Climate: Xishuangbanna has a subtropical climate, and the whole year is divided into rainy season and dry season. Wet and rainy, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the daytime is extremely hot. Locals seldom go out during the day, and only come out to exercise when the weather is cold at night. It often rains locally, and it is usually a thunderstorm, so an umbrella is necessary. I went in late April and early May. It can reach about 38 degrees during the day, and the sunshine is very strong, just like a natural sauna. The best travel time is from 10 to May of the following year. Transportation: From Kunming to Banna, you can choose to take a car or plane. There are many flights from Kunming to Banna every day, and the number of flights will increase during the Golden Week. The fare is 520 yuan, and the maximum discount is 60%. In addition, there are flights to Jinghong in many places. If you choose to drive, you will suffer a little, because the road from Simao to Jinghong is not easy and there are often traffic jams. I've been stuck there for 12 hours, and I heard that the expressway is already under construction. If you are lucky and there is no traffic jam, the journey is 12 hour. All luxury sleeping cars departing from Kunming Nanyao Bus Terminal are clean and comfortable, and the fare is about 175 yuan. Although there are only three buses in Jinghong, taxis are very cheap. In the city, 5 yuan doesn't care about money, but local drivers drive a little hard and often make dangerous moves. Cars from Jinghong to various scenic spots are easy to find, and there are shuttle buses to the passenger station or the south station of the tire processing factory. Clothes: Be sure to bring a cool T-shirt and shorts, and it is best to bring a thin coat, because it will be a little cold in the morning and evening, and slippers must be ready. When I get there, I basically wear slippers every day, and sports shoes are absolutely unbearable. Needless to say, umbrellas must not be forgotten, and it is best to have sun protection. Mosquito repellent, sunscreen and heatstroke prevention drugs (such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Capsule) are all indispensable. Gourmet: Speaking of the delicious food in Xishuangbanna, I was very excited at once. Dai flavor is mainly glutinous rice, sour taste, barbecue and aquatic food, which is sour and spicy, very distinctive and makes people's forefinger move. There are so many famous Dai restaurants in Jinghong that I won't list them one by one. It is worth mentioning that we stumbled upon a small restaurant with good quality and low price. It is located in an alley next to Man Ting Park, opposite to the Wushu School, and its name is Dai Weiju. The price is very low, but everything is well done, especially the fried beef with millet, glutinous rice spicy crab, lemon bean jelly and boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots. The best is rice crust, which is the most delicious rice I have ever eaten. The barbecue industry in Xishuangbanna is very developed. The most famous is Xiaozhai, Man Ting, where you can enjoy a large barbecue for ten thousand people. There is also a famous man Dou in Jiangbei. However, after my comparison, I think Sanweilou is the best, which is highly recommended by my friends. It's next to Jinfeng Hotel. The environment is average, but it tastes great. Eating for four people is about 100 yuan. I strongly recommend pineapple purple rice, roast beef, roast pork noodles, roast chicken tendon, roast chicken, roast chicken, grilled fish with citronella, grilled ribs with citronella, fried cowhide (I swallowed a mouthful of water here) and a glass of cold beer with ice cubes, which immediately refreshed me. The cold drinks in Xishuangbanna are close to the taste of Myanmar. It is recommended to try them when enjoying the cool in the afternoon. The Myanmar Li cold drink shop in East Street is not bad. Paoluda is my favorite, and sleeping in Indian coconut is also good. Jinghong has several famous Thai restaurants, such as Caichunqing Restaurant, Meimei Coffee Restaurant and Mekong River Restaurant. There are many foreigners because many professional travel books recommend them. Personally, I feel that the taste is average and I am in a good mood. The most striking feature of Banna is sour bamboo shoots, but many people think it stinks. I didn't like it at first, but I suddenly liked it after I went there. I recommend boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots and fried shredded potatoes with sour bamboo shoots. Tropical fruits are also very attractive, especially the pineapple in Olive Dam, which is rich in sweet juice, so steamed pineapple rice is also delicious. Green mangoes sold in Jinghong Street are mixed with peppers, and the smell of mangoes is overflowing. One dollar can buy a big bag. I recommend a friend who likes sour food to have a taste. Accommodation: Xishuangbanna is the earliest developed scenic spot in Yunnan. There are many hotels, and fewer people go now, so it is easy to find a place to stay, but during the Golden Week and the Songkran Festival, the house price will soar. I heard that the "Golden Banna Hotel" in the city is not bad. I saw a travel note written by someone on the Internet, introducing that "Little P-Child Traveler" booked tickets for hotels and scenic spots at group prices. After searching, I really found that the real price is very different from other hotel reservation websites, so I said that the same standard room of "Golden Banna Hotel" is the whole gap between 88 yuan, Xiecheng.com and Yilong.com ... But I still chose "Jinfeng Hotel" because the child P introduced me to the Golden Banna Hotel, with good external environment and good rooms. The two rooms are opposite and there is no difference in location, so I chose the standard room of Jinfeng Hotel, a better room 140 yuan. What surprised me even more was that the little P-boy traveler who booked the hotel came to meet me at the airport for free. You know, if you take a taxi from the airport, you need 30 yuan. Ok: There are many scenic spots in Xishuangbanna, but most people don't choose places too far away, especially because of time and traffic, but those places are classic places, such as the Manfeilong Tower in Mengla and the Sky Corridor of Wangtianshu. There is no need to go to Rhoda. The border area is a mess, and there is nothing to see. I still went to some popular scenic spots with the crowd. It is worth mentioning that if I have a student ID card, I must carry it with me. All the scenic spots can be discounted. I used an expired student ID card, but no one saw the flaw. Man Ting Garden: In Jinghong City. I felt cheated after I went there. Tickets to 40 yuan. There is a fixed splashing time, but tourists are not enthusiastic and stay away. There is nothing to see in the park. You can visit it in an hour or two. Jinuo stockade will attract tourists to watch performances and taste glutinous rice wine. At first, it said it was free, but later, it would pull male tourists into their rooms and ask for money. If they don't give it, they will not only turn against each other, but also ask for their wallets back. Remember not to be cheated. Olive Dam: The only scenic spot of Olive Dam is the Dai village, and the ticket is 50 yuan. You will feel cheated when you first enter, because all the villages are very shabby, and it will be interesting to visit them later. There will be a performance at 3pm, and then a large-scale water splashing activity will be held in the square, which is much bigger than Man Ting Park. Hundreds of people crowded together and splashed water wildly. If you don't want to join in, please protect valuables such as cameras and DV to prevent being attacked by sneak attack, because people have lost their minds. There are several bamboo houses in the stockade, and the Dai food is delicious, but the price is also relatively expensive. Tropical Botanical Garden: You can take a bus from Olive Dam to Menglun, and there will be no bus after 6 o'clock. Tropical Botanical Garden is in downtown Menglun. You can walk there. Tickets to 80 yuan, feel very worthwhile, can play all day, the scenery is good, if you have time, you can avoid the tourist peak and stroll slowly. Wild Elephant Valley: Primitive Forest Park, Tropical Flower Garden and Wild Elephant Valley are all on the same route. Because I have been to the tropical botanical garden in Menglun, I don't plan to see plants any more. You can take a bus from Simao or Kunming to Wild Elephant Valley, which is easy to find by the roadside. Tickets have gone up to 65 yuan. Of course, you can go to 40 yuan with your student ID card. If you don't take the cable car, it's very troublesome to take the bus to the back door when you get out of the gate. If you have leisure time, you can stay in a tree hotel in the valley, but the conditions are poor and expensive. You can see wild elephants at night, so don't be happy. Summary: Book a car in Banna for two days, a total of 350 yuan, but you must cooperate with the driver to enter the store four times (without affecting the normal itinerary). If I don't go into the store, the fare for two days is 500 yuan, so you can measure it yourself. If you choose to enter the store, the driver will remind you not to buy any products, especially jade. When visiting Dai's family, they will also sell some jewels called Shayin, so don't buy them. There are some shopping spots at the entrance of Tropical Botanical Garden of China Academy of Sciences. You can buy some souvenirs. Remember to bargain hard. There are two T-shirts with elephant designs, 30 yuan, and the above-mentioned Dai Shayin bracelet 5 yuan (the above price depends on individual bargaining power). I suggest you eat some fresh fruits produced by the surrounding fruit stalls. In addition, remind everyone that there is a fruit market opposite the farmer's market. Don't buy it, you will be cheated. Two annona squashes actually weigh one kilogram. If you want to eat fruit, you can buy it on a road next to the fruit market. The fruit is grown by yourself, and then drive out and sell it at a very low price (the disadvantage is that there are few varieties of fruit). Or go to the supermarket to buy (the disadvantage is that the quality of fruit is not good and the price is high). Special reminder: most of the items such as "Burmese jade" bought by tourists in the market are fakes. Don't be greedy and cheap. It is best to buy in a reputable large shopping mall and ask for an invoice. You can go to "Xishuangbanna Golden Banna Emerald" and "Baoxiangtang Jewelry" at No.28 Jinghong West Road (No.23 Garan Middle Road), which are local reputable shops. Experience: going to Xishuangbanna is the second, and eating is the first enjoyment. It is inevitable that the conditions in the border areas are not good, so you don't have to be picky, so you can understand the mystery.

Where can I go if I have a plane ticket?
