Dai Township Water City | Another great place to visit in Banna for moms
| Another great place to visit in Banna for moms. Today, Whale Tail is also insisting on taking mom out~
To let mom conquer the high ground of the ticket circle, I frantically searched for places in Banna suitable for Northeastern aunts, and I actually found one.
Approaching 'Dai Township Water City,' you can see the very characteristic red brick buildings, which you can pretend to be in Thailand. But actually, this place was originally a sales center, later discovered to be a good spot for taking photos, and recently it has been occupied by Northeastern aunts.
Take a taxi directly to 'Red House · Coffee and Tea,' one drink can be exchanged for one outfit change, we ordered one passion fruit drink and one Lao coffee☕️, the taste of the drinks was average, and the Lao coffee had a very low coffee content, more like drinking sweet water.
Actually, buying a set of Dai clothing at the riverside night market or the trade market is only about 35 yuan, but we don't like having a lot of things, so we chose to change outfits in the store. If you have already bought Dai clothing, there is no need to come to this store.
Since it's an idle sales center, the scenery is free, you can take photos as long as you want, and it's still very joyful. Mom changed into two sets of clothes in total, and after sending the photos to the ticket circle, she also received nearly a hundred likes. Successfully received a wave of praise from mom👏

Xishuangbanna Dai Township Water City - No Admission Fee, Free Parking|| You sure know how to have a good time!
Address, Jinghong City, Yunnan Province
The "Dai Township Water City" project is located in the central area of Jinghong City, starting from the North Ring Road in the north, Menghai Road in the south, Moli Road in the west, and Minhang Road and Nanyao Garden in the east.
According to the planning plan, the implementation area is about 1994 acres (including 428 acres of the eastern water system and 1566 acres of the central and western water systems), with a planned investment of about 1.6 billion yuan in public infrastructure, divided into three water systems: east, central, and west for construction.
The main idea is to divert water from the Lancang River to dredge, manage, and transform the three natural water systems formed in the urban area of Jinghong City, to restore the original water systems to the greatest extent, and to combine the construction of Jinghong Power Station and Ganlanba Power Station to plan the normal water level elevation of the natural water systems reasonably, to improve the current water quality of the urban area, and to dredge, connect, and plan the construction of a water leisure loop, five waterfront sections, five commercial districts, and twelve artificial lakes.
The above is from the official introduction, and now this is a great place for people to enjoy for free.
🌈 The light is suitable around 8:00-9:00 in the morning and around 17:00 in the afternoon, which is the best time for taking photos.

Xishuangbanna is an off-the-beaten-path destination
If you want to stay away from popular tourist spots and escape crowded places, then I recommend these 4⃣️ hidden gems in Xishuangbanna:
✅Prajna Temple:
The silver-white temple is stunning under the sunlight. It is located on a mountain, and although the temple is not large, its architecture is extremely exquisite and luxurious. The multi-faced golden Buddha inside the white pagoda is both mysterious and sacred.
This is a unique white temple, and it's not far from Gaozhuang, making it worth a visit‼️
✅Manduo Ancient Village
The various villages and ancient fortresses around Jinghong are the best experiences to understand the local customs of Banna.
The popular Manyuan Village and Manzhang Village are too far from Gaozhuang, and a round-trip taxi ride can cost up to a hundred or two hundred. However, the nearby Manduo Ancient Village is small and still retains its thousand-year history and appearance. An hour's stroll is enough to see the ancient springs, ancient trees, and ancient temples, all of which are very distinctive. If you get tired, you can have afternoon tea at the 'Manduo Courtyard,' one of the few restaurants in the village.
✅Dai Xiang Water City
The architecture is very beautiful, and it's a more niche spot for photos than the Starlight Night Market. There aren't many people taking pictures in Dai Xiang Water City, so you can take your time. The best photo spot is next to the stone beasts by the river, where you can capture people and buildings from the opposite side or the bridge, filled with exotic charm.
Next to Dai Xiang Water City is the barbecue restaurant (Mazha Barbecue) that survived the big fire in Banna.
✅Mengyuan Wonderland
Trekking in the tropical rainforest is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The rainforest trek takes over 3 hours, wading through rivers, walking mountain paths, observing animals and plants, swinging on swings, eating the heart of banana stems... so many unforgettable memories.

Travel in Xishuangbanna, the sky is bright and the water is moist, the Dai people are few and the crowd is small, and the photos are taken for sightseeing on the water bank
🌴As a free scenic spot, Daixiang Water City is a special existence in Xishuangbanna. Avoiding the crowd, there are not many people here but the scenery is beautiful and out of the picture, not only can you enjoy a moment of peace alone, but also take a large picture of the tropical Dai style, without saying much, let's set off now.

🌟Water bank, white clouds and blue sky
Walking along the water bank, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water, and the water is clear and reflects the whole scene. Standing by the water, there is a slow sense of wandering through the years. Sitting on the bank and drinking a cup of coffee, it has a different taste.
🌟Dai style tropical style
Along the way, some buildings with strong Dai style come into view, the carvings of buildings and bridges, plus the decoration of tropical plants, wrap this Dai village picture with a unique style.
🌟Few people, small crowd, out of the picture
There are many very famous scenic spots in Xishuangbanna with many tourists, and the popular scenic spots are even crowded with people. And such a small scenic spot, there is really no one, you can take a large picture of the water bank at will.
🌴Tired of the crowds and seas of people squeezing in popular scenic spots, Daixiang Water City is a unique existence. Few people are not tired and easily out of the picture, hurry up and check in.

Dai Township Water Town is now a good place for tourism
Pay attention to Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture
Xishuangbanna is better than Manting Park for taking pictures of lesser-known places
The advantage of coming to Xishuangbanna in the off-season is
Comfortable temperature, good for shopping and eating, the key is that there are fewer people and it is suitable for punching cards. Compared with going to the crowded Manting Garden (I went the next day), this place is really great for taking pictures!! The key is also free!! A whole Thai-style building!
Walking along the small river and arch bridge all the way forward, I found several suitable places for taking pictures!! There is a kind of deja vu of traveling through Southeast Asia
This red house is actually a coffee shop where you can change into Dai clothes and take pictures at will! It is recommended to wear brighter clothes in the afternoon!! The light is softer
