    "New Dai Show" has the highest rating among at least the three shows in Jinghong City. I have watched "A Thousand Years of Love" and "Princess Wencheng" shows in Lhasa many times. It feels similar to the "A Thousand Years of Love" series. It is clear that the cast and crew are dedicated and affectionate. The boys and girls are handsome and beautiful.

    I visited this place on December 4th, 2025, at noon. It's free to enter, and the temple is located on a hilltop next to Gasa Airport, offering views of planes taking off and landing. The white stupa in the temple is exquisite and majestic, truly shining brightly under the blue sky and white clouds. It's also a popular spot for tourists to take photos. Many visitors pour water on the ground in front of the stupa and take pictures of its reflection, which is very beautiful.

    The scenery was beautiful, but since it's this season, most of the fruits were gone. Besides some papayas and jackfruits, there were very few others. However, it's still worth a visit for tourists from northern regions.

    The park isn't very big overall, and the facilities are indeed old. However, for 40 yuan, seeing so many animals is still reasonably priced. You can also visit the adjacent ethnic minority cultural park while you're there.

    The reflection of the Golden Buddha Temple is stunning, and the mechanical elephant parade at 3 pm and the peacock release at 3:40 pm are spectacular. Perhaps because it's winter, the water splashing event at 4 pm was a bit quiet. The one-way shuttle bus was too expensive.

    The environment was great, the scenery was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The food was also good, but there were two types of meals: a regular meal and a VIP meal, with an additional charge of 88 yuan for the difference. Normally, that's the price. I sincerely suggest finding someone inside who can find shortcuts and probably save you money. I only found out about this after I paid, so I didn't get any real savings.

    It was quite exciting to take a speedboat. It swayed left and right on the Lancang River, splashing water. The transvestite show at the back was also okay. It was not expensive to take a photo for 50 yuan, and you could also eat some fruit.

    Locals like to visit the night market by the river At 20:40 on March 19, 2025, I bought a bag of dried jackfruit for 5 yuan. It tasted good. I ate while watching. It rained today, so it was not crowded. The night market by the river is a night market that locals like to go to. It is usually very popular and crowded. The night market mainly features food and handicrafts, including Dai barbecue snacks, freshly squeezed juice, banana Balada and other special snacks. You can eat from the beginning to the end of the street without getting bored. The snacks are concentrated in the southern section, and the stalls near the bridge in the north are handicrafts.

    Jinghong Dajin Pagoda Temple, also known as Jinghong Zongfo Temple or Xishuangbanna Dajin Pagoda Temple, is situated on the banks of the Lancang River within the Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area. A sacred site of Theravada Buddhism, it oversees 205 temples within Jinghong City. Its architectural features are classic Southeast Asian style. The main tower stands 66.6 meters tall, symbolizing the connection of six kingdoms along the river. Its ochre-red body and gilded top are surrounded by four adjacent towers. Its quadrilateral structure faces China, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar.

    Southeast Asian style is all the rage. The lighting and architecture have a strong Southeast Asian feel. Most tourists are from Northeast China, but there are people from all over the country. A beautiful young woman took some amazing photos during her travels. Rows and rows of delicious food were laid out.
