Don't want to shiver in the cold winter nights of the north? 🥶 Why not spend a warm winter in Xishuangbanna, southern Yunnan? - ‼️ Here's a 3-day itinerary Save it 🌟 now 🌟 and share it with your friends. It's simple and clear. Just follow my itinerary~ - 🎡｜My 3-day itinerary: Day ①: Arrive in Banna - Starlight Night Market - 🏨 Stay near Gaozhuang Day ②: Take photos at Gaozhuang Golden Pagoda during the day - Manting Park - Zongfo Temple - Mengpeng Road - Water-Splashing Square - Dai cuisine Day ③: Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden - Lancang River night view - 📷｜Some photo-taking and travel tips: ✅ Compared to the crowded Starlight Night Market at night, I prefer Gaozhuang during the day. It's almost empty, so you can take photos as you like. ✅ For travel photos at popular attractions, I suggest you choose a good spot and line up directly. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for a long time. ✅ The botanical garden is far from Jinghong, and it takes about a whole day to visit. You can take a round-trip bus. ✅ The city across the river from the Starlight Night Market has several night markets where you can enjoy local food like grilled fish and shrimp at a much lower price.

Go all the way west to Yunnan, and go to Xishuangbanna to experience the different exotic customs of the Six Nations Night Market. Xishuangbanna, the largest starlight night market in Asia, is amazingly lively and bustling at night! You can experience exotic customs without going abroad. When the lanterns come on, the Starlight Night Market is located next to the Lancang River. The night market is decorated with lanterns and is full of lights and crowds. It is indeed refreshing and its bright appearance is indeed different from all the night markets I have seen in the past. Today it has become a world-class tropical rainforest leisure center, a Dai cultural experience center in the Mekong River Basin, an international tourism distribution center in the Lancang-Mekong River Golden Triangle, and an international water recreation center in the Mekong River. Therefore, it is true to say that if you have not come to Gaozhuang Xingguang Night Market, you have never been to Xishuangbanna.

Starlight night market in Xishuangbanna is one of the most amazing, craziest night markets in China. It was complete culture shock on the first night we went. The roads were packed with bikes, cars and people. One could hardly move 😂. The streets were lined with food vendors and little shops. The fragrant smell of Chinese food filled the market as each vendor sold a different traditional dish. Many people come here to get dressed up in traditional Dai clothing and take pictures all around the market. Due to the climate in xishuangbanna one can visit this market all year round. This is a must see at least once. It’s honestly a whole vibe to itself #passionpassport #urbanexplorer

The Starlight Night Market in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna in southwest China's Yunnan Province, is the best place to catch a glimpse of local people's lives if you travel to Xishuangbanna. The market lies along the Lancang-Mekong River, featuring local food and creative handicrafts by the young. Most of the stalls are festooned with colorful oiled paper umbrellas, which evoke a feeling of being in Southeast Asia. It is also a Douyin influencers heaven with endless salons, dress hire and even a vloggers hotel, which takes away from the culture aspect and is quite annoying. #culturalattractions

The long line at the entrance almost made me want to leave, but I remembered the feast waiting for me inside, so the 10-minute wait was nothing! Once inside, I was in foodie heaven! Food from all over the country, Yunnan's famous rice noodles, sizzling barbecue, and mango sticky rice... I couldn't get enough! The portions were generous, and I was completely satisfied! Tired of eating? Don't worry, there are all kinds of performances at the night market! Dai dances, modern music, every show was amazing, and I was completely immersed in the fun atmosphere! Walking through the crowd, I felt like I was part of the starlight! Tip: Arrive around 7 pm, when the lights are just coming on, for the best photos! Remember to wear comfortable shoes, because the night market is huge, and it takes a long time to walk through it!

The Starlight Night Market in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, covers a total area of 530,000 square meters, with an effective tour area of 90,000 square meters. The night market area has nearly 3,000 light entrepreneurial stalls and shops, and nearly 300 shops on the pedestrian streets in the core areas. As a large Southeast Asian-style leisure shopping street built by Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, the Mekong Starlight Night Market covers comprehensive service functions such as tourism shopping, brand catering, folk activities, cultural experiences, Southeast Asian snacks, experiential entertainment, and film and television culture. When night falls and the lights come on, the night market is dazzling and charming when viewed from the Golden Pagoda. Colorful oil-paper umbrellas, starlit Thai lanterns, a dazzling array of goods, mouth-watering food, cheerful and pleasant music, and the hustle and bustle of the world all converge here. The rising "smoke and fire" lights up the city's "night economy" and becomes a "new engine" driving consumption. There are more than ten performance venues in the night market, with regular night performances such as night tours, stage shows, and bonfire parties every day. It is also one of the venues for the Lancang-Mekong River Basin National Culture and Art Festival, Spring Festival series activities, and Water Splashing Festival series activities. Nearly 30 large and small folk activities with unique characteristics, such as float parades, water lantern festivals, and lemon music festivals, are held every year. The content of the activities changes the single mode of traditional cultural dissemination, integrating elements of Yunnan's multi-ethnic groups and Xishuangbanna's intangible cultural heritage, allowing tourists to fully experience the connotation of folk festival culture from "watching" to "experiencing." In addition, the Mekong Starlight Night Market actively cooperates with relevant state (city) departments to carry out offline consumption promotion and market stabilization activities. It has successfully held activities such as the online display of Chinese city images at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Xishuangbanna Tropical Fruit Festival, the Durian Festival, the Pomelo Festival, the Dai Le Culture Festival, the Xishuangbanna Specialty Products Fair, and the Starlight Travel Photography Competition.

The beauty of life is not in its splendor, but in its peace.|||The stars shine at night, and freedom is in the wind! The Xishuangbanna Starlight Night Market is a beautiful place. Look up to see the solemn gods, look down to see the bustling crowd. The night is long here, and the market is open until 2 am.

Jingmai Mountain, a borderland secret place listed as a World Heritage Site! If you are used to the hustle and bustle of the city and want to find a place with fewer people to experience local customs and have a slow-paced trip, you must not miss this place! Next, I will share my experience of traveling to Jingmai Mountain. We first landed in Xishuangbanna, stayed there for one night, and went to a famous local night market! It is full of Dai-style food, and I personally recommend the Dai-style hand-grabbed rice that children love! Various colorful glutinous rice and snacks are delicious and beautiful. After dinner, we also took a set of special Dai-style photos, which were really beautiful! Then we went from Xishuangbanna to Puer and went to the panda manor that the children had been thinking about. My baby and the panda had a great time in the manor. In the evening, we also participated in the manor night tour. Under the guidance of the tour guide, we explained the knowledge of animals and plants to the children in a vivid and interesting way, and even we "big children" learned a lot! On the morning of the third day when we went to Jingmai Mountain, we were lucky enough to catch the beautiful sunrise and sea of clouds at the Golden Pagoda of Jingmai Mountain! There was no obstruction around, and in front of us was the golden sea of clouds and sunrise within reach! The residents of the ancient village were very enthusiastic. You could see tea everywhere when you walked into any house. The villagers would also enthusiastically ask you to drink a cup of hot tea, and chat with the locals to keep warm. It felt like the fatigue of going to work and taking care of the children was all gone! Day 1. From all over the country to Xishuangbanna Day 2. Banna - Coffee Manor - Sun River Forest Park Day 3. Jingmai Mountain - Dapingzhang Ancient Tea Forest - Wengji Ancient Village Day 4. Nuogan Ancient Village - King Bee Tree - Intangible Cultural Heritage Roasted Tea Experience Day 5. Sunrise and sea of clouds - Single Tree Forest - Nannuo Mountain - Jinghong Day 6. Drop off according to the flight - Return About Puer's food Puer's local food is mostly based on the flavors of the Dai and Brown ethnic groups. The Dai ethnic group prefers sour and spicy flavors, while the Brown ethnic group prefers spicy flavors. Friends who like spicy food must not miss it! They are basically local home-cooked dishes, and you can taste the special ethnic minority food!
