Xishuangbanna is suitable for everyone to say Lijiang, Dali for two people and Xishuangbanna for one family. Banna is best for family travel, and it is best for young and old to travel together.
Of course, this is not to say that a person or a couple's girlfriends are inappropriate. It would be more appropriate for a family to go to Banna.
What to play in Xishuangbanna? The tourist attractions in Xishuangbanna are scattered. Basically, except Jinghong (urban area), there are scenic spots in the east, west, north and south.
So in Xishuangbanna, as long as you don't live in Menglun Town and Menghai Town in the east and west, other places are similar.
According to the southeast and northwest:
Northern Line: Wild Elephant Valley, Keno Village, Primitive Forest Park, etc.
Eastern route: Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dai Garden, Wangtianshu, etc.
West Line: Dushu Forest Scenic Area, Mengjinglai Scenic Area, Hani Cultural Park, Jingmai Mountain, etc.
Urban areas: Man Ting Park, General Buddhist Temple, Big Buddhist Temple, Shwedagon Pagoda, Starlight Night Market, Riverside Night Market, Dai Di Dance, Dai Dress Shooting, Dai Show Watching, Xishuangbanna Starbucks, etc.
The northern and eastern lines are necessary. The northern line looks at the stockade of the Dai people, and the eastern line looks at plants more. Everyone needs a day's journey.
The scenic spots in the city are also a must, but fortunately, these scenic spots are relatively close, and one day is enough.
Then find a night to go to the starlight night market, watch a performance in one night, and then find a night to go dancing. It's good.
So it takes at least 4 days and 3 nights to go to Xishuangbanna (5 days and 4 nights is better).
According to the type of scenic spots:
Temple Park: Big Buddha Temple, Big Buddha Temple, Jinghong Shwedagon Pagoda (in Shuangjing, Gaozhuang West) and Man Ting Park.
Ethnic villages: Mandi Wu Cun, Zhangman Village, Yuanman Village, Manfeilong (delicious) and Jinuo Shanzhai.
Natural scenery: Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences (must go), Wangtianshu, Primitive Forest Park, Dushu Forest Scenic Area, Mengjinglai and Jingmai Mountain.
Featured performances: Dai Xiu (a must-see) and Man Ting Park Lancang River Mekong River bonfire party.
Local experience: Dancing in Dai Di (recommended) and shooting Dai costumes.
Markets: Starlight Night Market (a must), Riverside Night Market, Jinghong Farmers Market, Xishuangbanna Market, Manger Fruit Wholesale Market.
Collapse zone
There is a bar in Banna called Bobby, and there will be a dancing Dai Di in the afternoon 12, about 1 hour.
The so-called Dai Di dance means that everyone wears traditional Dai costumes and starts to play over and over again with the accelerated version of Dai music. This music, this dress, it is easy to fall into a trance.
Don't worry, you can't dance. There will be a Dai Di class before school starts in Dai Di, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it.
In Xishuangbanna, do as the Romans do.
Kandaixiu
Dai Xiu is really worth seeing. At the beginning, Wanda Dad invested a total of 2 billion yuan to build the Jindou Daixiu Theater in Banna. This theater has only one function, that is, performing Dai opera every night.
Dai Xiu was created by Cirque du Soleil, directed by O Show in Las Vegas and designed by The House of Dancing Water in Macau. To the surprise of Cirque du Soleil and Frank Degon, this program can't be bad.
Based on the ancient narrative poem Princess Peacock, Dai Xiu tells a story about love, temptation and rebirth in a teenager's heart.
However, Dai Xiu is not cheap either. The cheapest tickets are for each person in 320 yuan. It is recommended to buy tickets for area B, which will have a better view.
Go to the market
The starlight night market in Xishuangbanna is really a must. The starlight night market in Xishuangbanna is extremely shocking. It's fireworks in Xishuangbanna.
Xingguang Night Market is located in the most prosperous Gaozhuang in Xishuangbanna. The night market only opens at night, which is too exaggerated!
It's really super big. It took three hours to get out.
Of course, it is a tourist night market after all. Therefore, the food and things sold in the night market are not necessarily the cheapest, but they must have the most choices and the most local characteristics.
Starlight night market, I really ate too much. Most of the food here has strong ethnic characteristics, as well as some Thai, Vietnamese and Burmese flavors.
Of course, locals will still go to the riverside night market downtown. Binjiang night market is relatively grounded and affordable, but it is not as beautiful and fun as Starlight Night Market.
Besides the night market, several food markets are also very interesting.
To deeply experience the life in a place, you must go to the local vegetable market. Jinghong Farmers' Market in Xishuangbanna, Bazaar in Xishuangbanna and Mange Fruit Wholesale Market are all quite suitable for sightseeing.
So are the fruits here! Shit! Suitable! Yes!
Take beautiful photos of Dai costumes
When I went to the night market, it was really groups of young ladies wearing Dai and Thai costumes taking pictures at the Shwedagon Pagoda and Starlight Night Market. Say a few hundred less, and there will definitely be more.
Then a photographer takes pictures of n little sisters.
Obviously, no good photos can be taken.
But it's really popular to shoot Dai costumes in Banna. It is recommended to find a photographer on the omnipotent Taobao in advance, and then shoot one-on-one as a whole.
Night market one-to-many 99, 199, really don't choose.
Have a cup of Yunnan coffee.
Coffee is produced in Yunnan, so it is meaningful to drink coffee in Yunnan. Connect the first mile and the last mile of coffee beans.
There is a Starbucks in wanda plaza, the only one in Xishuangbanna, and it is also a high-value Starbucks.
It's worth punching in to buy a city cup.
Another coffee shop worth recommending is Dai Lu Coffee.
In Banna, there are too many internet celebrities who drink old iced coffee. The driver recommended a local brand in Banna, Dai Long Coffee. A coffee shop, the buyers are almost all locals, and the take-away orders have been constant.
Try Lao coconut milk iced coffee, it feels amazing.
However, the hand-made old iced coffee on the roadside is also a local feature and worth a try.
If it is a scenic spot, the Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences is a must. It is the only 5A scenic spot in Xishuangbanna.
This botanical garden is divided into east and west areas with a total area of *** 1 1.25 square kilometers. There are12,000 kinds of plants, including a large area of primitive tropical rain forest.
Tickets for 75 yuan/person/ticket, plus the whole park battery car 175 yuan, OTA platform can be purchased in advance. It is really recommended that the whole park buy a battery car, otherwise it will be exhausted.
The most popular lotus leaf on the Internet will not be available until July and August. Children can take heavy photos on it, and so can not-too-fat ladies.
This park can take a hot air balloon, hot air balloon 280 for one person, and the time is only 10min.
Another scenic spot worth visiting is Wang Tianshu. There are towering trees here, and a corridor paved with boards is connected between them. It's good to walk on it.
What about other scenic spots? I recommend the stockade of the Dai people. You should go to the last one. There is little difference among Mandi Wu Cun, Zhangman Village, Yuanman Village, Manfeilong Village and Keno Shanzhai.
If recommended, recommend Manfeilong, because Manfeilong roast chicken is delicious. And this roast chicken is in Manfeilong stockade.
As for temples, Man Ting Park, General Buddhist Temple, Big Buddhist Temple, Shwedagon Pagoda and prajna temple are all in the urban area, so it is convenient to visit and it is not troublesome to go.
The temples in Banna are very similar to those in Thailand, and both are suitable for taking beautiful photos.
If you have to choose, there are more activities in Mengling Buddha Temple. Didn't the Songkran Festival in Banna stop this year? However, you can still experience it in Mengling Buddha Temple.
Prajna temple is pure white, especially photogenic.
Man Ting Park used to be the royal garden of the Dai people, and the General Buddhist Temple was once a resort for the supreme ruler of Xishuangbanna and his chiefs to worship Buddha. There are white peacocks in the main Buddhist temple.
Introduction 1) What to eat in Xishuangbanna? Where to eat?
Banna mainly eats Dai and Thai flavor.
Dai flavor mainly includes Dai barbecue, Dai afternoon tea, peacock banquet, chūng series, citronella grilled fish, lemon grilled fish and so on.
In addition to many barbecues in the night market, Dai Jia mainly recommends a store that always cooks roast chicken. Dozens of chickens are roasted together, which makes people feel appetizing.
Besides roast chicken, they will also eat some barbecues and Banna local specialties (fried yuba, fried beef heart tube, etc. ).
Everybody's okay. It is worth eating.
Dai's afternoon tea is also worth experiencing.
Normal afternoon tea should be mostly dessert, but the Dai people's afternoon tea is sour and refreshing. For example, there is a mango, which is salty and spicy, but it tastes inexplicably cold.
Crowne Plaza Hotel provides afternoon tea.
Chūng series is really delicious, too. Chicken feet, potatoes, rice noodles or something? ......
The so-called wok is to put all kinds of spices, garlic, herbs, peppers, fried peanuts and other cooked main dishes in a stone mortar for wok. Take chicken feet as an example. Chicken feet are mixed with various spices and herbs, which are spicy, fragrant and sour.
Peacock banquet is also one of the local delicacies, which is more suitable if there are many people.
In fact, it's just a table of Dai food, and then put it in the shape of a peacock. It's not very delicious, but it's interesting.
For more food strategies, I wrote an article at the end of last year, so I can have a look.
There are also old iced coffees all over the street, all in paper bags (nylon bags inside). It's hot in Banna, so drinking some ice every day will be especially refreshing.
2) Off-season in Xishuangbanna
Xishuangbanna is only divided into dry season and rainy season. The dry season is from June to April, and the rainy season is from May to June. Originally, April-June and 9-65438+ 10 were dull every year, but this year is not dull at all. Mandarin is full in April, which is really exaggerated.
Although it rains in July and August in summer, it must be very prosperous. And165438+1October-February, Xishuangbanna is like summer all the year round.
3) Where else can I play online in Xishuangbanna?
Banna belongs to the southern Yunnan line and can play Pu 'er, Lincang and Lancang. The suggestion is Pu 'er. It doesn't take two hours to drive from Banna to Pu 'er.
Pu 'er tea, the place where Yunnan produces tea, is worth visiting.
4) Recommended itinerary
Day 1, go to Banna, and go to starlight night market to eat, drink and have fun at night.
The next day, a one-day tour of the city (chartered car or Didi), Man Ting Park, Big Buddha Temple, Big Buddha Temple and Shwedagon Pagoda. Watch the Dai performance in the evening, and then go to the riverside night market.
Wangtianshu, Botanical Garden of China Academy of Sciences, Manfeilong, East Line, the third day. Continue the starlight night market in the evening.
Day4, North Line or West Line 2 1.
On the fifth day, return trip.
Banna will definitely become more and more popular this year.
There is only one place in China that can perfectly replace Southeast Asia, and that is Xishuangbanna. And the high-speed train from Kunming to Banna is about to open to traffic. At present, the biggest problem in Banna is traffic. You can only go by plane, but few cities can fly directly to Banna, and most of them have to transfer to Kunming.
Once the high-speed rail is open to traffic, it will be more convenient to go to Banna from Kunming. It is estimated that at that time, Banna's tourism will continue to be hot.
