Why is Dehong not as "hot" as Xishuangbanna?

Yunnan is a province with distinctive tourism characteristics. Its characteristics lie not only in the beautiful scenery and rich ethnic customs, but also in the marketization and marketing of tourism products. What impressed me most was the clear positioning of the overall brand. Key words such as "the south of colorful clouds" and "the four seasons are like spring" have almost become synonymous with Yunnan Province and have penetrated into the hearts of people all over the country. Its beauty is also reflected in the great success of various cities in creating tourist hotspots, such as Lijiang, Dali, Xishuangbanna and Kunming. These cities have distinctive features and are all classics.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic these days, one area in Yunnan has been on the hot search list, which is Ruili. Many people compare Ruili to Xishuangbanna. In fact, Xishuangbanna is a state, and Ruili is only a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Dehong Prefecture. Dehong Prefecture and Xishuangbanna Prefecture are very similar to Yunnan, both close to the border, with similar climate and rich ethnic customs, but now one is hot and the other is unknown.

1. The climate in Dehong Prefecture is more pleasant.

Dehong and Xishuangbanna have the same rainy season and dry season all year round, with humid climate, abundant water resources, good ecological environment and fresh air. The difference is that Xishuangbanna is a tropical region, Dehong is a subtropical region, and the climate is different. Dehong is milder than Xishuangbanna in temperature and humidity. The winter temperature in Xishuangbanna is several degrees higher than that in Dehong, but the summer in Banna is obviously hotter than that in Dehong.

Climate difference cannot be measured only by annual average temperature. I analyzed the historical climate of the hottest July and the coldest 1 month in Xishuangbanna and Dehong, and the comparison results are as follows:

In the coldest January, Jinghong has a low temperature of 1 1- 15 degrees and a high temperature of 22-26 degrees. In the same period, mangshi has a low temperature of 9- 14 and a high temperature of 19-24.

In the hottest month of summer, mangshi has a low temperature of 22-23 and a high temperature of 27-3 1, Jinghong has a low temperature of 24-27 and a high temperature of 30-35.

Through data comparison, it can be seen that although the winter temperature in Xishuangbanna is several degrees higher than that in Dehong, Dehong's climate is not cold and belongs to a very comfortable temperature. In summer, Banna is much hotter than Dehong. Generally speaking, Dehong's climate is more pleasant than Banna's.

Menghai Banna is the first county of Pu 'er tea in China. It is the coolest place in Banna in summer, with high vegetation coverage, suitable for people who care for health or love tea, but not suitable for rheumatism patients to live for a long time.

Mengla is another county under the jurisdiction of Banna, which is far from Jinghong City. There is a Mohan port here. It is a good choice to develop business life in Mengla, but it is cooler than Jinghong and hotter than Menghai in summer.

The three counties of Longchuan, Yingjiang and Lianghe in Dehong are mainly agricultural, with beautiful rural scenery and comfortable climate.

Second, from the perspective of landscape, each has its own characteristics.

There are also tropical rainforests in these two states, the primitive tropical rain forest in Muli in Dehong and the largest tropical rain forest in China in Xishuangbanna. Dehong, on the west side of Gaoligong Mountain, can feel the majesty of Hengduan Mountain and the surging of Nujiang River, Daying River and Ruili River. The river in Banna is Lancang River. In terms of natural scenery, Dehong is even more magnificent.

In terms of exotic customs, both States are located in the border areas. Banna has Rhoda Port, Mengjinglai Dai Village, the first village in China and Myanmar, and Dehong has unique landscapes such as Gao Jie Zhongmian Street, Wan Ding Jiugu Bridge, one village, two countries and one hospital.

Third, there are splendid and charming ethnic customs.

The main ethnic group in these two States is Dai.

Dehong Dai people are called Han Dai and Dai Na, and Dehong is also the main settlement of Jingpo people. The famous songs "There is a Beautiful Place", "Bamboo in the Moonlight" and "China is full of jade" were all born here.

Dai people in Xishuangbanna are called Shui Dai and Dai Lu, which have a certain influence in Southeast Asia.

The Songkran Festival is held in the middle of April every year in both places. People splash holy water on each other to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and wish each other good luck and happiness.

The annual Lantern Festival is a traditional program of Dehong Jingpo people.

Fourth, the two places are equally rich in products.

Both Dehong Prefecture and Banna Prefecture are dominated by agriculture and tourism, while Dehong Prefecture is dominated by jade, which is also an important producing area of rice, sugar cane, hot fruit and natural rubber. Banna mainly produces Pu 'er tea, which is also an important producing area of coffee and tropical fruits.

Five, from the perspective of urban functions and living facilities.

Jinghong is the capital and administrative center of Xishuangbanna, with relatively developed commerce, perfect urban facilities and slow pace. Xishuangbanna People's Hospital and Xishuangbanna Dai Medical Hospital, two top three hospitals, have high living costs and high housing prices, with an average price of about 10,000.

As the capital of Dehong Prefecture, mangshi has relatively perfect urban construction, slow pace of life, richer nightlife and more leisurely life. There is a 3A hospital in Dehong People's Hospital, whose medical conditions are not as good as Banna's, but the price here is lower, with an average price of 6-7 thousand.

At present, there is no high-speed rail in both places, and the Yumo Railway and Darrouy Railway under construction are expected to open to traffic next year.

Sixth, Banna's economy is stronger and Dehong's growth is faster.

In 2020, Xishuangbanna's GDP reached 60.4 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 3.6%, ranking 12 among Yunnan 16 cities.

The GDP of Dehong Prefecture reached 57.5 billion yuan, up by 7.9%, ranking 13 in Yunnan. The economic aggregate is slightly lower than Banna, but the economic growth rate is obviously faster.

Banna's leading industries are tourism and tea, and Menghai has the title of the first tea county in China.

Dehong is one of the main distribution centers of Chinese jewelry. There are more than 2,000 jewelry enterprises and shops in Ruili alone, with nearly 10,000 employees. They come from the mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and other countries, as well as Myanmar, Pakistan, India, Nepal and other countries, all of which are crystal clear, and have gone abroad and gone to the world from here.

These two states are important ports for China's trade with Southeast Asia.

Mohan Port is connected with Mo Ding Port in Laos and is the only national first-class port in China and Laos.

Rhoda Port has been established as a provincial port since 199 1. It is an important border tourism and trade port in Yunnan Province.

Gao Jie Border Trade Zone is the first experimental zone for economic development in Yunnan Province, which integrates economy, trade and tourism. It is also the first special border trade zone in China to implement the special mode of "domestic customs clearance".

Wan Ding, known as the smallest city in China, is the window of China's foreign trade and a national first-class port like Ruili Gao Jie Port.

7. Dehong has a deep historical background, anti-Japanese war plot and nostalgic feelings.

In 69 AD, namely Yongping 12 in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ailao and Bonan counties were established in the Han Dynasty, and six counties led by a captain were appointed to the west of Yizhou County to establish Yongchang County. According to "Atlas of Chinese History", Ailao County is located in Yingjiang County today, which is the beginning of the official establishment of county governance in Dehong area by the central government, and its history is hundreds of years earlier than Banna Prefecture.

Wanding Bridge is the end of National Highway 320 and the starting point of Yunnan-Myanmar Highway.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army blocked all the maritime ports in China, and the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway became the only land passage for China to obtain international aid. This is a material distribution center. Millions of tons of military aid materials were transported to the anti-Japanese war battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces entered and exited from here.

This is a famous bridge in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 1October 20th, 1945+65438, China army drove the Japanese out of Wan Ding, and the bridge was destroyed by the war. In the same month, Bailey Steel Bridge was rebuilt.

Eight, both places have mouth-watering food.

The food in Xishuangbanna, after years of commercial improvement, is relatively more suitable for mainlanders. Grilled fish with citronella, pineapple rice, Bao Shao with Dai flavor, frozen pea powder, bamboo rice, roast chicken, fish sauce and chicken feet are all delicious foods in Banna.

When you come to Dehong, you must eat authentic Jingpo cuisine. Jingpo people like to eat Chili, and the cooking methods are mainly burning, roasting, boiling and frying, with little oil. The most representative ones are green leaf steamed stuffed bun, leek, cold salad, "ghost chicken" and hand-grabbed rice.

Dai people here also like to eat hot and sour food. The most representative foods are sprinkled pickles, lemon grass roast chicken, boiled chicken with sour bamboo shoots and boiled fish.

Ix. Advantages and disadvantages of the two countries in tourism development

Xishuangbanna is a model city of brand marketing in Yunnan.

There is a customized version, extremely mature business and tourism nanny service.

Everything that xishuangbanna tourism has experienced is specially prepared for tourists. You may not feel the truly simple Dai customs here. The pure business model makes people feel out of place with the local culture. What tourists need to do every day is to take the bus, get on and off the bus and visit the scenic spots at the designated time and place. The locals they can contact are tour guides and drivers.

Dehong lags far behind Xishuangbanna in terms of tourism facilities, resource allocation and commercial services, and the gap is not small. When you come to Jinghong and mangshi, you can also open travel platforms such as Ctrip and where to go. Whether you are looking for a homestay, a hotel or a farmhouse, Jinghong offers more things and more choices than Dehong, and because there are many businesses and strong competitiveness, the price will be more affordable.

When you come to Dehong, you will find this a pleasant town. When you stroll around the city by bike, you won't meet waves of tourists. What you see are all kinds of fruit trees, mangoes, longan, nuts, jackfruit and pipa. On both sides of the street, each street has its own characteristics.

When you walk into Dehong, look for the special food hidden in the stockade, wander around the beautiful and completely original scenic spots, and dance the national square dance with the locals in the street garden at night, you will know what the real Yunnan ethnic customs are.

Xishuangbanna, one is a tropical rain forest, and the other is an exotic place with a certain mystery. Dehong, a nostalgic place for old people in time, is an original ecological territory.

One is a charming young woman and the other is a pure girl.

The future of Dehong is worth looking forward to.

Welcome to the monsoon in Muztag. Let's go to see the world together.
