Xishuangbanna Yi Autonomous Prefecture is located in the southern border of Yunnan Province. Some representative stone tools have been unearthed in Xishuangbanna. Through archaeological excavations of Jingha cave site, it is proved that in the Paleolithic era 22,000 years ago, Xishuangbanna has human reproduction.

Xishuangbanna National Museum is located in Xishuangbanna Mengle Cultural Tourism Zone, opposite Manhebang Village and Jiumu Rainforest Community. 🛂【Free】Free opening without tickets and reservations, health code verification and package security check at the door. 🏯【Facilities】The museum is majestic and built on the mountain, with a wide square and fountain in front of the door⛲️ The parking lot is large, with only one car. It feels like a private place in the afternoon, and there are no other tourists. It was closed for a long time during the epidemic, and it has just been opened. Some of the status in the map and online query have not been updated. 🌺【Exhibition】The main building has three floors, with two elevators in the middle. 1⃣The first floor⬅️On the left is the newly opened "Xishuangbanna Poverty Alleviation Exhibition", and the exhibition is still under construction.

The Chinese nation is really rich. As ethnic minorities in the tropical rainforest, the clothing culture is obviously different, and many ethnic groups do not have their own writing. The Dai people are one of the few ethnic groups with writing, and they have rich literary works such as poetry📚 3⃣The exhibition hall on the third floor is not open. 📌【Summary】As a local museum in Xishuangbanna, it is a good place to learn about local history and culture. 🚧The facilities are old and the maintenance is not in place. Some booths are empty and covered with dust; the glass of the booths is full of soil and has not been cleaned for a long time; the TV and multimedia facilities in the exhibition hall are not open or damaged. Some exhibition halls and screening rooms on the second and third floors🎥 are not open, and the interior is messy. I like to visit museums everywhere, and this is the most dilapidated one. 🍀We hope to strengthen maintenance and management so that more tourists can understand the ethnic culture and history of Xishuangbanna🐘
