    When traveling to Xishuangbanna, I specifically hired a car to visit the boundary marker and border line. I booked tickets for two people online, so there was no need to pick up tickets on-site; I could just scan the code to enter the park, which was very convenient. The village is small, so there's no need to hire a guide. Just follow the signs, walk around, and stop as you please until you reach the boundary marker. After visiting the boundary marker, we had lunch nearby; 28 yuan per person was a reasonable price.

    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 cable car 🚡 ride was absolutely beautiful, with all the greenery and mist rising. But, it’s 40 minutes one way. You can walk back, which is pretty and easy enough. Feeding the elephants was fun for the kids, but lasts seconds and everyone was shoving my kids to get to the front. The rest was kind of just meh. Elephants performing. I just hope they’re being treated ok. It was very crowded, despite being off season. My daughter really loved seeing the elephants up close, but it just could have offered more education and interest.

    You can go. It's the 7D movie. It's not good to put backpacks on the ground (they said to put them under the chairs, but actually it was the ground under the chairs). There is a small table but you can't put them there. They said you can put more bags there. In fact, there were only two bags in our row, so they could fit them. Even if they couldn't, the scenic spot should add tables. But overall it's good.

    Thanks to Guide No. 93, Xingxing, for my Jinuo Mountain rainforest hike, the experience was absolutely fantastic! His explanations were incredibly clear and fluent, covering even the smallest details of the rainforest, which I learned a lot from. The route was perfectly planned, making the hike very comfortable and effortless. The activities were fun and exciting, and I had a blast the whole time. The best part was the photography; Xingxing took amazing pictures, with perfect composition and angles, and he was also very humorous, ensuring we had a great time. He's definitely worth choosing!

    I visited here on December 4th, 2025. It's about an hour's drive from Gaozhuang in Xishuangbanna, quite far, and public transportation is inconvenient, making it more suitable for a road trip. There's a 10 yuan fee per vehicle to enter the village, but no entrance fee. The village is small and very quiet. It's a Dai village, and every house is quite spacious, with beautiful flowers blooming in the courtyards. Mango and jackfruit trees are scattered throughout the yards. There are cafes, restaurants, guesthouses, and shops selling local specialties. Eating and drinking are plentiful and inexpensive. There's also a beautiful and sizable Dai temple in the village. It's a great place for a slow-paced trip, enjoying the tranquility, nature, comfortable sunshine, and beautiful scenery.

    It was a wonderful experience. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, we went for a rainforest hike in the natural oxygen bar of Jinuo Mountain. The rainforest feast exceeded our expectations. Special praise to our guide, Teacher Xingxing, who helped us catch small crabs, frogs, and mangosteens – very thoughtful!

    The entrance fee to the Dai Ethnic Garden is not expensive, but the sightseeing bus fare inside is quite expensive at 60 yuan per person. Moreover, the staff said that if you want to see the water splashing, you can't sit on the sightseeing bus and have to walk. The management is rather chaotic and needs improvement.

    Visiting the Pu'er Museum to View Wa History and Costumes March 23, 2025, 11:48 AM: Visited the Pu'er Museum to view the history and costumes of the Wa people in Pu'er. The Wa people originated from the ancient "Pu" tribe and are one of the indigenous ethnic groups of Pu'er City. They are mainly distributed in Ximeng, Lancang, and Menglian counties. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, most Wa areas were still in the stage of transition from primitive society to class society, making them a nation that leaped directly from primitive society to socialist society. According to the 2011 census, there were 150,000 Wa people, accounting for 5.91% of the city's total population. The Wa language belongs to the Wa-Beng branch of the Mon-Khmer language family within the Austroasiatic language family. The Wa people generally believe in primitive religion, manifested in animism, nature worship, and ancestor worship, venerating "Muyiji" as the god who created all things. Traditional festivals mainly include: the Wooden Drum Festival, the New Rice Festival, and the New Water Festival.
