Listen to my advice, never go to Xishuangbanna from June to August!!

I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way home, it's just too much fun!!! Starlight Night Market✨, the stars of Xishuangbanna not only hang in the night sky but also sink to the ground🌠. If you like lively places, you can go to Gaozhuang to see the twinkling lights and the brilliance of the world. You can change into the local Dai ethnic clothing🎭 and pray quietly under the golden Buddha. 🎈Transportation Information High-speed train💺: You can take the high-speed train to Xishuangbanna Station, which is about 3 hours🕑 from Kunming. Airplane🚝: You can choose to fly to Xishuangbanna Gasa Airport. If there are no suitable flights, it's also convenient to fly to Kunming Changshui Airport and then take the high-speed train. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the airport to the city center. 🎈Attraction Recommendations 🌈Gaozhuang Gaozhuang is like a concentrated essence of Xishuangbanna, a top recommendation for playing and staying in Xishuangbanna. The famous Starlight Night Market is located here. The environment within the scenic area has a very Southeast Asian ethnic style, with glittering Buddhist architecture paired with various green tropical plants, bursting forth with an ethnic atmosphere. Buying a Dai skirt at the night market and taking over 10,000 beautiful photos is just too delightful. 🌈Manting Park Manting Park was once the royal garden of the Dai monarchy, where the gorgeous ethnic-style palace and tropical rainforest🌿 landscape complement each other. The park's lotus ponds🌺 and Dai Fei's Mansion are very photogenic. The park closes at five in the afternoon, so please plan your visit accordingly. The Grand Buddha Temple and Manting Park are connected, and you can choose to visit them together, but please be mindful of your attire🙆‍♂️, as the Grand Buddha Temple does not allow entry in short skirts or shorts🏃‍♀️. 🌈Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences Here you can see a comprehensive collection of tropical plants🎍. It's recommended to hire a guide or rent an audio guide to learn about the different plants for a more complete experience. From May to August, there is also the opportunity to take a night tour to see fireflies🎇, immersing yourself in the forest of fireflies. 🎈Hotel Recommendations I recommend staying at 🚩Licheng Courtyard·Yanyu (Xishuangbanna Dajinta Store), which is located within the Gaozhuang scenic area. The hotel is conveniently located, 9 kilometers from Gasa International Airport, and the environment is beyond words! 1. The hotel is about a two-minute walk from the Mekong River Starlight Night Market and the Water Six Countries. There are many popular food spots and photography stores📸 around, and the scenic area is right outside the door. 2. The hotel lobby is always filled with the fragrance of tea🍵, and the courtyard is small and beautiful, warm and cozy. Here, even the air and sunlight are lazy. Sitting here at leisure, sipping a pot of tea, gazing at the golden pagoda, basking in the sunlight, you can let your soul rest and enjoy a soft moment.🌾 3. The hotel's 12chang (12 Elephants) restaurant bar specializes in Southeast Asian cuisine🥘, with a refreshing and spicy taste that is irresistible. Here you can also find local specialties like rice noodles🍜 and rice sticks, which are very soft and smooth. Having a bowl for breakfast is truly a super enjoyable experience.
