Flew to Xishuangbanna specifically for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden
You must visit 'Xishuangbanna' at least once,
Run under the tall palm trees in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden is divided into east and west areas. The west area has a variety of plant types and the roads are very flat, which is friendly to the elderly and childrenđ.

What I felt in the 'West Area of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden'
Is far more shocking and beautiful than my imaginationâ¨.

It's easy to fall in love with this place - the essence of Xishuangbanna attractions - the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden
Before heading to Xishuangbanna, my colleagues had all sorts of recommendations, insisting that the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden is a must-see attraction. The garden is divided into an east and a west area, with most tourists only visiting the west area. If you want a more leisurely vacation, consider staying overnight in the scenic area, where there is a Victoria Amazonica Hotel (accommodation includes a ticket).
I've been to quite a few botanical gardens, and I feel that this one and the Xiamen Botanical Garden each have their own merits (the ticket prices are also the same), with lush tropical plants and especially a number of rare species. In addition, there are unique sights such as a forest of a single tree and strangler figs, which are quite interesting to see.
For photo-taking here, I recommend a pure white dress; no need for too much embellishment, the photos will definitely turn out great.

Jingmai Mountain Hotel
In the settlements of the Blang and Dai peoples, tea is known as "La". In the Blang language, "A Bai La" means "the spirit of tea", a name that reflects the profound connection between the millennia-old culture of the Blang people on Jingmai Mountain and the fusion with Eastern aesthetics. A Bai La is nestled in the tranquil green valley of Mangjing Village on Jingmai Mountain, surrounded by ancient tea forests, providing a peaceful and harmonious haven. Here, one not only enjoys high-quality accommodation but also experiences the Blang people's distinctive stilted architecture, with each room and public area offering a 180-degree panoramic view.
The architecture of this homestay is unique, with wooden tenons supporting the structure beneath stone-tiled roofs, and interconnected corridors linking four independent villas and a central courtyard. Its layout echoes that of ancient villages. Staying at A Bai La is like returning to a warm home and stepping into a welcoming village.
The dining service follows the seasonal changes of Jingmai Mountain, using local ingredients. A variety of activities are available: hiking, tea picking, visiting, tea tasting, singing, handicraft making, and village tours, allowing you to experience the unparalleled Jingmai Mountain and the magical Blang culture for the first time.

At night, you will spend time around a Blang bonfire with music, feeling the unique melody of the bull-leg guitar. Stay at the Jingmai Mountain A Bai La Ethnic Culture Museum.

The manager of the Wanglian Hotel in Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is like this
The manager of the Wanglian Hotel in Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is like this.
Before going, I read a lot of strategies on the Internet and prepared for the hotel's "not so good". But I was quite satisfied after I arrived. The whole hotel is surrounded by plants, the entire building and corridors are full of plants, the air is very fresh, and it is very quiet at night. The room is also very tidy, and you can see the Wanglian pool when you open the window.
The biggest advantage of staying in the Wanglian Hotel is that you can take the whole Wanglian pool early in the morning, full of sleeping lotus blooming. After six o'clock in the afternoon, all tourists leave, and you can take the whole Wanglian pool again, full of Wanglian blooming! It's so beautiful! You can also participate in night tour activities. With the room card, you can enter and exit the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at any time, and go to the nearby town for meals, after all, the meals in the scenic area are not so good.
There will be small geckos and ants in the room, but they are all safe. Visit the east area on the first day, and the west area on the second day, very relaxed.
