Lancang River, which originates in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, our country, is the mother river of six Southeast Asian countries, and is internationally known as the Mekong River. Before coming to the Lancang River, it was a fantasy secret place, and what I saw here was a peerless scenery, which depicted a different kind of beauty of China's borders!

As early as the years when we were studying, we all heard a very pleasant golden song called "Night on the Lancang River" and "Golden Peacock and Phoenix Bamboo" and other songs. Whenever I hear these pieces played by ethnic minority instruments, it always gives people an infinitely beautiful reverie. I always wanted to work hard to save money to see the distant but beautiful Lancang River when I grew up, but I didn't expect to come here as I wished, this is the night of the Lancang River!

The Lancang River flows through six Southeast Asian countries, including China, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and is the last stop in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, our country. The Shuangbanna City section of the Lancang River is the most convenient choice for foreign tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lancang River. Therefore, I chose to enjoy the night of the Lancang River.

Xishuangbanna The urban framework is built on both sides of the Lancang River, the north bank of the river is a tourist and vacation area, and the south bank of the river is the downtown area of Xishuangbanna. Whether you are in the south or north of the river, you can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Lancang River.

Xishuangjing Gaozhuang is a more distinctive tropical style tourist area in Xishuangbanna urban area, relying on the Lancang River to create a tourist resort city on the southern border. The beauty of the Lancang River at night is so unbelievable, it is like entering a peaceful and beautiful place without any worries, so I want to describe it as a peerless scenery!

In China, this river is called the Lancang River, and in Southeast Asian countries, it is called the Mekong River, whether it is called the Lancang River or the Mekong River, what we care about is the peerless scenery and night view. The scenery with a Southeast Asian style gives people a different kind of visual enjoyment, do you feel this way?

Looking at the night market on the other embankment of the river through this stone bridge, a Southeast Asian tropical night market style is more obvious, and this feeling is still rare in China. Everywhere exudes unique and exotic scenery, and the beauty of this different border city is so intoxicating!

The

boats coming and going on the Lancang River passed quickly, adding a lot of exotic elements to the charm of the Lancang River at night, and Shan Yejun stayed here for several hours, Admire the exotic scenery under the hard night. This kind of beauty is more artistic than we imagined, and I don't know how to express it in an accurate word!

In the Six Nations Floating Market and Starlight Night Market on the north bank of the Lancang River, you can see the night scenery that only appears in Southeast Asian countries, but I didn't expect that the night in Xishuangbanna could be so beautiful. How can it not be likable?

Xishuangbanna borders Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam in Southeast Asia, so the buildings here are very similar to these countries, and because the six countries in Southeast Asia have frequent exchanges, Therefore, the living customs and architectural style are basically the same, so coming to Xishuangbanna is like going to a Southeast Asian country, which is very exotic.

Stationary ships and moving ships create different pictures, and the two different styles of pictures are only because of the stillness and movement of the ship. Both styles of pictures are full of the beauty of the southern border, and I like the scenery of the two different pictures, because it is rare to see such scenery in China, so I like it very much. So which scene do you like?
