Tourists who have been to Xishuangbanna know that most of the scenic spots here are charged, and the prices are not cheap. However, the most popular place for tourists and the highest ticket sales is known for the lowest ticket price in Xishuangbanna, and it is popular with tourists because of a variety of play points, this scenic spot has low fees, there are many features to play, becoming the most humane attraction in Xishuangbanna, and it has also become the most popular scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, do you know which one?

The scenic spot with the lowest tickets in Xishuangbanna is Manting Park, at first I thought it was a city park, charging 20 yuan is not cheap, but it is the most popular scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, I think there must be a certain amount of interest. When I read the introduction at the door, I found that Manting Park contains many attractions and local performances, and then I felt that the 20 yuan ticket was very cost-effective.

Manting Park is an urban park with a tropical rainforest style, according to the introduction, it is the place where the royal family of the Dai King of the six Southeast Asian countries lived, which is the most historical place in Xishuangbanna. Entering the gate of Manting Park, you will be greeted by a rainforest environment with a Southeast Asian style, which is very comfortable. I didn't expect to experience this kind of environment in the city, and Yamano-kun liked it here for the first time.

As a tropical rainforest climate, Xishuangbanna is already in the middle of summer at the end of May, and it is very hot. Fortunately, the vegetation in Manting Park is very high, and the tree-lined paths suddenly cool down the already hot air. Wandering in this primeval forest-level environment is an extremely comfortable trip in itself, which makes the noisy and restless heart suddenly calm down a lot.

As early as more than 1,300 years ago, Manting Park was the imperial garden of the Dai royal palace, and it is said that the first princess liked this place and often came here to play, thinking that she was fascinated by the soul, and finally named this place Manting Garden. The Dai buildings seen in this former imperial garden have a strong Southeast Asian style.

Under normal circumstances, places with the most Dai historical heritage, such as the ruins of the Dai Palace, must charge tickets, and the price is expensive. However, you only need to pay a large ticket of 20 yuan to visit the ruins of the Dai Palace, a thousand-year-old Dai royal palace, for free. This architectural feature is still very visual aesthetic and worth a visit.

Sure enough, it is a palace, and when you enter the ruins of the Dai Palace, you will see a magnificent scene, which is very atmospheric. The ancient Dai people also have their own architectural art and cultural characteristics. The ruins of the Dai Palace are part of Manting Park, if you like architecture, Shanyejun especially recommends spending more time to appreciate the Dai Palace buildings inside and outside.

The Erawan Buddha, which is common in Southeast Asian countries, can also be seen in the General Buddha Temple in Manting Park, but I didn't expect to see this kind of exotic building in Xishuangbanna, which is full of freshness. Buildings and Buddha statues full of Southeast Asian style are also one of the important attractions of Manting Park, and it is not easy to see such a free visit in the whole of Xishuangbanna. It seems that this Manting Park is still worth visiting here, at least Yamano-kun I think it is worth a visit.

After coming up from the hillside along the lake trail, you will find the main entrance of the General Buddha Temple, and you will see Buddha statues that are only found in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Seeing these statues of the Bodhisattvas gives me a happy mood and an exotic style, which is really amazing. Unfortunately, due to the impact of the epidemic, religious places across the country are temporarily closed to the public, so Yamanojun can only visit the gate of the main Buddhist temple and wait for the next time to come again.

Elephants are a species endemic to the rainforest area, and most of the elephant shows in Xishuangbanna are charged except for Manting Park. There are several elephant shows every day in Manting Park, and this show is no longer a separate attraction. In addition to the elephant performance in Manting Park, there is also a parrot show, these are all attractions that require manpower and material resources, and they are actually free here, I have to say that Manting Park is the most conscientious scenic spot in Xishuangbanna and even the entire Yunnan Province, and the 20 yuan ticket can have so many attractions, I have to praise it!

Although the overall scale of Manting Park is not particularly large, there are many highlights, and the ecological environment is also first-class. The highlights of Manting Park mainly include tropical rainforest plants, Dai palace ruins, Dai Cultural Museum, Dai King Imperial Garden, General Buddha Temple, green shade walking path, parrot performance, elephant performance, lotus garden, general Buddha temple, etc., the key so many attractions only need to spend 20 yuan to enjoy them all, isn't it humane? Manting Park, which has the lowest tickets and the most attractions in Xishuangbanna, deserves to become the number one popular scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, which seems to be well deserved!
