The botanical garden's trees, flowers, and many medicinal herbs are worth admiring. I especially liked the exotic flower garden and the flower garden; the bright blossoms against the blue sky and white clouds made for amazing photos. There are also hot air balloons to experience. The botanical garden is 70 kilometers from the city center, so remember to book a car or hire a private vehicle. If you prefer walking, don't take the sightseeing bus; the whole experience should take about 4 hours. If you don't want to walk, take the sightseeing bus; it costs 80 yuan per person and takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I recommend buying the West Zone ticket. Visiting the Dai Ethnic Garden in the afternoon to catch the Water Splashing Festival at 3:40 PM is perfect.

The Wild Elephant Valley isn't very big; you can walk through it quickly. There are only two shows in total. It feels like going to Wild Elephant Valley is just a quick stop in Xishuangbanna—you can feed the elephants and watch an educational program. The kids seemed okay with it too. 🤭

I'm very satisfied with the flights and hotels booked by your company. I recommend the Naga S Hotel; it's so comfortable, with a great environment, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast. Most importantly, it's conveniently located within the scenic area.

This group-buying package offers the best value for money online. Not only did we have a fantastic time, but it also included a rainforest meal. The air in the mountains was so fresh, the streams were crystal clear, and the scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended! 👍

The park is small and has a vintage feel. It's very clean, and the security guards are very friendly and patient in answering questions. I suggest adding a toilet seat to the restrooms for the elderly.

The scenery was beautiful, but since it's this season, most of the fruits were gone. Besides some papayas and jackfruits, there were very few others. However, it's still worth a visit for tourists from northern regions.

I must praise the Jino ethnic guides! The whole trip felt like an adventure with friends. They helped us catch crabs and acid ants, and even explained amazing plants like strangler figs, upas trees, and cauliflory, turning a potentially tedious hike into a vibrant nature lesson. They were always there to lend a hand when the path was difficult, and their photography skills were superb. With flowing water and ancient trees as backdrops, every shot was a masterpiece of rainforest adventure. The activities were incredibly diverse! The halfway through the hike was super refreshing, with crystal-clear water and incredibly soothing pebbles underfoot. The high-altitude rainforest swing is a must-try; the moment you swing out, you're enveloped in greenery, and the weightlessness is incredibly relaxing. Tree rappelling, archery, and bamboo rafting are all included, with professional safety measures ensuring safety, even for beginners. We also got our tribal "battle makeup" done along the way – a truly memorable experience!

You can go. It's the 7D movie. It's not good to put backpacks on the ground (they said to put them under the chairs, but actually it was the ground under the chairs). There is a small table but you can't put them there. They said you can put more bags there. In fact, there were only two bags in our row, so they could fit them. Even if they couldn't, the scenic spot should add tables. But overall it's good.

Our guide, Sister Yaodu, a Jino woman, provided exceptionally friendly and smiling service throughout the trip. She helped with children and backpacks, spoke fluent Mandarin, and communicated smoothly and pleasantly. Her explanations were incredibly detailed and thorough, even surpassing the information on Baidu Maps. She consistently reminded us of safety precautions and fulfilled our requests for activities. She even took photos for us. Having lived here since childhood, she was intimately familiar with the terrain and possessed amazing stamina, leading everyone with ease. The trip was perfect for seniors and children alike, and even young people could enjoy the thrills. We set off early and arrived at 10 am, ensuring no queues for the activities. On Saturdays, arriving early allows you to catch the local market, sample and purchase local specialties, and enjoy delicious food. It was truly a wonderful rainforest trekking experience.

When traveling to Xishuangbanna, I specifically hired a car to visit the boundary marker and border line. I booked tickets for two people online, so there was no need to pick up tickets on-site; I could just scan the code to enter the park, which was very convenient. The village is small, so there's no need to hire a guide. Just follow the signs, walk around, and stop as you please until you reach the boundary marker. After visiting the boundary marker, we had lunch nearby; 28 yuan per person was a reasonable price.
