Six-day five-night brainless itinerary guide for a spring trip to Xishuangbanna
🌷Spring is a season full of vitality🌿 and hope🌱! After playing around Xishuangbanna for about five to six days, I came back and organized this budget-friendly yet fulfilling itinerary
DAY✈️Arrive in Kunming
Arrived in Kunming at nine o'clock in the evening, checked into the hotel to rest.
DAY Haigeng Dam➡️Daguan Tower➡️Starlight Night Market
Went to Haigeng Dam in the morning, fed the seagulls, then took the high-speed train🚅 from Kunming Station to Xishuangbanna. By the time we got to Banna, it was already afternoon. The hotel was in Gaozhuang, so after dropping off our luggage, we went straight to Gaozhuang. Daguan Tower and Starlight Night Market are close by, the Daguan Tower is sacred and dreamy at night, and then we went to the night market to stroll and eat. You know, at the night market, look more and buy less~
DAY Manting Park➡️Jinghong Buddha Temple➡️Mengle Great Buddha Temple
Came to Manting Park early in the morning, which used to be the royal garden of the Dai king, with a strong Southeast Asian atmosphere. The Dai king's palace and the royal garden are very photogenic, and there are free performances at the Elephant Park and Parrot Park. Jinghong Buddha Temple is a must-visit, connected to Manting Park with no entrance fee, very popular with worshippers, and the architecture is incredibly detailed and splendid. In the afternoon, we went to Mengle Cultural Tourism Area and visited Mengle Great Buddha Temple, which is majestic and truly awe-inspiring!
DAY Wild Elephant Valley➡️Tropical Flower Garden
Checked the guide in advance and it said that wild elephants could be seen around two o'clock in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, there were so many people, and we queued for nearly two hours to enter the park. Luckily, we saw a group of wild elephants around one o'clock, very lucky indeed. Later we went to the Tropical Flower Garden, which has all kinds of beautiful tropical plants, like a mini version of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden~
DAY Primitive Forest Park➡️Dai Nationality Garden➡️Mange Fruit Market
Went to Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park in the morning, definitely watch the peacock flying show, lasting 20 minutes, with a performance first and then the release, hundreds of peacocks flying down is very impressive. After the show, you can take a walk in the tropical forest for a while, and there are also Aini ethnic interaction, ethnic musical instrument performances, and water-splashing performances. The ticket price is really worth it. Then we went to Xishuangbanna Dai Nationality Garden, don't buy a basin from the old lady at the entrance, they don't allow basins inside! Inside, for 50💰 you can rent a locker + basin + Dai nationality clothes, splashing water is really fun! Later we went to Mange Fruit Market, bought some durian, small pineapples, coconuts, much cheaper and fresher than outside, took the fruits back to Kunming...
DAY Kunming old street and return trip
Slept until I woke up naturally, walked around near Kunming old street, ate and drank well, and then returned home~
Very happy, will come again...
