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

Let’s explore Menghai in Xishuambanna

Getting There - Flight from Shanghai to Xishuambanna The time had finally come for me to book a little short vacation for the Christmas break. I’ve heard amazing reviews about Xishuambanna and opted to explore the area for a week. As I packed my bags, with an open mind and camera in tow I was excited to see what attractions I can see. We first explored Menghai a small town north of Xishuambanna, the landscape and architecture was heavily influenced by South-East Asia. I was quite surprised to learn about the ethnic proportions this region the “Dai” people. The food was spicy, fresh and healthy. The streets lined with flowers and the parks plush with an array of palm trees and gardens filled with a rainbow of colors. #yunnan #travel #xishuangbanna #xishuangbannatravel

Xishuangbanna 4D3N Travel Guide

Xishuangbanna 4D3N Travel Guide

Before the trip, I thought it would take at least 4 to 5 days to fully enjoy Xishuangbanna. But it turned out that 3 days were enough. Here is my itinerary for your reference: Day 1 Take a flight the night before and arrive at the hotel at around 11 pm. Then, go to Starlight Night Market. The clothes and slippers here are very affordable. Dai-style clothes are CNY 25 for a set of 5. Various vests and skirts are beautiful and cheap, and they look great in photos. After shopping, go to a nearby night market stall. The pounded chicken feet and grilled fish are super delicious. Highly recommended! Day 2 Wat Phra That Doi Wao - Manting Park (feed elephants, watch peacocks, and take photos of the sea of flowers) - Thai-style massage - Take photos at Starlight Night Market (If you are confident in your photography skills, just bring your own camera. The makeup in the night market is all the same, and I personally think it is not worth checking in) Day 3 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (The park is large, and it will take you most of the day. The sun is very strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun) - Have afternoon tea - Ride a sunset roller coaster - Have dinner - Visit the riverside night market - Watch the Mekong River show + release water lanterns Day 4 Golden Pagoda - Boro Temple - Mangguo Fruit Wholesale Market (The durians here are really delicious. I tried several kinds, and they all tasted great. Worth buying!) - Take a flight back Restaurants Yun Jing*Jiang Pan, Coco Thai Garden Restaurant, Xia Wang, Wan Thai, Xiao Yu Dai-style BBQ, Luo Luo Ice House, Bing Bing Liang, Man Fei Long Grilled Chicken, Chonburi Hotels InterContinental Xishuangbanna Resort: This hotel is very comfortable, and the park is large enough for a two-hour walk. The hotel offers a variety of special experiences, including Chinese, Western, and Dai restaurants. If you don't want to visit the attractions, staying in the hotel is also very pleasant. The hotel is full of lush plants, and it is a great place to take photos. Finally, remember to protect yourself from the sun.

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.

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. 🌿✨🛕💦

Hotel In Xishuangbanna! 🌴

While searching for a hotel to stay in Xishuangbanna I found this place! Hidden Garden Inn! They immediately added me on wechat and offered to pick me up at the airport! I loved the vibe of this hotel, and every DETAIL of it! It was a super tropical environment! The room has got everything you need, even a hot tub (had a really nice and relaxing bath in there 🤭)! I also decided to enjoy the swimming pool. They offer breakfast too, which was good! Most of the attractions or the places you wanted to see in the city center were just 20 min away by car! The price was also worth it for everything they offer! I really enjoyed my stay there! #summervacation #xishuangbannatravel #hotelstay #travelinspiration #china #tropicalvibes #solotravel
