I recommend this attraction in Xishuangbanna. It's worth a visit!

The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is like a living encyclopedia of plants. Over 10,000 rare plants grow here, from dancing grass to a single tree forest. Every step is a miracle of nature. There is no noise of the city here, only the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. Let your heart rest in this lush greenery, explore the mysteries of life and the poetry of nature, and enjoy a wonderful green date. 🕘[Opening Hours]: • West Gate: 8:30–18:00 • North Gate: 7:30–18:30 • East Gate: Open all day, but mainly a work passage. Vehicles of guests staying at the Botanical Garden Hotel enter and exit through the East Gate. 💴[Ticket Price]: CNY 80 per person ⛺[Things to Do]: 1. Sightseeing: You can stroll through the Flower Garden and enjoy the beautiful flowers in all seasons. Different flowers bloom in different seasons, such as cherry blossoms in spring, crape myrtle in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and camellias in winter. 2. Special Attractions: Victoria Water Lily Pond, in the Aquatic Garden, has huge leaves in summer, like floating green plates. When the leaves are in full bloom, children can sit on them. Palm Garden, with palm trees straight up to the sky, has leaves that are either wide like fans or slender like feathers. In the sunlight, the light and shadow are intertwined, full of tropical style. Banyan Garden, with banyan trees like a forest, has aerial roots hanging down and taking root in the ground, showing the power of nature and the miracle of life. The Garden of Rare Flowers and Exotic Plants has flowers that change color, clock flowers that bloom on time, dancing grass that trembles with music, pencil trees with only trunks and no leaves, and arrow poison trees that seal the throat when they see blood. All kinds of rare flowers and exotic plants are eye-opening. 3. Participate in Science Popularization Activities: The garden provides professional guides who will introduce the characteristics, growth habits, and ecological value of various plants in detail, so you can gain knowledge while playing. 4. Take a Hot Air Balloon: You can take a hot air balloon to overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire botanical garden and enjoy this green plant kingdom from the air from a different perspective. 5. Night Observation: Explore the nocturnal animals and plants in the park with a guide, such as spiders, stick insects, and garbage bugs, and observe the "flashing" spider eyes. Especially in summer, it is a good time to watch fireflies. Listen to frogs, find insects, listen to birds, and watch plants to feel the wonder of night creatures. 🚌[Transportation Guide]: Self-driving: It is about 70 km from Jinghong City, which takes 1–1.5 hours. The round-trip cost is about CNY 150–200 per day. Navigate to the West Gate of the Botanical Garden. Parking is convenient and free. Taxi: Take a taxi directly from downtown Jinghong to the Botanical Garden. The cost is about CNY 200. Charter: The round-trip cost is about CNY 350. You can usually visit other attractions such as the Dai Garden. 🧡[Preparation]: Light clothing: Xishuangbanna is hot and humid, so choose light, breathable, and sweat-absorbent clothing to stay comfortable while playing. Sunscreen: Bring a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. The sun is strong in tropical areas, so protect yourself from sunburn. Mosquito repellent: The botanical garden is densely vegetated, and there are many mosquitoes. Bring mosquito repellent, mosquito repellent bracelets, etc. You can also wear long sleeves and pants to reduce the chance of mosquito bites.
