fourth season of Longing for Life is scheduled to start in May, and this season they moved the mushroom house to the rainforest and started a charming tropical life.

This

is a tropical place with a famous sense of happiness in Yunnan, where the sun is abundant all year round, and the slow life is bound by the fast pace of the city. It has a great attraction, a place full of yearning before going and will never forget it when you come back.

The filming location of "Longing 4" this time is Manyuan Village, Menghan Town, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Xishuangbanna is also a popular old attraction in China, and I believe that most people's impression of this place is still stuck in the negative information of pit tour guides.

Xishuangbanna has changed a lot after several years of rectification and development, This time, let's follow the small ticket to re-acquaint yourself with this Internet celebrity city where tropical rainforests and ethnic minority customs coexist!

Xishuangbanna means "Mengparanasi" in Dai language, understood as "ideal and magical paradise", where the average temperature is about 19°C-23°C throughout the year, and the strong exotic style is born as a good place for vacation.

There is a strong humanistic atmosphere here, and the Dai people are the main ethnic group, with 13 ethnic groups inhabited. The scenery is beautiful and rich and diverse in food, even well-informed people will show their yearning for such Xishuangbanna.

Next, let's take a look at the must-check Internet celebrity attractions in Xishuangbanna's tropical rainforest.

Gaozhuang West Shuangjing

Gaozhuang West Shuangjing is a Dai language, which means "nine towers and twelve villages", which are almost all Dai characteristic buildings, and the Shwedagon Pagoda in Gaozhuang is a landmark building, designed and built by Thai craftsmen.

Dai specialty food stalls are everywhere here, so don't miss the night view. The fruits and barbecue restaurants here are delicious and cost-effective, and they are very popular in the local area.

Wild Elephant Valley

Xishuangbanna accounts for 1/4 of the country's animal population, and Wild Elephant Valley is the only attraction here where you can observe wild elephants up close, and there are only more than 300 elephants left in these populations. There are usually warnings prohibiting honking on many roads for fear of disturbing elephants.

Now you can see wild elephant herds in the reserve almost once a day, not only that, but also rare animals such as peacocks and macaques in the reserve.

In addition to seeing animals and rainforest adventures, don't miss the rafting of the Lancang River, which is quite exciting to raft in this international river that nurtures the entire Indochina Peninsula. Especially the Lancang River in the rainy season is dangerous and fascinating.

The

16-kilometer round trip "rafting" also enjoyed the tropical rainforest scenery on both sides of the river, which can be regarded as a close contact with the "Oriental Danube". Horseback riding is also available on small islands along the way.

Unique Southeast Asian cultural customs The

southeast, south and southwest parts of Xishuangbanna are connected to Laos and Myanmar, and are adjacent to Thailand and Vietnam, and many ethnic minorities live in the territory.

Ethnic minorities account for 70% of the permanent population of Xishuangbanna, including Dai, Hani, Kino, etc., all of which are local ethnic minorities, many of which are unique to Xishuangbanna.

In the local area of Xishuangbanna, pagodas and Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere, and many Buddha and little monks in cassock walk by from time to time.

If you haven't gone out for a long time in the busyness of work, then walk into Xishuangbanna together and start a life of cloud tourism.
