Travel to Xishuangbanna, 8 Interesting Things

If you come to Xishuangbanna: 1️⃣👸🏻👸🏻 Be sure to visit Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area to take a set of Thai/Dai-style portraits; the grand golden pagoda here has enough Thai flavor, and the houses have a Laotian style. 2️⃣🦚🦚 If you're with a group, go for a peacock feast; even if you're alone or in a pair, there are plenty of restaurants offering Dai-style hand-picked rice for two, which is delicious and distinctive 😋. 3️⃣✨✨ Remember to stroll through the night market: not only is it large, but it also features lighting effects and many Korean-style star lights and trendy mini tents, blending Thai ambiance with a touch of Korean romantic freshness. 4️⃣🚣🏻‍♂️🚣🏻‍♂️ Next to the night market is the Mekong River floating market, where you can take a Thai-style boat ride and enjoy the brilliant lights at night, leisurely and romantic. 5️⃣🏕🏕 Walk from the night market towards the terraced golden pagoda, and you'll find a street lined with colorful houses, perfect for taking photos and checking in; there are also many shops to browse. 6️⃣🥃 Find a small bar to have a Laotian beer; ☕️ Or go to a cafe to drink a bag of Thai milk tea/Laotian iced coffee, the bagged version has a popular taste; the wooden house environment is relaxing and comfortable. 7️⃣⛈️🏨 You can stay once in a high-rise hotel room in the Gaozhuang area, where you can see the blue sky, white clouds, sunset, stars more closely and clearly, overlooking a sea of Laotian-style rooftops. 8️⃣💧 If time permits, I really recommend experiencing the Water-Splashing Festival: it usually lasts for 3 days, with activities like releasing sky lanterns, float parades, water splashing, food festivals, and there will be concerts at the Starlight Night Market 🎼; during this time, Xishuangbanna is like a 3-day experience: Chiang Mai Lantern Festival + Disney Float Parade + Ethnic Performances + Night Market Pagoda Concert + Water Splashing for Blessings; 🌹 lively and romantic 💕
