More than 90,000 species records are open to the world! Located in southern Yunnan, this place is known as the "kingdom of animals and plants" and the "Chinese biological gene bank". If you come to Xishuangbanna for tourism, it is especially recommended to check in here!
1. It costs about 100 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the Botanical Garden of China Science Park, which is more than 50 kilometers. I feel that the taxi fare is more expensive than other cities.
2. You can let your children experience making royal water lilies. Some people say that it is 3D printed. I saw the staff lifting the royal water lilies, which should be more real.
3. It was a special place to take shelter from the rain by the lotus pond during intermittent heavy rain. The rain stopped quickly. After the rain, the road was foggy and it was really a sauna room.

Today, cloudy, soft light, gray clouds curtained karst theater, haze dyed the meteorite peak halo into ink book pages. Less sun-sun straightness, more implicit layers - limestone folds in diffuse light show the texture of wool, sword-like pillars pierce the low-hanging cloud, like the earth sending Morse codes to the sky. The gloomy sky made the red earth path more intense, and the Dai girl's embroidered belt jumped like a flame in the blue and gray background. At this time, the lens can capture the hardness of the stone forest and the softness of the clouds, just like the photo paper that God slowly swings in the shadow liquid.
The overall view of the scenic spot is still very refreshing and hygienic. It is recommended to go by yourself, don't follow the group, you can go to the depths of the stone forest and walk slowly with the periphery. The group is just a horse and a flower.

Come to Xishuangbanna still have to come and see, after all, there are local characteristics. Many girls bring photography to take pictures, magnificent and ethnic characteristics, very popular. If the weather is not hot, slowly stroll, and it will be better to experience it with heart.

It has Dai-style architecture, tropical plants, elephants and peacocks, which can be regarded as a microcosm of various scenic spots in Xishuangbanna.

The only wild elephant base in China, animal lovers should not miss it! 🐘 Greedy, beautiful, naughty, many of the same characteristics as me, not one is left behind. Lunch, long table elephant meal, beautiful and delicious, very satisfying to my elephant stomach. You can reserve an hour to enjoy it slowly, it is worth remembering. The elephants here are peaceful and comfortable, like humans enjoying their retirement, which is also the result of wild elephant protection work in China and abroad. Looking back, the place where Prince William visited China for the first time ten years ago; the story of the long march of the short-nosed elephant family a few years ago, which touched the hearts of people all over the world; are all vivid.
🎉Xishuangbanna Wild Elephant Valley is a unique natural journey.
As soon as you enter the scenic area, the dense tropical rainforest makes you feel like you are in a green wonderland, and the fresh air is refreshing. At the Asian Elephant Museum, you can gain a deep understanding of the evolutionary history and living habits of elephants and gain a lot of knowledge. If you are lucky, you may encounter the spectacular scene of wild elephants walking in the forest and drinking water by the river while walking on the high-altitude elephant viewing plank road.
However, although the elephant performance is wonderful, it also makes people feel complicated. Looking at the trained elephants, it is inevitable to feel sad for their situation. Moreover, there are many tourists in the scenic area, which will affect the experience of playing during peak hours. Overall, the Wild Elephant Valley is a place where people can get close to nature and feel the charm of nature, but there is still room for improvement in animal protection and tourist management. It is worth a visit, but you need to plan your itinerary reasonably and adjust your mentality.

The most relaxed way to go up to the West Mountain, the speed is also very fast, the sitting is also very stable, the view is also good, get off the cable car and go directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. Still more recommended
Taking the Kunming Dianchi Cableway is an unforgettable experience. First of all, the design of the cableway is very modern and colorful, leaving a deep impression. During the ride, the view is wide and you can see the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, especially at sunset, the scenery is even more beautiful. Meanwhile, the cableway runs very smoothly, making people feel comfortable and safe. Overall, the Dianchi Cableway in Kunming not only provides a great sightseeing experience, but also ensures the safety and comfort of passengers. This is definitely a recommended choice for those who like high-altitude sightseeing.

All kinds of ethnic minority buildings have everything. You don’t have to go to other places. You can feel the customs of various ethnic minorities in Yunnan in a place in Kunming, and there are regular performances that are worth watching. The performances of the Yi people are most recommended. The ladies are very beautiful. It is a great experience.
Very pleasant place, the tour guide explained that it felt very interesting, the scenery was delicious, the tea was delicious, the tea was chatting, it was very comfortable. There were 26 resident ethnic groups in Yunnan. The language and clothing of ethnic minorities had different beliefs, but they lived in harmony with the geographical environment.

The scenic spot takes a sightseeing bus to enter and exit, and the sightseeing bus has to be charged separately. There is nothing special. The most impressive thing is that the little monkeys standing on the bamboo raft waiting to eat are waiting. The peacocks are not seen, and the others are nothing. Suitable for couples, don't go with the elderly, it's not interesting.
Shuangbanna virgin forest park is very large, there are many vegetation inside, many are not seen, the most impressive is Wang Lian, there are people sightseeing cars all the way down, the air here is really good, it is a natural oxygen bar

**After the Yi Garden tour** The water splashing carnival and Yi style of the Yi Garden are so surprising! The blue water and blue sky, the magnificent temples, and the enthusiastic Yi compatriots are instantly surrounded by an exotic atmosphere. Taking pictures, playing in the water, tasting food, the experience is full ～ Especially to praise Trip.com It is super convenient to buy tickets! Get tickets online in advance, save the trouble of queuing, and enjoy discounts, save time and effort. It is simply a lazy gospel ～ Continue to lock Trip.com for the next trip!
The scenery is good and the environment is pleasant! Don't go on weekends or holidays, otherwise there will be a lot of people... The battery car is very convenient, saving a lot of time on the road... I like the customs of Banna... Easy and free... It is the temperature is higher...

The most worthwhile attractions in Xishuangbanna, take the children to the stream, climb, find crabs, mushrooms, very fun, and learn a lot of knowledge with the little brother of the Jino family, play very happily, the journey is also issued a certificate, the child is particularly happy.
The most favorite and most worthwhile trip to Xishuangbanna! We chose 4 kilometers on foot. At first, I was worried that the rain would be a bit dangerous, but the tour guide Xiao Zheng was very professional and patient. She helped us take the mountain road along the way and explained a lot of plant knowledge for us. The people were super nice and handsome. We experienced various projects such as swinging, climbing trees, shooting arrows and so on, which was a very memorable experience.
