    The botanical garden's trees, flowers, and many medicinal herbs are worth admiring. I especially liked the exotic flower garden and the flower garden; the bright blossoms against the blue sky and white clouds made for amazing photos. There are also hot air balloons to experience. The botanical garden is 70 kilometers from the city center, so remember to book a car or hire a private vehicle. If you prefer walking, don't take the sightseeing bus; the whole experience should take about 4 hours. If you don't want to walk, take the sightseeing bus; it costs 80 yuan per person and takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I recommend buying the West Zone ticket. Visiting the Dai Ethnic Garden in the afternoon to catch the Water Splashing Festival at 3:40 PM is perfect.

    The Wild Elephant Valley isn't very big; you can walk through it quickly. There are only two shows in total. It feels like going to Wild Elephant Valley is just a quick stop in Xishuangbanna—you can feed the elephants and watch an educational program. The kids seemed okay with it too. 🤭

    I'm very satisfied with the flights and hotels booked by your company. I recommend the Naga S Hotel; it's so comfortable, with a great environment, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast. Most importantly, it's conveniently located within the scenic area.

    This group-buying package offers the best value for money online. Not only did we have a fantastic time, but it also included a rainforest meal. The air in the mountains was so fresh, the streams were crystal clear, and the scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended! 👍

    This wildlife park is packed with interactive experiences and highly recommended for family trips. Almost all the animals are interactive; you can even pet the gentler ones like the Kapibala. You can feed the large carnivores, especially the bears near the entrance, for which there's a specially built viewing platform. The tigers are also available for feeding, and you can even take photos with the cubs up close. The only downside is the climb; the sightseeing bus only covers about 60% of the route…

    The visual impact of "Lijiang Eternal Love" is absolutely stunning! The waterfall in the story is real, the rain curtain scene is real, and there's real water cascading down from above—it's incredibly realistic and refreshing. What's most moving is the interpretation of the legend of the Third Kingdom of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain; it's not about sadness, but about reverence for love. I was deeply moved long after the performance ended; it's definitely a show worth seeing twice.

    Sun River Forest Park is a great place for families with children. We hired a guide named Nanli, who gave an excellent tour, answered all our questions, and was very friendly. The kids loved her and were so happy to leave when it was time to go…

    Visiting the Mu Palace during the day is the best time to truly appreciate its grandeur. The architectural lines, courtyard layers, and carved beams and painted rafters are all clearly visible in the sunlight, relying solely on their natural beauty without any nighttime filter. The overall scale is considerable, and as you walk around, you can feel the confidence of the Mu family, who once held absolute power in Lijiang. The highlights are the expansive views and meticulous layout. Standing on higher ground overlooking the ancient city, you instantly understand why they could rule for centuries. The downsides are the large number of tourists and the somewhat official-sounding guide signs, but these don't prevent you from taking stunning photos. Overall: Worth a visit, especially during the day to truly appreciate its scale and details.

    The 3-hour explanation was excellent, the timing was just right, and it wasn't tiring at all even with elderly people. I'm very grateful to Mr. Xiong Lin, the teacher who gave us the explanation; it was truly wonderful!

    The main attraction is the crater. To ride a hot air balloon, you must go early in the morning. It costs 300 yuan per person, takes 6-8 minutes, and each balloon seats 6-8 people. The highest point reaches about 200 meters, at an altitude of approximately 2000 meters. From the air, you can overlook the Dakongshan crater. If you're traveling with elderly people, I recommend climbing Xiaokongshan (smaller crater), which has about 100+ stairs, while Dakongshan has over 1000. I bravely took the hot air balloon ride, thinking it was worth trying, but make sure to hold your phone securely 📱, and it's best to bring a phone strap to keep it on your body 😜
