[2024 Jinghong Stay] Travel Guide for Clouds . Starry Hotel (Updated Dec)
banna Cloud Star Shore
The night view of Banna is really beautiful!
This photo was taken at the rooftop pool of the hotel~ The hotel's perspective is great, offering a bird's eye view of Banna's unique cityscape. It has a bit of the vibe of Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers, very atmospheric and photogenic. It's really beautiful.
The hotel design is very high-end~ You can tell it's very artistic just from the lobby on the first floor. The hotel also offers butler service, which is super considerate and enthusiastic. The room we stayed in had a transparent bubble pool 🛁, very clean.

Countless high-altitude swimming pools! But this one stands out alone!
Its rooftop outdoor swimming pool
can be said to be legendary
In all of Xishuangbanna, I would call it the best
The hotel's overall decoration is modern and luxurious
The rooms are standard, with a pretty large area
The location is also very good, right next to the Lancang River
Going downstairs and through the back, you enter the Gaozhuang Xishuangjing area
The hotel's facilities are also very complete
Gym, laundry room, and of course, a swimming pool
Now let's talk about the outdoor swimming pool that caught my eye at first glance
It's simply a paradise for photographers
No matter how you take pictures, they turn out amazing
The infinity pool overlooks the entire Gaozhuang night scene
A full-on dazzling and luxurious feeling
There's also an open-air bar by the pool
After swimming, a couple of friends can have a drink
It's truly the epitome of worldly pleasures

Escape the cold in Xishuangbanna this winter 🤣

[Notes]
1. Xishuangbanna is really warm in winter, with an average temperature of 20°C ☀, a perfect place to escape the cold!
2. The night view of the Starlight Night Market is beautiful, but be careful with the photos 🚫, as many makeup and post-editing skills are not good ❌, so compare carefully.
3. Hotel prices in Xishuangbanna rise during the winter holidays 📈, and it's hard to book, so if you're not good at planning, you can join a family tour, which is convenient.
4. Remember to bring chocolate, snacks, etc. for energy during rainforest hiking, so the kids won't get hungry and give up.

Beautiful infinity pool hotel in Xishuangbanna! Super photogenic!
Everyone, Xishuangbanna is really great😎! The hotel I chose this time is really amazing👏.
🌃The night view of the high-altitude swimming pool, wow😍, it’s so worth it! It’s really beautiful🥰. When I was there at night, I felt like I spent a small amount of money but enjoyed a luxurious experience, haha😜. You can overlook the night view of Gaozhuang, and you can also see the beautiful sunset over the swimming pool. The scene is simply 🤩.
💪The hotel facilities are very complete. There is a bar 🥂 where you can have a drink; there is a gym where you can exercise at any time; and there is also a laundry room, which is super convenient. There are also many types of breakfast, including Chinese and Western styles, which can fully satisfy our tastes😋.
📸There is also an excellent Trip Moments service here, the style is beautiful, and many celebrities have come to check in✨. The hotel is of five-star standard, and the service is butler-style, super considerate🥰. Free pick-up from the airport and station, which is great👍.
Moreover, it is only a five-minute walk from the gate of Gaozhuang. When ordering takeout, a robot will deliver it to the door of your room. This is so smart🤖.
🥂The special afternoon tea at the infinity pool is also very good. Enjoy it with friends and enjoy it😃.
💕This hotel is really better than many hotels I have stayed in that cost thousands of dollars! Remember to take photos of the night scene, it’s really photogenic📷!

Xishuangbanna 6D5N Photo Guide.
For those who love taking photos, a trip is not complete without taking a ton of photos! So, this time in Xishuangbanna, I chose where to stay and eat based on where I could take the best photos. After experiencing it myself, I want to share some outfit and photo spot ideas with my sisters who are planning to visit Xishuangbanna!!
Photos 2-4: Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I would say this is the most worthwhile attraction of this trip to Xishuangbanna.
Photos 5-7: Manting Park and Zongfo Temple (Zongfo Temple is right next to the exit of Manting Park, but you can't wear short skirts or sleeveless tops in Zongfo Temple. You might not be able to enter if you're wearing rented Dai costumes, so you need to bring another set of clothes or a jacket)
Photos 8-10: Siva Oasis Resort, Egyptian design style.
Photos 11-12: Cloud Star Hotel, the selling point is its rooftop pool. It's perfect for taking photos during the blue hour, and you'll feel like you're in Kuala Lumpur in a second.
Photo 13: Ben's House, it has a bit of a Thai vibe.
Photo 14: Chunsanxi Shangbanshan Hotel, the green pool on the hillside will make you feel like you're in the Maldives in a second.
Photos 15-16: Xia Wang Southeast Asian Restaurant
Photo 17: Thaibanna Select Designer Thai Restaurant (same restaurant where Zhao Lusi took photos)
Photo 18: Puzuo Rainforest Thai Restaurant (I don't really recommend this one, the food is not good, and there's only one small corner where you can take photos of the big golden pagoda)
Photo 19: Lai Zhen Xiaoyuan, Starlight Night Market Branch, a restaurant I stumbled upon. The food was surprisingly good and the second-floor terrace is perfect for taking photos. It has a strong vacation vibe.

Don't miss out on taking stunning photos at the infinity pool opposite the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur
Skywalk at the Twin Towers
A panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur at night
A mini bar by the pool and open-air movies
Poetically residing in this tranquil place
High-altitude infinity pool
It's like traveling through time to Kuala Lumpur
The Twin Towers stand like two giant palm trees right in front of you
When night falls
The dazzling night view comes into sight
Like a beautiful painting
Overlooking the infinity pool under the starry sky from above
It feels like being in a combination of a bustling city and a tranquil countryside
Neon lights flicker
Like the curtain of a secret fairyland slowly opening
Here
Every drop of water's leap is accompanied by the whisper of the wind
Every breath is filled with the fragrance of the night
The wine in the glass complements the starlight
Stories dance with the stars
The comfortable bed and thoughtful service in the room
Make you feel the warmth of home
It's a 10-minute drive from the Gaozhuang Scenic Area
You can enjoy a peaceful life
And conveniently tour the surrounding attractions
Come to Xishuangbanna, don't miss out❗

Sky-high infinity pool on the top floor of Banna!! It's truly amazing!!
Honestly, although I always knew hotels were competitive, I never expected to encounter the ultimate competitor. Have you ever seen a hotel pool in the sky? I was shocked when I first found out, but after staying there, I felt that although it was unbelievable, it was also very magical!
-
Who can refuse the all-inclusive butler service! They arrange everything for you perfectly, and the experience of the rooftop pool feels like a movie scene with just a casual snap. I originally just wanted to stay at a hotel, but unexpectedly, I ended up enjoying the fun of shooting a movie!
-
In addition to the endless pool, there is also a gym, travel photography services, and more. There's nothing you can think of that they don't offer! The most important thing is that the living environment is particularly good, even the bedding is from the DA brand!
