Live Your Best Lives
October 02, 2022
Yesterday I went from Tengchong to Pu'er, and today I plan to go from Pu'er to Banna. I will go to the Wild Elephant Valley on the way.
09:06 Depart from the Vienna Hotel in Pu'er (Pu'er Airport Tea City Center Branch)
Entered G8511 Expressway from Pu'er North Toll Station at 09:43, exited the expressway from Yexianggu North Toll Station at 10:55, entered G213, and arrived at Yexianggu North Gate Parking Lot at 11:02 (the South Gate Parking Lot was full).
Ticket price for Wild Elephant Valley: 60 yuan/person, cable car: 50 yuan/person.
As soon as you enter the door
Very cute little gibbon.
We went in the opposite direction, climbing to the top first, then taking the cable car down (trying to see wild elephants) to reach the South Gate.
Buy a ticket for the cable car.
No wild elephants were found.
Arrived at the lower station of the cable car. Entered the botanical garden.
There are many beautiful plants. Doesn’t this one look like a dancing princess? Butterfly Valley

After leaving the botanical garden and butterfly valley, it is important to see the elephants.
On the way, we met elephants preparing to perform.
Buying food to feed the elephants is a favorite for children!
After the tour, walk back to the north gate.

Meet the mysterious lazy fat guy!
Left Wild Elephant Valley at 14:16 and arrived at Xishuangbanna Dai Garden Hotel at 15:03.
Go to Gaozhuang Xishuangjing at 18:00 and arrive at Gaozhuang Xishuangjing at 18:34 (parking fee: 10 yuan). Parking is very difficult here! After circling around for a long time, I finally parked the car in the underground parking lot under the high-rise building in front. The entrance below is right after I came out.
At night, walk around the street outside the Starlight Night Market.
Enter the Starlight Night Market. There were a lot of people, most of them were taking pictures!
Leave the scenic area at 20:45 and return to Dai Garden Hotel

Today's goal is Dai Garden and Manting Park.
Depart at 09:45, arrive at Dai Garden parking lot at 10:28 (ticket: 45, shuttle bus: 40)
There are very few people!
Upon inquiry, I found out that there was an epidemic in Xishuangjing last night (bad!), and the tour groups have been cancelled today.
This is the center of Songkran.
Left the Dai Garden at 12:17. There was a nucleic acid testing point just outside the scenic area, so I took a nucleic acid test.
12:45 Arrived at Manting Park parking lot (ticket: 40)
Leave Manting Park at 14:55 and return to Dai Garden Hotel.
The situation is not good!
Leave quickly tomorrow!
