Speaking of China's cold escape holy places, which city do you think of?

In addition to Sanya, what I can think of must be Xishuangbanna.

Xishuangbanna, known as a hot land without winter, even if we are cold like a dog in winter, there is also a tsundere forehead appearance of "it is cold with it, and I blow the mountain hill from the breeze". Where is the most comfortable place to travel in winter? Go to Banna, Banna's winter will definitely make you feel so cool.

Let's introduce to you how to play in Banna.

Banna's first impression

Banna has jurisdiction over one city and two counties, Jinghong City, Menghai County and Mengla County, Jinghong City is the center of Banna, and the Lancang River and the Mekong River pass through the city, dividing the urban area into Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and Jiangnan is the main urban area.

Menghai County borders Myanmar and is the core production area of Pu'er tea, and Mengla County borders Laos and Myanmar, which is the port of the Lancang River and the Mekong River, and is also the southernmost point of Yunnan Province.

Accommodation

in Banna

Because most of the attractions are concentrated in Jinghong City, we generally choose accommodation near Jinghong City or Menglu Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden when we go to Banna, these two tourist distribution centers I have had accommodation experience, and I am more impressed that there is an inn group near the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and there is one thereXishuangbanna Yunmeiting Inn, a more reliable inn, cost-effective, extremely high service, typical Dai style, the room is decorated with bamboo, the natural primitive sense is particularly strong, it is quite comfortable to live, and it is convenient to go to other attractions, which can be recommended all at once.

Banna's food

Banna's food is definitely the best in many cities in Yunnan, Dai flavor is the most indispensable part, the taste is mainly sour and spicy, the main meal dishes are pineapple rice, lemongrass grilled fish, roast chicken, boiled rice, etc., the food stalls at night are definitely the essence of the food, vegetable wrapped fish, dry fried jelly, deadly skewers are definitely delicious series, must not be missed.

Attractions

in Banna

1. The Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is highly recommended, it is near the inn mentioned above, which seems to be the only 5A scenic spot in Banna, which has seven parks, including a tropical rainforest scenic spot.

2. Wangtianshu Scenic Area should be the most authentic tropical rainforest, with many entertainment projects, and there are also canopy corridors, walking on the trees, and experiencing the most unique style of the tropical rainforest.

3. Wild elephant valley is going to go, especially if you are with children, but whether the wild elephant can see it depends on luck, but there is an elephant performance, but there is no shadow of the wild elephant anymore.

4. There is a peacock flying performance in the primeval forest park, and the valley rainforest is the essence, the local peacocks are quite spectacular when they fly, and the air is so good that it bursts.

5. There is a bonfire party in Manting Park at night, singing and dancing, and there is also the main Buddhist temple with the highest status in Banna at the back door.

6. The Tea Horse Ancient Road Scenic Area is a paradise for Pu'er tea lovers, if you like tea, you must go to the Tea Horse Ancient Road.

7. Mengle Great Buddha Temple is a temple with a very long history, which is different from the temples seen in other places, and it happens to be one of the unique places in Banna.

Banna's shopping

I think there are two things that are the most worth buying in Banna, Pu-erh tea and fruit. The rainforest has a wide variety of fresh fruits, many of which have never been seen or heard of. But don't buy it at the night market or roadside, it's expensive, and you may be pitted, so you have to go to the market or farmer's market to buy it.

The price of Pu-erh tea varies, it is recommended that you don't always stare at the expensive one, just buy what you think tastes good.

Postscript

To be honest, Banna is a city tailored to avoid the cold, there are many ethnic elements, and the tropical rainforest-like scenery is even more unforgettable, lingering, and stepping into this hot land without winter on a warm winter day, what do you think is the experience? Is it okay to avoid the cold like this?
