Xishuangbanna is an off-the-beaten-path destination

If you want to stay away from popular tourist spots and escape crowded places, then I recommend these 4⃣️ hidden gems in Xishuangbanna: ✅Prajna Temple: The silver-white temple is stunning under the sunlight. It is located on a mountain, and although the temple is not large, its architecture is extremely exquisite and luxurious. The multi-faced golden Buddha inside the white pagoda is both mysterious and sacred. This is a unique white temple, and it's not far from Gaozhuang, making it worth a visit‼️ ✅Manduo Ancient Village The various villages and ancient fortresses around Jinghong are the best experiences to understand the local customs of Banna. The popular Manyuan Village and Manzhang Village are too far from Gaozhuang, and a round-trip taxi ride can cost up to a hundred or two hundred. However, the nearby Manduo Ancient Village is small and still retains its thousand-year history and appearance. An hour's stroll is enough to see the ancient springs, ancient trees, and ancient temples, all of which are very distinctive. If you get tired, you can have afternoon tea at the 'Manduo Courtyard,' one of the few restaurants in the village. ✅Dai Xiang Water City The architecture is very beautiful, and it's a more niche spot for photos than the Starlight Night Market. There aren't many people taking pictures in Dai Xiang Water City, so you can take your time. The best photo spot is next to the stone beasts by the river, where you can capture people and buildings from the opposite side or the bridge, filled with exotic charm. Next to Dai Xiang Water City is the barbecue restaurant (Mazha Barbecue) that survived the big fire in Banna. ✅Mengyuan Wonderland Trekking in the tropical rainforest is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The rainforest trek takes over 3 hours, wading through rivers, walking mountain paths, observing animals and plants, swinging on swings, eating the heart of banana stems... so many unforgettable memories.
