to Manting Park to experience the royal charm of the Dai King’s garden • 10-minute taxi to the Primitive Forest Park, where dancing with peacocks feels like a dream • Convenient electric bike rentals nearby, riding through the tropical rainforest is super romantic 💎 Hidden gems The front desk staff will quietly tell you about local secret spots: a Dai pottery workshop away from the crowds, a tea room with views of the Lancang River, and a barbecue stall open until 3 a.m... Here, by day you’re a runaway princess of the tropical rainforest, and by night a foodie adventurer of the Starlight Night Market~ If you want a holiday blessed by elephants, this hotel is definitely the smartest way to experience Gaozhuang! 📍Location: Inside Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong City (search “Jixianggu Hotel” for navigation)
