Yunnan Xishuangbanna Travel Guide

On the first day, I went to Mengle Buddha Temple right after getting off the plane - taking an electric car up the mountain, the exterior of the building is very magnificent, with different human-faced beasts guarding all four doors, suitable for photo check-ins, it feels like Thailand, but the palace interior is not yet open for entry, can only visit around, down the palace is the spectacular and sacred statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, not many attractions, about 1 hour can be finished. The next morning at half past eight, I started to go to - Wangtianshu Scenic Area, because I stayed in a hotel near Gaozhuang last night, it's far from Wangtianshu, so I set off early, Wangtianshu is a must-visit attraction in my opinion, not heavily commercialized, fully immersive in nature, various types of trees, Tyndall effect, and the rope on the tree more than 80 meters high, very interesting, can take pictures of outdoor adventure, through the tropical rainforest feel, highly highly highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (In the evening, I had the very popular peacock rice, very distinctive, first time eating insects, tastes a bit like shrimp strips, this kind of meal is not hot, it's all prepared in advance and plated, so it's a bit cold to eat, not recommended for those with poor digestion) After dinner, I went to Gaozhuang for a photo shoot, went to - Star Image Museum, bought 198 yuan 25 film 4 retouched 1 set of clothes, makeup and hair took about an hour, very delicate 'painted by a Northeastern girl, a bit unfriendly in speech, but very good at painting', overall service in the store is also very good, the shooting guy helped us find less crowded places '⚠️taking pictures on the boat costs 20 yuan', so there are no passers-by in the photos, took about two hours to finish, already exhausted, returned to the hotel to rest at more than two in the morning, after removing makeup and washing, it was about three or four in the morning before I went to sleep🥱! The third day it rained and I went to Dadugang Ten Thousand Mu Tea Field - it's not the time to pick tea, tasted a few varieties, I like Yiwu raw tea, bought some, and was given a lot of other flavors of Pu'er tea, change to drink at home, in the afternoon went to Wild Elephant Valley to have an elephant meal, I think the elephant meal is better than the peacock meal, maybe this fruit is more abundant, watched the elephant performance, there is a rainforest performance I didn't watch, too tired went to a less crowded place nearby to have Dai-style milk tea, here is very commercialized, not very interesting to me. In the afternoon at more than four o'clock, I went to Manting Park again, the backyard of the Dai king, more palace buildings, a popular attraction, also very commercialized, those who want to take Dai photos for check-in can come, just appreciate the attractions. In the evening, I went to eat mushroom hot pot, maybe I'm not used to it, not recommended, after a day's walk, my body was sore and I found a nearby Dai spa - Daizan Source, Dai-style chicken killing plus medicinal wine massage 65 minutes 138, really stretched my whole body, there will be sales in the middle, but the overall experience is okay. The fourth day I took the park sightseeing car to - Primitive Forest, here there are peacocks flying and water splashing festival activities, but I didn't watch, I went to Line A to play high-altitude rope, 160 yuan 7 projects, girls with good physical strength can go, there are many climbing in the middle, the hemp rope is a bit abrasive, you can prepare a pair of gloves in advance, very exciting! In the evening, I stayed at Wyndham Hotel, I really like this, there is a swimming pool and a small balcony, the environment is also very nice!

Xishuangbanna feels like summer all year round

Jinghong City's Dajinta Temple is located at the site of the ancient Buddha Temple Wazhuang De, which dates back over 1300 years, and is now the main temple of Jinghong City, overseeing all 205 temples in Jinghong. It is a sacred place for the dissemination of Theravada Buddhist culture. Right next to Dajinta Temple is the famous internet celebrity check-in spot 'Gaozhuang Xishuangjing', which in Dai language means 'Nine Pagodas and Twelve Villages'. It is open to the public with no admission fee. Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is the first impression of Xishuangbanna, with various internet celebrities and unique photography teams from all over the country streaming in continuously, and travel photography shops can be seen everywhere. The predecessor of Manting Royal Garden was the Royal Garden of the Dai King. It has inherited over 1300 years of history and culture and is the soul of Dai culture in Xishuangbanna. The garden that visitors see today has been rebuilt based on the relics of the Royal Garden. Upon entering, there is a bronze statue of Zhou Enlai, commemorating his participation in the Dai Water-Splashing Festival in 1961, which is also a display of red culture. In the Dai ethnic exhibition hall, the zodiac has the elephant replacing the pig; when in Xishuangbanna, those born in the year of the pig should follow local customs and consider themselves born in the year of the elephant. Manting Park and the main temple are separated by just one door. The white pagoda in Manting Park is merely a decoration, with empty niches, and the building is only for tourists to take photos. In contrast, the white pagoda of the main temple is the tomb of the last Dai King. Mengle Great Buddha Temple was rebuilt on the original site of the royal temple 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple' of the ancient Dai dynasty. 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple' was built by a Dai King named Balong in memory of his deceased queen, Nansha Weibian. The queen was a devout Buddhist, so on every festival, the Dai King would personally visit the temple to hold large-scale Dharma assemblies to commemorate his beloved queen and promote Buddhism. Jingpiao Hall, the core building of the entire temple, is also where monks gather for daily practice. It is the essence of Xishuangbanna architecture, with a strong local style. Prajna Temple is located on the back half of the mountain in Manzhen Village, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, away from the bustling city, in a tranquil environment. Prajna Temple was founded in 833 and is a Buddhist temple, meaning 'wisdom that penetrates everything'. It has been rebuilt, and the temple is not large, with only one main hall. In the middle of the main hall is a large pagoda. Apart from the golden Buddha statue enshrined within, the architecture itself is symmetrical from any angle, giving it a sense of solid balance. The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a paradise for plant lovers, where many rare and exotic plants can be seen.

The Banna Starlight Night Market is filled with exotic charm

After the first sentence, the translation continues: Jinghong Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area features the 'Nine Pagodas and Twelve Villages' with strong Dai and Thai regional characteristics, as well as a collection of fantastical and fashionable landmark buildings. It also boasts the world's largest stall night market, which not only recreates the grandeur of ancient Jinghong City but also embodies the urban character of Xishuangbanna that bridges the past and present, and blends Chinese and Western cultures. Many stall owners in the Starlight Night Market wear traditional Dai costumes and attract customers with their distinctive Northeastern Chinese accent, making visitors feel somewhat bewildered, unsure of where they are. Everywhere you look, there are travel photography subjects like Dai princesses on the run, creating a truly magical atmosphere. During the Dragon Year Spring Festival, this place is extraordinarily lively and popular, leaving a lasting impression on those who visit. Due to traffic congestion, we accidentally parked our car about 1.5 kilometers away from the core attraction, the Dajin Pagoda Temple, at the Jinghong Riverside Service Parking Lot. The parking fee was 9 yuan for over three hours. Although we had to walk a bit more, avoiding the traffic jam made it feel worthwhile.
