I have always wanted to go to Xishuangbanna, and suddenly I want to go to Tengchong to see ginkgo, so I came to a trip that I just said, two adults and one small, 9 days, 8 nights and 5 flights of free travel, with a total cost of 15,000 yuan, plus 120,000 China Eastern Airlines miles (equivalent to 10,000 yuan). The whole trip is a good stay, the food is also very good, the combination of self-driving and chartered car, all attractions have cable cars and battery cars must be taken. To sum up, there are four must-visit attractions: Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tengchong Beihai Wetland, Tengchong Atami Scenic Area and Dehong Immortal Buddha Cave.

D1: Shanghai-Kunming, live in Kunming.

In the afternoon, the air tickets redeemed for China Eastern Airlines miles are too expensive and cannot be exchanged. It was already evening when I arrived in Kunming, so I went directly to the hotel near the airport to check in, and the hotel provided pick-up to prepare for the next morning flight.

D2: Kunming - Xishuangbanna, living in Xishuangbanna.

For the flight at 8 a.m., the hotel provides drop-off service, breakfast at the airport, and arrives in Xishuangbanna in the early 9 a.m. The ticket was cheap, considering that some of the miles were about to expire, so I changed to another ticket and bought 2 tickets. After arriving at the airport, the car rental company drove us to the store next to the airport, rented an economy car, and started the trip to Xishuangbanna.

I started playing according to the distance from the airport from far to near, so at the beginning the hotel was near the Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, driving for 3 hours to the hotel, and the surrounding shops had lunch, and then set off to look at the heavenly tree. The feature of Wangtianshu is the plank road on the top of the tree, which is very interesting, and an afternoon of play and driving back and forth is enough. In the evening, I chose the restaurant with the highest rating in the local area for dinner, but it was actually average.

D3: Xishuangbanna, living in Xishuangbanna.

Today's main attraction is the Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where the exotic flowers and plants are very worth seeing, and the primeval forest is also quite good, I took my baby to the whole journey. This attraction must be for one day, just go to the picture.

Because there are too few places to eat near the botanical garden, I drove directly to the Starlight Night Market to stay at the hotel, just for one reason, in order to eat well. I recommend the steam fish here, which is very delicious.

D4: Xishuangbanna, live in Xishuangbanna.

Today is two small attractions, Wild Elephant Valley and Keno Cottage, which are really average. There were no wild elephants in the Wild Elephant Valley, only tourists, which was very disappointing. Here is a friendly reminder that there is no parking at the south gate, and friends who drive to the north gate take the bus, 5 yuan per person to the south gate to watch the performance, and then eat an elephant meal, and don't sit on the ropeway, which is meaningless. After that, the Keno cottage was even more boring, watching people wear ethnic minority clothes and dance, and then went to the villagers' homes to start selling products, the tickets were still expensive, and I came out on the pretext of catching a plane after half of the sales.

was wise to come back early, ate good steam mushrooms and wandered around the night market, which was great.

D5: Xishuangbanna-Tengchong, live in Tengchong.

Check out early in the morning, drive to the Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple, and after wandering, go out directly to eat Internet celebrity pilaf, and then enter Manting Park, where you mainly watch elephant performances and parrot performances, which are not bad. After reading it, I drove directly to the airport and flew at night. It is worth mentioning that when planning the itinerary, the air tickets in and out of Tengchong may be because the ginkgo season is very expensive, and finally in order to save time and effort, it was decided to fly like this, and the air ticket cost more than 2,000 for three people, and this flight was only available the next day.

When we arrived at the airport, the hotel came to pick us up, and we stayed in Heshun Ancient Town. I wanted to start renting a car the next day, because there is a car rental point in Heshun Ancient Town, which can save the day. When I talked to the pick-up driver, 800 yuan was all-inclusive, originally I rented a car for 1,200 yuan, not including fuel, and decisively returned the car, from renting a car to chartering a car.

D6: Tengchong, live in Tengchong.

This is a slow life, eat breakfast after sleeping in. Then I went to the ginkgo village that I had always longed for, and there were too many people in a word, and I felt that it was not much different from Beijing Ditan Park. Ate the famous ginkgo chicken in it.

Then I went to Tengchong Beihai Wetland, this attraction exceeded my expectations, the scenery was incomparably better. You have to take a boat to feel it. Let's go straight to the picture. And the effect of aerial photography is better.

When you go back to the ancient town for dinner, you have to wait for a table at a popular hotel, so it is recommended to book in advance. And if you live on the other side of the river, it's quite a long way to eat and walk back, more than 20 minutes, so you have to pay attention when booking your stay.

D7: Tengchong, live in Tengchong.

Spend a day playing Tengchong Atami Scenic Area, which is worthy of being a 5A scenic spot, no water, wander around the scenic spots in the morning, eat the noodles in the package, and soak in the hot springs in the afternoon, which is really sulfur hot springs, and it took a whole day.

D8: Tengchong-Mangshi-Kunming, live in Kunming.

Originally, I went to see the volcano today, but because of the previous hot air balloon accident, the attraction was closed for rectification, and the hot spring was in vain, so let's leave a little regret. There are no attractions in Tengchong before, and the only choices are Ruili and Mangshi, Ruili is always a little flustered because of the previous epidemic, so she chose Mangshi and added 200 yuan to the driver, in fact, the toll and fuel cost are almost 200.

took less than 2 hours to drive from Tengchong to Mangshi, and after arriving, I played the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Great Silver Pagoda. Lunch was the famous peacock banquet here, which was very good.

There was still some time, and finally I chose to go to the cave, because I believe that the exotic flower garden is definitely not as good as the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so there is no need to go. I went to the Immortal Buddha Cave by mistake, this scenic spot is private, there is no A, but the scenery is really beautiful. I have been to the Zhijin Cave in Guizhou, but I feel that the Xianfo Cave can be comparable to the Zhijin Cave, and the scenery has its own merits.

Originally Tengchong flew to Kunming, but Mangshi also has an airport, so there is no need to drive back, directly from Mangshi to Kunming, the air ticket is discounted. I arrived in Kunming at 9 p.m. and was picked up at the hotel.

D9: Kunming-Shanghai

Early morning hotel drop-off, airport breakfast, morning flight back to Shanghai, also too expensive afternoon air tickets, and points can only be exchanged for morning air tickets. Then I used the bank card pick-up service to go home.

There is no mention of specific hotels in this article, in fact, as long as you think about the direction, there is no need to recommend which is cheaper to stay in a hotel of similar quality. For eating, you can also choose according to the ranking. But the planning of the whole trip is definitely the most economical and optimal.
