This wasn't on our tour but you can see it from the airport so we insisted we go. AMAZING!!! It is huge so be prepared for a walk but every level in incredible! Unfortunately a storm rolled in so we rushed, didn't want to be on the metal observation deck during lightening but even that lent to beautiful photos. We got the trolly back down which was nice but I'd suggest walking up. This was an absolute highlight of our trip!

This was the first temple we went to in Xishuangbanna and what a great start! I loved watching everyone dressed up so beautifully, all the wedding photos were lovely. You will see that around town and at manny temples. Bring a hat (or buy one there like I did), I hate hats but I decided I rather a hat than a sunburn. Once again my guide never told me where I could and couldn't go but I learnt after that I could have gone in the red building which would have been lovely. So lesson learnt, go where you want and if you get sent out atleast you know for sure.

Xishuangbanna: Southeast Asia in China

Xishuangbanna, in the south of Yunnan Province, is like experiencing Southeast Asia without leaving Mainland China. Its intricate architecture, vast rainforests, delicious cuisine, and picturesque night markets are all reasons to visit. Must visit places: the Gaozhuang Night Market, Manting Park, and the Tropical Botanical Garden. Must try foods: Dai Feast 手抓饭, Coconut Ice Cream, Yunnan Vermicelli 米线, Baojiang Tofu 包浆豆腐, Wild Mushroom Hot Pot 菌菇火锅 But after a four day trip in the prefecture, I left with a conflicted feeling. Even though its cultures do overlap, is Banna trying too hard to be like Thailand, Laos, or Myanmar? #createwithtrip #culturewalk #naturewonders #yunnan

Xishuangbanna - Thailand of China

Getting There - Flights from most cities in China are relatively easy. I flew from Xi’an for around 900RMB because of the time of year I visited. The airport is quite close to the main city area of Xishuangbanna and a taxi from the airport to my hotel near Manting Park was just 15RMB. Attractions - Wild Elephant Valley, Manting Park, Mengle Cultural Park, Primitive Forest Park, Botanical Gardens, Ethnology Museum. Hotels - I stayed in 2 hotels while I was in Xishuangbanna, the first (Lavande Hotel) was near Manting Park but was noisy, dirty and felt like an unsafe area for a solo traveller. Also not much lies on this side of the river. I had a second hotel booked (Wanji Hotel) on the other side of the river which I was going to use for the second half of my trip, I moved to it earlier and loved it. The hotel room was huge and clean and the cost was quite cheap. Also it was just a 5 minute walk to the Night Markets and easy to access most other attractions from here. Food & Restaurants - Coconut Lailiao (Lunch), Meimei Cafe (Brunch), Flying Snake Brewery (Dinner). You have to try a coffee in a bag while here, I had a coconut latte and it was amazing! Shopping - Night Markets. They really do have everything here, souvenirs (handmade), food that you should try, and traditional outfits to try on and have photos with. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #summervacation #foodie #xishuangbanna #xishuangbannatravel

100 Ways of Travel in Xishuangbanna: Chinese Thailand

#100waysoftravel Xishuangbanna-dai Autonomous Region is located in southwestern China. It is abbreviated as Xishuangbanna. Dais live here - a mixture of Chinese and Thais. Or rather, assimilated Thais. They even have their own language - Dai. Since this territory is located on the border of China, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, there is a huge mix of cultures due to the fact that this territory has been changing hands for centuries. It's an incredible feeling when you travel inside a country, but you end up in another one (in this case, from China to Thailand). A few years ago, this place was of little interest to anyone. Now it has been turned into one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. This place is truly fascinating with its color, which is complemented by picturesque nature. There are a lot of mountains around, which, by the way, makes it difficult to get here by land transport. Those who like to immerse themselves in the culture of different peoples from the inside should come here. There are quite a few Dai settlements that can be visited by tourists. That is, you walk around the village and observe the life of the local people, and you can even enter some houses. Night markets are a separate attraction in China. But here they have their own unique appearance. Once you enter such a market, you will not immediately understand which country you are in, is it China, Laos or Thailand? Souvenirs, jewelry, food, clothes, photo shoots - whatever your heart desires. In winter, the daytime temperature does not drop below 20 degrees (on average 24-27), but it may be cool at night (up to 10-12 degrees , gymnasts and dancers who will make you believe in miracles.

This hotel in Xishuangbanna is quite dangerous!!!

This hotel in Xishuangbanna is quite dangerous!!!

Because after returning home, the person is still there, but the heart is lost🥹🥹 Hahaha, clickbaited you!!! But I really want to recommend this hotel Although it's a hotel that costs hundreds of yuan, it's really not inferior to those thousand-yuan hotels, the experience is very good 🔵The location is in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, less than ten minutes to the Starlight Night Market, and there are many delicious places nearby. The hotel has a shuttle service, call the butler whenever you need a ride 🔵Independent large garden, the swimming pool is full of design, French style is beautiful in every corner, there is a gym, steam room, children's area... the facilities are quite complete 🍽The breakfast is very rich in variety, which is quite important for foodies😋

Unique Xishuangbanna 🍍

🛑Getting There - there are 1h flights from Kunming or 3h speed trains 🛑Attractions - various temples, botanical gardens, forest parks, fruits and tea plantations 🛑Hotels - I'd recommend hotels around the night market area. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, bike rentals nearby 🛑Food & Restaurants - a great variety of places : Thai food, Nepalese, etc The trip to Xishuangbanna exceeded all expectations. Unique architecture, language,food and nature - all of it in one place. It gives you a feeling that different Asian cultures meet here. The highlight of the trip was a trek to the forest and exploring tea and pineapple plantations. That was unforgettable experience! #asiatrip #passionpassport#solotravel

Mengle Great Buddha Temple: A Sacred Spring Celebration

Mengle Great Buddha Temple: A Sacred Spring Celebration

#springwander Perched in Manlongfeng, the Mengle Great Buddha Temple stands as a serene sanctuary where tradition and tranquility meet. Although a modern addition to Jinghong’s landscape, its grand architecture and spiritual significance make it an unmissable experience. Beyond its peaceful courtyards, the temple also plays host to vibrant water-splashing festivities, embodying the joyous spirit of renewal that spring brings. Climb to the hilltop, and a breathtaking view of Jinghong unfolds—a sweeping panorama where the essence of the season lingers in every breeze. 🌿✨🛕💦

#favouriteitinerary Located in the southernmost part of Yunnan, Xishuangbanna is bordered by Laos and Myanmar, and it neighbors Thailand and Vietnam. The region is known for its dense and lush forests, abundant plant life, earning it the nickname "Kingdom of Plants." Xishuangbanna's scenic areas are divided into three major sections: Jinghong Scenic Area, Menghai Scenic Area, and Mengla Scenic Area. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Xishuangbanna is a botanical paradise. Its rich plant diversity and scenic beauty make it a fantastic destination for nature lovers and those interested in exploring unique ecosystems.

I never imagined…such amazing place!!!

Planning to visit Laos and Vietnam for the Chinese new year and my wife suggested to go first to Xishuangbanna and from there take the train to Laos..I didn’t know what to expect, first time for me in Yunnan…and I felt in love with this place, the atmosphere, the stunning beauty of the attractions we visited and of course with the food. Don’t forget to visit the local museum where you can understand the local history and culture and why this place belongs to the Autonomous Dai Prefecture in China.#historicallandmarks #deliciousfood
