? The Dai Garden in Xishuangbanna is very worth visiting. I have been there three times.

?People often say that Xishuangbanna is a beautiful green peacock, the peacock’s tail is in Olive Dam, and the Dai Garden is the most beautiful feathers on the peacock’s tail.

The scenic spot has beautiful scenery, simple folk customs, and is full of poetry and painting. It is green all year round, surrounded by bamboo forests, and full of fruit trees. Bananas, coconuts, betel nut, jackfruit, and mangoes cast a thick green shade on the village and the bamboo buildings.

Nestled among the green trees and bamboos, the fragrance of tropical flowers blooms in the wind, making it quiet and peaceful.
