2025 Jinghong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

Manting Imperial Garden 🪷 traces its origins back over 1,300 years to the royal garden of the Dai King. Once the royal garden of the Dai King, this site has now been transformed into a historical and cultural theme park open to tourists 🌿 If you're lucky, you might witness the "Parade of the Dai King and Queen" 👑. A procession in dazzling traditional costumes marches through the garden, recreating auspicious Buddhist rituals such as circling the white pagoda 👀. These ceremonies are said to carry wishes for the happiness of visitors 🙏. Additionally, the garden houses the "Manting Grand Buddha Temple," an active temple where worship continues to this day. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of Buddhist culture and even participate in prayers ✨. This spot perfectly combines history, nature, and entertainment, making it a quintessential Xishuangbanna destination 👏

Located in the mountains of Xishuangbanna, the Jinuo Shanzhai is a former Jinuo (Jino) village that has been renovated for tourism. 🌿 The Jinuo were the last ethnic minority group in China to be officially recognized (in 1979). Despite their relatively small population, their traditional lifestyle and culture still thrive. 🏘️ With their stilted wooden dwellings, vibrantly colored ethnic costumes, and beautiful traditional embroidery patterns, the Shanzhai offers an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. ✨ At Shanzhai, you can also enjoy Jinuo song and dance shows, allowing you to experience their traditional culture up close! In addition, the area surrounding Shanzhai is a Pu'er tea-producing region, where you can sample and purchase tea directly, making this a perfect spot to experience both nature and culture at the same time. 🍵⛰ This is a recommended spot to experience the laid-back lifestyle of Yunnan's ethnic minority people while taking in the tranquil scenery! #AsiaTravel #ChinaTravel #Yunnan #Xishuangbanna #EthnicMinorityCulture #SummerThemePark

Xishuangbanna Dai Park (Xishuangbanna Dai Park) is a theme park-style cultural experience spot in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China, where you can fully experience Dai culture! Enjoy traditional temples, wooden villages, ethnic costume shows, water-throwing festivals, and even bamboo crafts and weaving workshops! 🌿 Actual Dai people still live in the village. 🏠 Please be careful not to enter buildings that are not shops or guesthouses. ⚠️ 🕰️Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (may vary depending on the season) 📏Size: Approximately twice the size of Tokyo Disneyland, so you can enjoy it at your leisure for half a day to a full day. 🙆 🚗Access: Approximately 20-30 minutes by taxi from downtown Xishuangbanna #AsiaTravel #ChinaTravel #Xishuangbanna #Xishuangbanna #Dai #SummerThemePark

💫 Not the most expensive, but worth a lifetime recommendation!

Mangenna Seclusion｜This is the right way to experience Xishuangbanna 🌱 I stayed in Banna for a short time recently and felt it wasn’t enough, so I wandered around and came back again. I’ve been to Banna many times but never visited Mangenna before. This time, I decided to stay here and really soak it all in. 😌 The place I stayed this time isn’t far from the lively streets of the village, but it’s secluded and peaceful, hidden up the steps with naturally great views. The room is spacious and has a private soaking pool. The butler can help fill it in advance, the service is really thoughtful～ 👍 Another thing I really like is the lush greenery here! Whether having afternoon tea or breakfast in the restaurant, you’re surrounded by rich greenery. Plant lovers will probably understand this feeling. 🌿 Tea culture is strong here in Banna, so whether in the lobby or the restaurant, you can sit down to drink tea and chat. Even the rooms are fully equipped with tea sets. Some beautiful tea sets are available for purchase, so tea lovers should definitely check them out. 🍵 Also, for sisters wanting to shoot in Dai costumes, the guesthouse offers free makeup and styling appointments for photoshoots. Although I didn’t have time to try it this time, I saw other guests doing it, and the styling was quite thoughtful. 📸 After staying here, I feel that Mangenna represents the original form of Banna in my heart. Both sides of the street are stilted buildings selling all kinds of novel items, and life seems to move a little slower.
