Hotel accommodation
For tourists, living in Gaozhuang is still 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 won't be too far from the night market and the Shwedagon Pagoda. 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 inconvenient to travel.
Gaozhuang
We stayed at the Narcissus Mountain Hotel in Gaozhuang, and his home location was quite good. This was the first hotel we saw in Gaozhuang. It takes about 5 minutes to walk and 300 meters to reach the night city. But it is because of the distance of several hundred meters that it is 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 large, with good facilities, and 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 feels a little cool! Ha ha laugh
Botanical Garden-Wang Lian Hotel
We also booked a night at the Wang Lian Hotel in the Botanical Garden. It's convenient to call the hotel directly at the gate of the botanical garden and send a battery car to pick it up.
The hotel is between Baiguoyuan and Yinsheng Botanical Garden. Our lunch and dinner will be settled in the hotel. He provided a buffet for lunch and dinner, 60 yuan/person, basically 8 hot dishes, 4 cold dishes, 1 soup, as well as Sprite Coke and 4 kinds of fruits. The staple food is only the size of rice grains. The taste is ok, a bit like the feeling of a canteen. Breakfast is included in the room rate, so it's free. 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 to play. A large number of tourists have not come yet. We arrived at noon on the first day and walked around the whole western district in the afternoon. Come out for a walk at night. The next morning, I bought an East District battery car in the canteen opposite the hotel. It takes about 20 minutes to drive 5 kilometers to the Green Stone Forest Scenic Area in the East District. There is no one at all. It's just a chartered car. It feels a little cool, haha.

Traffic guide
Let's talk about the distance from the airport. Jinghong is the closest to the airport, 10 minutes away.
Gaozhuang is a little farther than the city, and it will take about 20 minutes to get there. However, most accommodation in Gaozhuang includes free shuttle service, 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 you don't rent a car. Many masters will tell you that if you go to Man Ting, you can charter a car 100 yuan, but in fact, if you take the Didi Express from Gaozhuang, it will be settled as 10 yuan. You don't need a chartered car ~
I want to give you a definite suggestion here. Ordinary taxi drivers here don't like to hit the meter. Even if they use Didi, they will change the price. I'm bored to death! When we got on the bus, we even told us that it sounded boring. If you think of anything, I'll take you somewhere else. Seeing that we insisted on going to Manchester, we asked if we had bought a ticket. He can buy it. Let's refund the tickets booked online. Te！ Don't! Please. Tired! ! ! After all these tricks failed, they charged us the taxi fare from 20 yuan, saying that if we crossed the river, we would have to charge 20 yuan! I really want to kill him with a stick! In order to avoid this problem, I suggest you go to the city or the airport and try to call the express train by Didi, so the price can't be changed ~
Wangtianshu Huaxia
In fact, I originally wanted to visit this tree on the third day, because the chartered driver told me that it was too expensive and uneconomical for two people to charter a car to visit this tree, so I took his advice and changed it to the present situation. Generally speaking, I regret that I can't visit this tree, so when making a trip, everyone should try not to hire a car to prevent being fooled and save a lot of money and words.
This year, Jinghong City has specially opened a scenic through train for tourists, which is really good news for tourists who go with two or three people. 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.
Jinuo shanzhai
We went there by chartered bus, and arranged Keno Shanzhai and Primitive Forest Park on the same day. We spent a total of 200 yuan in one day, which was actually ok. However, the through train in the scenic spot can still be reached, which depends on everyone's own time schedule. Keno Shanzhai is about 40 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang.
Primitive forest park
This is actually very close. It is only about 10 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang. Both through trains and buses can reach the scenic spot. In fact, taking a taxi is not expensive.
Menglun botanical garden
The scenic through train can also be reached. At the same time, you can also choose the bus. There is a ticket office in Jiangbei of Gaozhuang Jinghong Bus Terminal, where tickets can be purchased on the spot. You don't need to take a bus to Jinghong on the spot. You can ask Gao De, who knows the ticket office. Even if you can't find it, when you walk to the side of the road, you will see many minibuses and CMB parked there, and you will find him.
It's a good deal to buy a train to Menglun and a ticket to 23 yuan/person. It takes about 1 hour to arrive. Tell the master to get off at the botanical garden when you get on the bus, 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, about three to five minutes, which didn't take long.
On the way back, you can still take a 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 Jinghong went. On the way back, we caught the bus to Banna bus terminal. In fact, it is not too far from Jinghong bus terminal, but it is close to the airport. We just arrived at 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 quickly and ask him to stop for you. It's all negotiable.
Tips:
Everyone should pay attention to the bus to Banna bus terminal. It stopped about three or four stops. Each stop lasts about 5- 10 minutes, so if you have to catch a plane like me, you'd better get off early. 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 behind is CMB. The seat spacing is relatively large and spacious. Don't worry about children's shoes with luggage. These cars can put luggage, some in the back and some at the bottom, which is not a problem at all. Catering gourmet
For people who live in Gaozhuang, eating is actually not difficult. At night, there is basically food and drink in the night market. You can experience Dai barbecue (roast pork belly, grilled fish, roast chicken, grilled fish and so on). ), Dai salad (pounded chicken feet, pounded papaya, etc. ), as well as various fruits and freshly squeezed juices.
Dai flavor characteristics
Barbecue in Dai family, I think cabbage fish is ok, and a 30 yuan, including a grilled fish, a small bowl of rice noodles, lettuce and dipping sauce, and peanuts, has never been eaten like this before, which is quite interesting. There is also a packet of roast pork crisp bones, which tastes good. You can try. We don't like Dai flavor mixed with cold dishes very much. I don't know if the one we ate is authentic. Anyway, I don't like all kinds of spices mixed in my mouth.

Fruit and juice
During our stay there, we bought freshly squeezed juice at the same booth, and the price per cup was 10- 15 yuan. If we go there every day, the price can be discussed the next day. I tasted carambola+pear juice, which was delicious! And pineapple+pomegranate juice, sour and sweet, very special. Coconut juice specially chooses Thai fragrant coconut, which tastes particularly sweet. After drinking, you can also ask the stall owner to dig down the coconut meat and eat it. Don't be too happy, hahaha.
Fruit: We have two fruit shops on the roadside not far from Gaozhuang residential area (not far from the ticket office in Jiangbei, where we bought jackfruit, eggs and fruits, etc.). I'm impressed with jackfruit. The night market is a small bowl of 10 yuan, with few pieces. In that small shop, my uncle is cutting half a bag of 10 yuan, which is still big. Haha, we had a good time. Eggs and fruits are also delicious. You can buy it and try it. It tastes like cake. Choose the soft one. It's amazing.

Formal storefront
We went to two restaurants, one is the online celebrity store Manfeilong roast chicken. It was about eleven in the morning when I went. There is 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. The best ones are chicken wings, oily and burnt. Pineapple rice is very fragrant, and hand-peeled bamboo shoots are very common, without special treatment.
The other is Dai Louyuan. We want to try our hand-grabbed rice and see if there is a group purchase at his house. A large portion, enough for two people. There are all kinds of meat outside, such as grilled fish, roast chicken, roasted pork belly, roasted ribs, roasted pigskin, cucumber strips and lettuce. Roasted pork belly is especially delicious and fragrant. Vegetable rice at the bottom and pineapple rice in the middle. The food is not too spicy, it feels like a microwave oven, but the meat outside is delicious. If you buy it in a group, it only costs 88 yuan, which is really cost-effective. Except for rice, both of us were basically eliminated.
Recommended scenic spots for finger food in 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. I'll give you a picture first to show you the general distribution of the scenic spots: (This picture was saved from the Q&A of bee friends, which I find particularly clear. I borrowed it, hee hee.
Well, with this basic concept, let's talk about the details.
First of all, when choosing a scenic spot, first look at what kind of place you like, then avoid duplication of types, and finally, consider the distance and cost. Then, when you plan your route, refer to the pictures above and arrange them together in the same direction, which will not be a big problem. You can also refer to the route provided by the scenic through train to facilitate the ride. Personally, I think Man Ting Park is very good in the city.
The ticket to Man Ting Park is 54 yuan/person. The broadcast time is 2-3 hours, and the opening time is 8- 17. Tickets to 54 yuan. If you buy it online, 49 yuan. You don't need to buy any battery cars. It's 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 performance: 9:50, 12:00, 15:40, elephant performance in parrot performance field: 10:30, 14: 50, 16:30, Dai Wang is here.
We watched the Royal Elephant Show at 14:50 pm. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to go to Wild Elephant Valley at all. Besides, tickets are expensive, and there are really no wild elephants. Near two o'clock, many people began to occupy seats at the meeting. At the end of two o'clock, the staff came out with four or five elephants, bathed them, washed and opened the door, and began to attract business to take pictures. 80 yuan was alone, and many people with children went to take pictures. After half an hour's visual inspection, twenty or thirty people had to take pictures. This money is earned a little fast.
The performance starts at 2: 50 sharp, during which there are some interactive projects. One of them is two workers pushing shopping carts in two supermarkets, which are full of cucumbers and bananas, and three of them are fed to elephants at the price of 10 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.
People listen to elephant performances in the park.
Man Ting Park is connected with the main Buddhist temples. Show me the tickets when you return to Man Ting.
The package of Wangtianshu in the General Buddhist Temple is 198 yuan/person (including scenic spot tickets+one-way Nanlahe sightseeing cruise+canopy corridor/rainforest covered bridge, opening hours are 8:30- 19:00, and playing time is 2-3 hours.
Route: Take a boat from Nanla River to the dock. After disembarking, follow the Philip Trail to the air corridor. After disembarking, take a bus from the other side to the parking lot.
I'm sorry, I can only provide you with this information, because I didn't do it, and I always feel sorry. In fact, I originally wanted to see the trees 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 see the trees, so I listened to him and changed it to the present situation. On the whole, I'm sorry I couldn't make it, so when making the itinerary, we should try not to hire a car to avoid being fooled.
The following map is also borrowed from the travel notes of bee friends for your reference.
Jinuo shanzhai tickets 160 yuan/person, opening hours are 9:00- 18:00, and the play time is 2 hours.
In fact, Keno Shanzhai is really small, but the overall management and planning is still good. You can go and see it sometime. At the gate of the scenic spot, every 10 minute, people who buy tickets within 10 minute will form a small group and count the number. Because we went early in the morning, it was a little after 9 o'clock when we arrived, and there were very few people. There are four people in a group, and a young resident in the stockade will show us around the stockade as a guide. This is the service included in the ticket, not the guide we found separately. At the gate, people wearing various ethnic costumes of Jino come to welcome you and then propose a toast. When I am happy, I drink a small glass and tilt my neck. After drinking it, I felt burning for a long time. For people who don't drink, this degree is really not low. Don't get too excited when the girls take the cups.
Welcome ceremony at the entrance of Keno cottage
Note: it will be a little cold to go to Keno cottage early in the morning. Remember to bring a thin coat.
The tour guide explained the origin and culture of Jinuo nationality to us all the way, which was quite interesting. After watching many small performances, we got some basic knowledge about 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 winter melon pigs, corn and sweet potatoes. I think 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 bananas. Watermelon and pineapple can be eaten at will, and only one banana can be taken. Everyone who came from behind tasted it and left. Only the four of us ate there for a long time, asking for the shadow area in the little tour guide's heart hahaha. Everyone must try pineapple. This is a local specialty, eyeless pineapple. It is sour, sweet and delicious. The whole trip will take about two hours.
Primitive forest park
Opening hours: 7:30- 18:00, tickets: 65 yuan, battery car: 70 yuan/person, playing time: 2-3 hours.
Generally speaking, I think this scenic spot is a bit embarrassing and I don't recommend it. In the whole scenic spot, the most crowded should be Ai Ai Village, and the most beautiful is the bridge at the gate. Nothing, it's just that someone will take you to the folk dance. You can also experience the bamboo dance, and be careful not to pinch your feet ~ Haha, we also caught up with the national instrumental music exhibition, just in time, and we also watched it. Actually, it's nothing, but it's quite interesting when the host interacts with the audience. Let's take a look. The whole scenic spot is basically like this. I just think my 1 15 yuan is for peacocks, and nothing else is special. Let's play it all and watch the performance for 2-3 hours. It would be faster if we had a battery car.

Tropical botanical garden
Battery car in scenic spot: 50 yuan/person/time, round trip 100 yuan/person/time. Play time, half a day in the west and half a day in the east.
Xishuangbanna is the most lovely place. Botanical Garden is divided into two areas: East and West. Because of the time, most tourists only visit the western region. The Western District is a well-planned area, which is clearly planned and divided into many different areas. You can buy your own ticket or walk like us. The tour bus stops by station. People with old people and children can choose tour buses. You can refer to the map below and plan your route in advance.
The East District is a completely different style, more natural and closer to the original state. There are only two stops in the east, but I think I need a tourist bus more than in the west, because it takes about five kilometers to reach the first stop, Green Stone Forest, and then it takes about two or three kilometers to reach the tropical rain forest. Therefore, although there are few stops, it is far away, so it is necessary to have a tour bus.
It is suggested that the elderly and people with poor legs and feet should not go to the Green Stone Forest Community, because they basically climb mountains. And the scenery is not very beautiful. Young people should exercise if they have enough time, but the proportion of exercise is not very high. The tropical rain forest area is interesting and primitive, and you can also see the big roots of the Green Stone Forest area here. It's like the rainforest in the movie. Very interesting. I suggest going there sometime. It doesn't matter to the elderly. Relatively speaking, it is much smoother than the green stone forest area, and a small number of roads should not be a problem.
shopping guide
In fact, if Xishuangbanna really wants to buy some special products, I think fruit is the best. If possible, you can buy several boxes of pineapples and mangoes to take home, and the taste is still very good.
In addition, we came across a kind of sour croissant called Maoduoli, which tastes good. I think it is also a good choice to take it back and share it with you. It happened that I left Man Ting Park early that day, so I went to Carrefour nearby, and it was 29.9 yuan a pack, which felt ok. If you will stay in Kunming after Xishuangbanna, you can buy it in the supermarket in Kunming, but don't go to the airport. I think the airport sells 65 and 80, which is really too expensive.
