I spent three days in Xishuangbanna, and my spending habits have been completely shattered.

Xishuangbanna, a tropical rainforest kingdom located in the border area of Yunnan, is definitely a place that will leave you wanting more! 🌴 Must-see attractions: 1. Wild Elephant Valley 🐘 - This is the habitat of Asian elephants, and you may have the chance to observe elephants up close! You can also take a cable car to overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire valley. 2. Menglun Botanical Garden 🌿 - With tens of thousands of tropical plants, it feels like walking into a huge green maze, perfect for taking photos. 3. Jinghong Golden Pagoda 🕌 - A sacred place of Theravada Buddhism, the golden buildings shine brightly in the sun, making it a great place to experience Buddhist culture. 4. Manting Park 🏞️ - The oldest park in Xishuangbanna, with not only beautiful natural scenery but also rich historical and cultural relics. 5. Starlight Night Market 🌃 - Bustling at night, with a variety of snacks and handicrafts, you can also enjoy Dai song and dance performances. 6. Primitive Forest Park 🌲 - Preserving a large amount of primitive forest landscape, walking on the forest trails feels like being in a huge natural oxygen bar. 7. Wangtianshu Scenic Area 🌳 - Here is the world's highest aerial corridor, where you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire tropical rainforest. Food recommendations: • Dai-style barbecue 🍢 - Various meats and vegetables are grilled on charcoal, sizzling and delicious when dipped in special sauces! • Pineapple rice 🍍 - Pineapple is used as a container, filled with sweet glutinous rice and various nuts, with a rich taste. • Bamboo tube rice 🍲 - Fresh bamboo tubes are filled with glutinous rice and spices and roasted, with the fragrance of bamboo and the sweetness of glutinous rice perfectly blended. Transportation: Xishuangbanna Gasa International Airport has direct flights to various parts of the country, which is very convenient. In the city, you can take a bus, taxi, or rent an electric bike to get around. Accommodation: From luxury hotels to budget hotels and homestays, there are many options. If you want to experience authentic Dai culture, you can choose to stay in a homestay in a Dai village; if you want to enjoy the tranquility of the seaside, you can choose to stay in a river-view room in Jinghong City. Remember to book in advance! Tips: • Xishuangbanna has a tropical rainforest climate, warm and humid all year round, so remember to bring sunscreen and rain gear. • When trying local food, you can choose the level of spiciness according to your taste, as Dai food is usually spicy. • When visiting scenic spots, please respect local customs and the natural environment, and do not litter.
