Xishuangbanna is a well-known natural scenic spot with tropical rain forest climate, in which a large number of the most primitive forest conditions are preserved, and the perfect and rich natural ecosystem is well protected. It is a good and excellent tourist attraction. Here, I will share with you the ultra-detailed strategy.

Hotel Accommodation

For tourists, staying in Gaozhuang is a good choice, with good accommodation conditions and environment and high cost performance. There is a night market in the evening. If you live in Gaozhuang, you will not be too far from the night market and the Shwedagon Pagoda, and you can walk there. Although it is separated from Jinghong by a river, there is no inconvenience because there is a bridge as a connection.

although the accommodation in Wanda is better, it is really too far away, and there is no public transportation, so it is not convenient to travel.

Gaozhuang

We stayed at Shuixianshan Hotel in Gaozhuang, and his home location is quite good, which is the first hotel we will see when we arrive at Gaozhuang. It takes 5 minutes to walk and 311 meters to reach the night market area. But just because of the distance of several hundred meters, it is very quiet and won't be noisy at night. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk to the Jiangbei ticket office of Jinghong Bus Terminal. The hotel room is very large, and the facilities are very good, and the dry and wet are completely separated. When we checked in, we were upgraded to a room with a balcony on the top floor for free. It felt a little cool! Haha

Botanical Garden-Wang Lian Hotel

We also booked the Wang Lian Hotel in the Botanical Garden for one night. We will call the hotel directly at the gate of the Botanical Garden and send a battery car to pick it up, which is very convenient.

The hotel is between Baiguoyuan and Yinsheng Botanical Garden. We had lunch and dinner in the hotel. He provided a buffet for lunch and dinner, 61 yuan/person, basically 8 hot dishes, 4 cold dishes, 1 soup, Sprite Coke and 4 kinds of fruits. The staple food was only rice. The taste is ok, a bit like the feeling of a big canteen. Breakfast is included in the room rate, so it is provided free of charge. Relatively speaking, there are more kinds of breakfast.

The advantage of living in the botanical garden is that you can take a walk in the botanical garden after dinner at night, which is very interesting. You can get up early in the morning and go to play. A large number of tourists have not come yet. We arrived at noon on the first day and walked around the whole west area in the afternoon. Come out for a walk again in the evening. The next morning, I bought a battery car in the east area in the canteen opposite the hotel. It took about 21 minutes to drive for 5 kilometers and arrived at the Green Stone Forest Scenic Area in the east area. There is no one at all, it is simply a charter, and it feels a little cool, haha.

Traffic Guide

First of all, the distance from the airport, Jinghong City is the closest to the airport, which can be reached in more than 11 minutes.

gaozhuang is a little farther than the urban area, and it can be reached in about 21 minutes. However, most of the accommodations in Gaozhuang include free pick-up and drop-off, as long as the flight time is agreed with the store in advance.

let's talk about the traffic problems in various scenic spots.

Manting Park

If you go here, I suggest that you don't hire a car. Many masters will tell you that if you go to Manting, you can hire a car for 111 yuan, but in fact, if you take a drip express from Gaozhuang, it will be settled for 11 yuan. There's no need to charter a car ~

Here's a clear suggestion for everyone. Regular taxi drivers here don't like to hit the meter, even if they use Didi, they will change the price. It's annoying! After we got on the bus, we even told us that it was boring to listen. Let me take you somewhere else, if you think about anything. Seeing that we insisted on going to Manchester, we asked if we bought tickets. He can buy it instead. Let's refund the tickets booked online. Te! No! Please! Tired! ! ! After all these tricks failed, they asked us for a taxi fare from 21 yuan, saying that we would charge 21 yuan if we crossed the river! I really want to kill him with a stick! In order to avoid this kind of problem, I suggest that everyone should try to use Didi to call the express train when going to urban areas or airports, so that the price can't be changed ~

Wangtianshu

Actually, I originally wanted to go to Wangtianshu on the third day, because the driver of the chartered car told me that it was too expensive and uneconomical for two people to charter a car to visit Wangtianshu, so I listened to him and changed it to the present situation. On the whole, I feel sorry that I couldn't make it, so everyone is making a trip.

Jinghong City has opened a scenic through train for tourists this year, which is really good news for two or three people who go there together. Because most tourists want to go to the scenic spots a little farther away, they can only charter a car, but with this through train, many problems will be solved.

Keno Shanzhai

We went there by chartered bus, and arranged Keno Shanzhai and Primitive Forest Park on the same day, and 211 yuan once a day, which is actually ok. However, the through train in the scenic spot can still be reached, which depends on everyone's own schedule. Keno Shanzhai is about 41 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang.

Primitive Forest Park

It's actually very close. It's only about a hundred minutes' drive from Gaozhuang. The scenic spot can be reached by through train and bus. In fact, it's not expensive to take a taxi.

Menglun Botanical Garden

You can also get there through train. At the same time, you can also choose a bus. There is a ticket office in Jiangbei of Jinghong Bus Terminal in Gaozhuang, and you can buy tickets on the spot. You don't need to go to Jinghong City by car on the spot. You can ask Gao De, who knows the ticket office. And even if you can't find it, you will see many minibuses and CMB parked there when you walk to the side of the road, and you will find him.

it's very cost-effective to buy the train to Menglun, and the ticket is 23 yuan/person. It will take about 1 hours to arrive. When you get on the bus, tell the master to get off at the botanical garden, and the master will call you when you arrive. Stop directly at the west gate of the botanical garden. There was only one stop in the middle, which was about three or five minutes, which didn't take much time.

On the way back, you can still take the bus at Ximen, and there will be a bus in about half an hour. However, there are several kinds of buses. Before getting on the bus, ask the master where he went to Jinghong. On our return trip, we caught the bus to Banna Bus Terminal. In fact, it is not too far from Jinghong Bus Terminal, but it is closer to the airport. We just went to the airport, so we sat directly at the main station. If you want to sit in Gaozhuang or something, you can talk to the master soon and ask him to stop for you. It's all easy to discuss.

tips:

attention should be paid to the bus to Banna Bus Terminal. It stops for about three or four stops, and each stop lasts about 5-11 minutes, so if you want to catch a plane like me, you'd better get out a little earlier. However, this car also has an advantage that it is much better than the car we took when we went. The car we went to was like a minibus, which was rather shabby. The bus back is CMB. The seat spacing is relatively large and spacious. Children's shoes with luggage don't have to worry, these cars can put luggage, some in the back and some in the bottom, which is not a problem at all. Food and Beverage

For people who live in Gaozhuang, it is not difficult to eat. In the evening, there are basically food and drink in the night market. You can experience Dai barbecue (roasted pork belly, grilled fish, grilled chicken, grilled fish, etc.), Dai salad (pounded chicken feet, pounded papaya, etc.), as well as various fruits and freshly squeezed juice.

Dai flavor characteristics

I think the fish in the dish is ok in the Dai flavor barbecue. A 31 yuan, including a grilled fish, a small bowl of rice noodles, lettuce and dipping sauce, and peanuts, is eaten with lettuce rolled up, which has never been eaten like this before. It's quite interesting. There is also a package of roast pork crispy bones, which tastes good. You can try it. We don't like Dai flavor mixed with cold dishes very much. I don't know if the one we ate is not authentic. Anyway, I feel that all kinds of spices are mixed in my mouth and I don't like it very much.

Fruit and juice

We bought fresh squeezed juice at the same stall during the days we lived there, with a cup of 11-15 yuan. If we go there every day, the price will be negotiable the next day. I tried carambola+pear juice, which was wonderful and delicious! And pineapple+pomegranate juice, sour and sweet, very special. Coconut juice specially chooses Thai fragrant coconut, which tastes particularly sweet. After drinking it, you can also let the stall owner dig down the coconut meat and eat it. Don't be too happy, hahaha.

Fruits We have two fruit shops (not far from the ticket office in Jiangbei, we bought jackfruit, egg fruit and so on) on the side of the road just outside the Gaozhuang residential area. I was deeply impressed by jackfruit. The night market is a small bowl with a price of 11 yuan, but there are not many pieces. In that small shop, my uncle is cutting it now, and it's a bag with a price of 11 yuan and a half, which is still big. Haha, we ate a little cool. Egg fruit is delicious, too. You can buy it and try it. It tastes like a cake. Choose soft ones and it's amazing.

Regular stores

We went to two stores, one is Manfeilong roast chicken in online celebrity. It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when I went. There was no one in the shop at all. I ordered roast chicken, pineapple rice and hand-peeled bamboo shoots. I want to mention here that there is no cooking in this shop. All vegetables are eaten raw, such as cucumber strips and lettuce. The roast chicken tastes good, and the best is the chicken wings, which are oily and burnt. The pineapple rice is very fragrant, and the hand-peeled bamboo shoots are ordinary and have not been specially treated.

The other one is Dai Louyuan. We wanted to try our hand-grabbed rice and see if there was a group purchase at his house. A large portion, enough for two people. Outside, there are all kinds of meats, such as grilled fish, roast chicken, roast pork belly, roast ribs, roast pigskin, cucumber strips and lettuce. Roasted pork belly is especially delicious and burnt. There is vegetable rice on the bottom and pineapple rice in the middle. The food is not too hot, it feels like a microwave oven, but the meat outside tastes good, and it's only 88 if you buy it in group, which is really cost-effective. Except for rice, both of us were basically eliminated.

Recommended scenic spots of Dailou Garden

For many people, the most incomprehensible thing is that all the scenic spots in Xishuangbanna are gaudy and there are many scenic spots, which is completely incomprehensible. Let me give you a picture first, so that you can have a look at the general distribution of scenic spots: (This picture is saved from the question and answer of bee friends, and I think it is particularly clear, so I borrow it, hee hee

Okay.

First of all, when choosing a scenic spot, look at what kind of place you like first, then avoid duplication in types, and finally consider the issues of distance and cost. Then, when you plan the route, you can refer to the above picture and arrange it together in the same direction, which is not a big problem. You can also refer to the route provided by the scenic spot through train to facilitate the ride. Personally, I think Manting Park is really good in the urban area.

tickets for 54 yuan/person at the gate of Manting Park, the play time is 2-3 hours, and the opening time is 8-17: 11. Tickets for online group purchase are 54 yuan, and 49 yuan, so you don't need to buy any battery cars, which is not too big and unnecessary. It's beautiful inside, and there are some performances to see. This is the schedule of the performance. You can refer to it and arrange the time reasonably. Parrot performances: 9:51, 12:11, 15:41, the royal elephant performances in the parrot performance field: 11:31, 14:51, 16:31, and the Dai Wang has an appointment at the royal elephant performance field every day: 9:11, and a story of praising Ha Chun Huan is rushed: 11:11. At almost two o'clock, many people began to occupy seats in the venue. At almost two o'clock, staff members came out with four or five elephants, bathed them, freshened up, opened the door, and began to attract business to take pictures. At 81 yuan a person, many people who took their children went to take pictures. After half an hour of visual inspection, 21 or 31 people had to take pictures. This money earned a little fast.

The performance started at 2: 51 on time, and there were some interactive projects during the performance. One of them was that two workers pushed shopping carts in two supermarkets, which were full of cucumbers and bananas, and three elephants were fed at 11 yuan, which also caused a burst of madness. Hmm! It's a long story. In short, except for these crazy money-grabbing projects, everything else is quite good.

Manting Park Elephant Show

Manting Park and the General Buddhist Temple are connected, just show your tickets when you come back to Manting.

The package of Wangtianshu in the General Buddhist Temple is 198 yuan/person (including scenic spot ticket+one-way sightseeing cruise ship of Nanlahe River+canopy corridor/rainforest covered bridge, opening time is 8:31-19:11, and playing time is 2-3 hours

Route: take a boat from Nanlahe River to the pier, take Philip Trail after disembarking, and then go out of the scenic spot from the other side.

I'm sorry, I can only provide you with this information, because I didn't make it, and I always feel sorry. In fact, I originally wanted to go to Wangtianshu on the third day, because the driver of the chartered car told me that it was too expensive and uneconomical for two people to charter a car to visit Wangtianshu, so I listened to him and changed it to the present situation. Overall, I feel sorry that I couldn't make it, so when making a trip, we should try not to charter a car if possible.

The following map is also saved and borrowed from the travel notes of bee friends, for your reference.

The ticket for Jinuo Shanzhai is RMB 161/person, the opening time is 9:11-18:11, and the playing time is 2 hours.

Jinuo Shanzhai is actually not big, but the overall management and planning are good. You can go and see it if you have time. At the gate of the scenic spot, every 11 minutes, the people who bought tickets within this 11 minutes will form a small group, and how many people are counted. Because we went early in the morning, it was a little after 9 o'clock when we arrived, and there were very few people. A group of four people formed, and a young resident in the stockade would be a tour guide to show us around the stockade. This is the service included in the ticket, not the tour guide we found alone. At the gate, people wearing various ethnic costumes of Keno come to welcome you, and then propose a toast. As soon as I was happy, I drank a small glass and lifted my neck. After drinking it, I felt burned for a long time. For people who don't drink, this degree is really not low. Don't be too excited when the girls take the glass.

Welcome ceremony at the entrance of Jinuo Shanzhai

Precautions: It will be a little cold to go to Jinuo Shanzhai early in the morning. Please remember to bring a thin coat.

The tour guide explained the origin and culture of Jinuo people all the way, which was quite interesting. After watching many small performances, it was considered that we had some basic understanding of Jinuo people. Finally, he took us to a place to watch a performance. The little guide brought us some food, including pork slices roasted by local wax gourd pigs, corn and sweet potatoes. I felt that the four of us ate a little clean.

There are fruits to eat at the door, a pot of watermelon, a pot of pineapple and a pot of banana. Watermelon and pineapple can be eaten at will, and one banana can only be taken. The people who came from behind all tasted it and left. Only the four of us ate there for a long time, asking for the shadow area of the little tour guide's heart, hahaha. Everyone must try the pineapple. It is a local specialty, the eyeless pineapple. It is sour and sweet and delicious. The whole tour will take about two hours.

Primitive Forest Park

Opening hours are 7:31-18:11, and tickets are 65.
