Xishuangbanna is an ethnic minority area dominated by the Dai ethnic group, and its history and culture are simpler than those of Han land. But this does not mean that the Dai area has no history and culture, there is a historical and cultural site in Xishuangbanna that is equivalent to the Forbidden City in Han land, but this only historical and cultural site charges more than you can imagine, only 20 yuan. This may not be expected by many people, right? Let's go and see this historical and cultural site together!

The

Dai Palace site in Xishuangbanna is the only cultural relic in the Xishuangbanna area, which is a relatively complete display of the architecture and culture of the Dai royal family. The main core areas such as the Dai Cultural Exhibition Hall and the Dai King's Palace all adopt the most traditional Dai royal architectural style, giving people a rather exotic style and feeling very novel and unique.

The scale of the Dai palace ruins is large, and the historical and cultural atmosphere is also very strong, but can you imagine that this is a place that charges only 20 yuan? The ruins of the Dai Palace are located in the Manting Park in the center of Xishuangbanna, and there is no need to buy separate tickets for the scenic spot after purchasing tickets for the Manting Park, so in a sense, the ticket price of the Dai Palace ruins is quite polite.

Someone wants to ask if such a building is so new, is it really a ruin? As for whether this place is a former site, no one dares to answer. However, this building was definitely built later, and these buildings and the layout of the Dai palace were based on historical documents and were not built arbitrarily.

In 1950, Xishuangbanna was finally liberated, and in order to preserve the cultural customs of the Dai people, the state supported Xishuangbanna to have its own customs and culture. As a result, many destroyed sites were re-excavated, developed and constructed, and Premier Zhou personally came to the Songkran Square in Manting Park to celebrate Xishuangbanna.

The

interior of the Dai Palace is magnificent and full of atmospheric atmosphere. The palace is much smaller than the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it is not small for the Dai people, who have a total population of only a few million. If the most important relic of Han is the Forbidden City in Beijing, then the Dai Palace is equivalent to the Forbidden City of the Dai people, and its status is very prominent.

The atmosphere of the main building of the Dai Palace is two-story, the first floor is the place to display the discussion between the Dai king and the courtiers, the second floor is to display the traditional handicrafts of the Dai people and Dai costumes, etc., the exhibition halls on the upper and lower floors are scientifically and reasonably distributed, the atmosphere is beautiful, so that people can appreciate the wonderful items while subtly learning the characteristic culture of the Dai people, and the Dai culture is also the indispensable wisdom crystallization of China's 56 ethnic groups.

On one side of the Dai King's Palace is an exhibition hall dedicated to displaying the intangible cultural heritage of the Dai people, which is full of Dai-style buildings, which makes people very interested in it. Among them, the display of musical instruments accounts for a large part of this exhibition hall, and I feel that it is very worth spending dozens of dollars to appreciate such a beautiful and connotative cultural site, and those who are interested in architecture and culture may wish to take a look.

According to the historical records of the Dai people, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Dai people had settled and lived in the Lancang River and Nujiang River and established a socially stable and prosperous Dai tribe, and multiplied and expanded to some countries in Southeast Asia. In Manting Park, you can learn a lot of history and culture related to the Dai people by visiting the ruins of the Dai Palace, which is quite interesting and knowledgeable, and is highly recommended! Praise for Xishuangbanna, a scenic spot with low tickets and high-quality attractions!

Since Xishuangbanna entered the hot and rainy season after entering June, it lasted until the end of October, so it was the best season to come to Xishuangbanna from early November to early June of the following year, so this season is naturally the best time to visit the ruins of the Dai Palace in Manting Park. Normal opening hours are from 08:00 to 18:00. The transportation location is also very convenient, and it is only a few minutes away from the city center to the ruins of the Dai Palace in Manting Park by bus, taxi and ride-hailing mode.
