Yunnan - Bana Xizhenqi Garden, in fact, there are some small manor feeling. There are some wooden, jade, and handicrafts estimated to be personal collections. They are stored in some small warehouses. It feels good to see that it is a bit amazing. There are also some peacocks in the park, not afraid of people, but also a beautiful scenery. During the period, there are many kinds of plants planted, competing for beauty.
Both attractions are worth visiting, and there are discounts for joint tickets. Peacocks in Bana Xili are free-range, and they are not afraid of people. You can shoot peacocks to open the screen up close. Strange stones and jade are also quite interesting. There are also many tropical plants, which should be more beautiful if they catch up with the flower season. The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most famous attraction in Mangshi. Rao Pagoda has a different beauty at every angle for a week. You need to take off your shoes to enter the tower. There are many exquisitely crafted Buddha statues, utensils and the like in the surrounding circle. It is very beautiful and artistic, just like a small museum. If you like to punch in and take pictures, it is definitely not as good as the silver tower punching in the place, but it is really worth a look.
Super close contact with peacocks, very pleasantly surprised that peacocks are not afraid of people! The vegetation in the park is super rich, it can be said that it has crossed the tropical in a second, the location in the off-season is not far from the city, there are delicious live crabs nearby, and there are some stone carvings in the scenic area. It’s just that you must do a good job of sun protection, and there are really many mosquitoes.
I didn't expect to call it the Edible Botanical Garden, and I was very surprised at the time. I just felt that the security guard was very stingy. I obviously saw that my grandfather and grandmother took three preferential tickets. A also said to buy another adult ticket. It was clearly written on the ID card that the two were between 60 and 70 years old. But besides that, the view is very good.
