I've been to Xishuangbanna 9 times and stayed up all night to put together some advice

🔥Here comes the Xishuangbanna Pitfall Avoidance Guide! Buddies, quickly jot it down in your notebooks! 📝 🛫️Tip 1: Direct flights to Banna can be a bit pricey! 💰If you want to save some money, consider checking the cost of transferring in Kunming or taking the high-speed rail. There are more flights to Kunming and the prices are relatively more affordable. 🚄 🏞️Tip 2: There are so many attractions in Banna, but many are similar, such as palaces🏰, temples🏯, tropical botanical gardens🌴, ethnic villages🏞️, and night markets🌃. It's recommended to experience one of each to enjoy different charms. 🏞️Tip 3: Manting Park and the Grand Buddha Temple are connected. After entering Manting Park, don't rush to discard your ticket🎫, as it allows direct entry to the Grand Buddha Temple! 🕍 🙏Tip 4: When visiting temples to worship, remember not to wear sunglasses👓, or clothes that are too revealing like short skirts👗. Photography is not allowed inside📸, so be respectful of religious beliefs. 👗Tip 5: Manting Park is a great place for photos, and you can wear Dai ethnic clothing for a fantastic backdrop! 📷But when entering the temple, remember not to touch the statues of gods or Buddhas🙇, and don't randomly strike the bells and drums inside. 🔔 🦚Tip 6: The peacock flying show in the Primitive Forest Park is amazing, with six shows a day, but it's canceled on rainy days, so remember to avoid going on overcast and rainy days! ☔️ 🐘Tip 7: When visiting Wild Elephant Valley, remember not to wear flip-flops🩴, and pregnant women are not allowed to participate. Always keep quiet in Wild Elephant Valley🤫, don't make loud noises, so as not to scare the elephants🐘. 🦟Tip 8: Banna has a tropical climate with dense vegetation and lots of mosquitoes. Remember to bring mosquito repellent🦟, and it's best to wear long sleeves and pants👖 when visiting rainforest areas to protect yourself from bites. 💎Tip 9: Don't casually buy 'Burmese jade' in scenic areas or markets, as it's hard to distinguish the real from the fake. If you want to buy, it's recommended to go to large supermarkets and remember to ask for a receipt🧾 to avoid being scammed. 🎊Tip 10: Please respect the customs of the Dai people and other ethnic minorities when touring. It's best to understand the customs and traditions of the main ethnic groups in Banna before going to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. 👥 📸Tip 11: There are many photo studios in the Starlight Night Market, it's suggested to choose a larger shop with more clothing options. Before shooting, ask the photographer how many shots are taken, the time for receiving the photos, etc., to avoid subsequent troubles. 💡 🍜Tip 12: Banna's cuisine has a Southeast Asian flavor, with sour and spicy as the main tastes. If you can't handle sour and spicy, remember to inform the restaurant in advance to avoid ordering dishes that don't suit your taste. 🌶️ 🎫Tip 13: Always buy tickets from official platforms, don't buy from scalpers. Although it might be cheaper, there's no guarantee, and you might end up not being able to enter the attraction, which is not worth the risk. 🚫 💰Tip 14: Try not to join low-cost tours, estimate the local cost of food, accommodation, transportation, and attractions in advance to avoid being misled by low-cost tours. 💸 🍉Tip 15: The fruits in Banna are really delicious! But when buying fruit, make sure it's freshly cut, try not to buy pre-cut fruits to ensure freshness and hygiene. 🍇 Alright, these are the pitfall avoidance tips I've gathered from my travels in Xishuangbanna! I hope they can help everyone have a fun and safe trip! 🥳
