Yunnan Xishuangbanna Travel Guide
On the first day, I went to Mengle Buddha Temple right after getting off the plane - taking an electric car up the mountain, the exterior of the building is very magnificent, with different human-faced beasts guarding all four doors, suitable for photo check-ins, it feels like Thailand, but the palace interior is not yet open for entry, can only visit around, down the palace is the spectacular and sacred statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, not many attractions, about 1 hour can be finished.
The next morning at half past eight, I started to go to - Wangtianshu Scenic Area, because I stayed in a hotel near Gaozhuang last night, it's far from Wangtianshu, so I set off early, Wangtianshu is a must-visit attraction in my opinion, not heavily commercialized, fully immersive in nature, various types of trees, Tyndall effect, and the rope on the tree more than 80 meters high, very interesting, can take pictures of outdoor adventure, through the tropical rainforest feel, highly highly highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
(In the evening, I had the very popular peacock rice, very distinctive, first time eating insects, tastes a bit like shrimp strips, this kind of meal is not hot, it's all prepared in advance and plated, so it's a bit cold to eat, not recommended for those with poor digestion)
After dinner, I went to Gaozhuang for a photo shoot, went to - Star Image Museum, bought 198 yuan 25 film 4 retouched 1 set of clothes, makeup and hair took about an hour, very delicate 'painted by a Northeastern girl, a bit unfriendly in speech, but very good at painting', overall service in the store is also very good, the shooting guy helped us find less crowded places '⚠️taking pictures on the boat costs 20 yuan', so there are no passers-by in the photos, took about two hours to finish, already exhausted, returned to the hotel to rest at more than two in the morning, after removing makeup and washing, it was about three or four in the morning before I went to sleep🥱!
The third day it rained and I went to Dadugang Ten Thousand Mu Tea Field - it's not the time to pick tea, tasted a few varieties, I like Yiwu raw tea, bought some, and was given a lot of other flavors of Pu'er tea, change to drink at home, in the afternoon went to Wild Elephant Valley to have an elephant meal, I think the elephant meal is better than the peacock meal, maybe this fruit is more abundant, watched the elephant performance, there is a rainforest performance I didn't watch, too tired went to a less crowded place nearby to have Dai-style milk tea, here is very commercialized, not very interesting to me. In the afternoon at more than four o'clock, I went to Manting Park again, the backyard of the Dai king, more palace buildings, a popular attraction, also very commercialized, those who want to take Dai photos for check-in can come, just appreciate the attractions.
In the evening, I went to eat mushroom hot pot, maybe I'm not used to it, not recommended, after a day's walk, my body was sore and I found a nearby Dai spa - Daizan Source, Dai-style chicken killing plus medicinal wine massage 65 minutes 138, really stretched my whole body, there will be sales in the middle, but the overall experience is okay.
The fourth day I took the park sightseeing car to - Primitive Forest, here there are peacocks flying and water splashing festival activities, but I didn't watch, I went to Line A to play high-altitude rope, 160 yuan 7 projects, girls with good physical strength can go, there are many climbing in the middle, the hemp rope is a bit abrasive, you can prepare a pair of gloves in advance, very exciting! In the evening, I stayed at Wyndham Hotel, I really like this, there is a swimming pool and a small balcony, the environment is also very nice!
Come to Xishuangbanna not to visit Gaozhuang's Star Night Market is really equivalent to not coming, here is the real nightlife, the most lively, the most popular, the most feel. Because it is a post-epidemic period, as long as you make an appointment on the spot, you can scan the code to enter, there is a little trouble, but fortunately, the speed is very fast and can be accepted. After entering the night market, it really opened our eyes to these people from the north. It was too spectacular and too bright. How many stalls and how much electricity is consumed every day, directly artificial a night viewing landscape. The street is full of young ladies wearing Thai clothes (with their shoulders exposed). Some are in travel photography and some are shopping. It is really pleasant. The night market has a lot of repeated products, and most of the products are produced in Yiwu. It is good to go shopping at the night market and take pictures.
Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is located in the core of the Lancang River Ethnic Style Tourism Resort in Xishuangbanna, adjacent to the Lancang River, the gateway of Xishuangbanna in Weixi, which is the first stop for tens of millions of tourists to reach Banna. Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is in Jinghong County, a slang language, which means "Jiuta Twelve Villages" in Han. It is popular to say that Gaozhuang is a district, but also a tourist area. There are twelve different stockades in each area. But when you walk into the area there is no real detail, these stockade names now appear to be only used as the name of the house number, there is no obvious dividing line. The whole area is not too big. Therefore, as long as you mention Gaozhuang, it is a tourist area, you can eat, live and play. In this Gaozhuang, there are many famous attractions: Star Night Market, Shwedagon Pagoda Temple, Six Nations Floating Market, these three attractions are connected together, all free; There are many famous snacks and net red restaurants; there are many very special homestays. In Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Ganbai Street, there are all kinds of ethnic cuisine, pure Yi flavor of banquet culture, high-profile Manfeilong roast chicken, "bullshit" Taichao Niuzhuang, there are petty bourgeoisie and feelings of the Mekong coffee, etc., rows of ecological cabins built by wood, The rustic red brick road and lush green plants make the street more quiet. In Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, do what you want to dream, go where you want to go, eat what you want to eat, become the person you want to be, all by yourself.
From Kunming by train to everywhere full of Southeast Asian exotic style, beautiful Xishuangbanna. When the high-speed rail was not opened last year, I took a plane from Kunming and found that the style of the street can be seen everywhere, even the decoration on the top of the book and newspaper kiosk is like Thai style. After arriving at Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Scenic Area, it seems to be in Thailand. When I came to Xishuangbanna, I found that there are many people in the northeast here. The whole is full of Northeast accents, especially in the Gaozhuang scenic area. From tourists to business stores, almost every opening is Northeast, and even many of the barbecues in costumes at the Starlight Night Market are Northeast. Before I came, I had been thinking that this place belongs to the tropical area. There are definitely many types of fruits and they are cheap. After I came, I found that the price of fruits here is not cheap, and it is much more expensive than Hainan. The well-known scenic spots in Xishuangbanna are far from Jinghong City. There is no public transportation to go. If you want to go in the past, you need to go to the visitor center at the gate of Gaozhuang to take a direct bus to the scenic spot or carpool online. In Xishuangbanna, especially in the Xishuangjing Scenic Area of Gaozhuang, there are many shops, one by one. Peacocks and elephants can be seen everywhere on the street. There are also young girls dressed in Yi costumes who travel to take pictures, which are moving scenery everywhere. There are also special snacks everywhere. One of the two most common types here is leeks, which seem to be able to eat anything here. The oysters are to put things in stone or nipples, which is very similar to Thai food. Another type is barbecue. I always thought that there were fewer barbecues in the south before I came to Xishuangbanna. I never thought of finding a variety of barbecues everywhere here, especially the stew barbecue. "Beautiful Xishuangbanna", mention Xishuangbanna, always in front of the natural addition of the word "beautiful", this is my initial impression of Xishuangbanna.
The shooting is very good. The service attitude is also very good. The makeup lady will ask about the style you want. Overall, I am satisfied. Xishuangbanna is also very beautiful. I recommend everyone to go, good travel memories.
I liked the makeup completely beyond my expectations, and the photographer was very patient and kept asking me what you had in mind! Very recommended! Very recommended!
Really good! It was a very good experience, not only the clothing styles, the makeup is also very satisfactory, the service attitude is also very good, will come again next time!
You must come to Yunnan to take pictures. Not to mention the service is also very friendly. I feel the hospitality of Yunnan people. Praise praise!
