𝘿𝙖𝙮2️⃣ Wild Elephant Valley and Primeval Forest Park 📍Wild Elephant Valley (admission 58 RMB): Get in before 9 AM for the best chance of a spot! There's an elephant viewing path and elephant shows (two shows at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM). 📍Primitive Forest Park: The peacock release show is stunning (10:00 AM and 2:00 PM), and the tropical valley rainforest hike is incredibly cool. 𝘿𝙖𝙮3️⃣ Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden + Dai Garden 📍Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden (80 yuan admission): We recommend taking the electric car. The Victoria Regency Pond and the Exotic Flower Garden are must-sees. 📍Dai Garden (45 yuan admission): The daily Water Splashing Festival at 1:30 PM is a blast! Remember to bring extra clothes and a waterproof phone bag. 𝘿𝙖𝙮4️⃣ Manting Park + Zongfo Temple 📍Manting Park: Watch a performance at the Elephant School (10:30 AM/2:50 PM). Wear Dai clothing for photos with the royal elephants (not included in the photo). 📍 Zongfo Temple: A magnificent Theravada Buddhist temple. Avoid overalls. 𝘿𝙖𝙮5️⃣ Kunming/Lincang Dai Village In-Depth Tour Recommended: Century Road Dai Family Restaurant. Their spicy and sour fish and pineapple rice are incredible! Afterward, explore the Dai Village and buy handmade brocade souvenirs. ✅ Value Experiences: ▫️ Overlooking Gaozhuang at night from the Atour Hotel's rooftop pool ▫️ Herding elephants in the Wild Elephant Valley rainforest (advance reservations required) ▫️ Night tour of the Botanical Garden to see fireflies (May-September only) ⚠Practical Tips: 1. Remember to bargain at the night market! You can't go wrong with snacks that have long lines. 2. Reserve your seat 30 minutes in advance for all performances, and bring sandals for the Water Splashing Festival. 3. Sun protection: a hat, sleeves, and sunscreen (UV rays are incredibly strong in this area). 4. Chartering a car is the best deal, with a 5-day tour costing over 1,000 RMB per person, including hotel tickets. The night view of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is breathtaking. It's as exotic as Chiang Mai, Thailand, but only half the price of Sanya! Spicy and sour food lovers definitely want to go! #Xishuangbanna Travel Guide #Yunnan Niche Travel #Water Splashing Festival Check-in #Budget Travel Can Be Wonderful #Gaozhuang Night Market Food
