Xishuangbanna self-help tour, what scenic spots must be visited, and what should be paid attention to?

Climate: Xishuangbanna has a subtropical climate, and the whole year is divided into rainy season and dry season. Wet and rainy, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the daytime is extremely hot. Locals seldom go out during the day, and only come out to exercise when the weather is cold at night. It often rains in the local area, usually thunderstorms, so umbrellas are necessary. I went in late April and early May. It can reach about 38 degrees during the day, and the sunshine is very strong, just like a natural sauna. The best travel time is from 10 to May of the following year.

Transportation: From Kunming to Banna, you can choose to take a car or plane. There are many flights from Kunming to Banna every day, and there will be more flights during the Golden Week. Tickets in 520 yuan can be up to 60% off. In addition, there are flights to Jinghong in many places. If you choose to go by car, you will suffer a little, because the road from Simao to Jinghong is not easy and there are often traffic jams. I've been stuck there for 12 hours. I heard that the expressway is already under construction. If you are lucky and there is no traffic jam, the journey 12 hours. All luxury sleeping cars departing from Kunming Nanyao Bus Terminal are clean and comfortable, and the fare is about 175 yuan.

Although there are only three buses in Jinghong, taxis are very cheap. In the city, you don't look at 5 yuan, but local drivers have a little trouble driving and often make dangerous moves. Cars from Jinghong to various scenic spots are easy to find, and there are shuttle buses to the passenger station or the south station of the tire factory.

Clothes: Be sure to bring cool T-shirts and shorts, preferably a thin coat, because it will be a little cold sooner or later, and slippers must be ready. When I get there, I basically wear slippers every day, and sports shoes are absolutely unbearable. Needless to say, umbrellas must not be forgotten, and it is best to have sun protection. Mosquito repellent, sunscreen and heatstroke prevention drugs (such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Capsule) are all indispensable.

Gourmet: Speaking of the delicious food in Xishuangbanna, I am very excited at once. Dai flavor is mainly glutinous rice, sour, barbecue, aquatic products, hot and sour, very distinctive, making people's index fingers move.

There are too many famous Dai restaurants in Jinghong, so I won't list them one by one. It is worth mentioning that we stumbled upon a small restaurant with good quality and low price, which is in an alley next to Man Ting Park, opposite to a martial arts school called "Daiweiju". The price is very low, but everything is well done, especially Xiaomi spicy fried beef, glutinous rice spicy crab, lemon bean jelly, sour bamboo shoots boiled fish. The best is crispy dry rice, which is the best I have ever eaten.

The barbecue industry in Xishuangbanna is very developed. Of course, the most famous is Golden Beach, where you can enjoy the barbecue of ten thousand people, and Damanyao is also famous. However, after my comparison, I think Sanweilou is the best, which is highly recommended by my friends. It's right next to the tourist hotel. The environment is average, but it tastes great. Eating for four people is about 100 yuan. I strongly recommend pineapple purple rice, roast beef, roast pork noodles, roast chicken feet and tendons, roast dried chicken, roast chicken, grilled fish with citronella, grilled ribs with citronella, fried cowhide (I swallowed a mouthful of water here), and a glass of cold beer with ice cubes, which makes me feel refreshed.

The cold drinks in Xishuangbanna are close to the taste of Myanmar. It is recommended to have a taste when enjoying the cool in the afternoon. The Myanmar cold drink shop on Lu Jindong Street is not bad. Paoluda is my favorite, and sleeping in Indian coconut is also good.

Jinghong has several famous Thai restaurants, such as Jeames Restaurant, Meimei Coffee Restaurant and Mekong River Restaurant. There are many foreigners because they are recommended in many professional travel books. Personally, I feel that the taste is average and I am in a good mood.

The most distinctive feature of Banna is sour bamboo shoots, but many people think it stinks. I didn't like it at first, but I suddenly liked the smell after I went there. I recommend boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots and fried shredded potatoes with sour bamboo shoots.

Tropical fruits are also very attractive, especially the pineapple in Olive Dam, which is rich in sweet juice, so steamed pineapple rice is also delicious. Green mangoes sold in Jinghong Street are mixed with peppers, and the smell of mangoes is overflowing. One dollar can buy a big bag. Recommend friends who like to eat sour to try it.

Live broadcast:

Xishuangbanna is the first scenic spot developed in Yunnan. There are many hotels, and few people go now, so it is easy to find a place to live, but the house price will skyrocket during the Golden Week and the Songkran Festival. I heard that the "sightseeing hotel" in the city is not bad. I chose a guest house of a certain unit, the standard is 80, and the environment is OK. Be sure to choose an air-conditioned house, otherwise it will be too hot to sleep before 12 pm. You can stay in a private hotel in Menglun, which is very clean and has a lot of space, and the price is similar to Jinghong.

Ok:

There are many scenic spots in Xishuangbanna, but most people don't choose places that are too far away, especially because of time and traffic, but those places are classic places, such as the Manfeilong Tower in Mengla and the Sky Corridor in Wangtianshu.

There is no need to go to Rhoda. The border area is a mess, and there is nothing to see. Keno shanzhai is so poor that ordinary tourists may not be interested. Still followed the crowd to some popular attractions. It is worth mentioning that if I have a student ID card, I must carry it with me. All scenic spots can be discounted. I used an expired student ID card, and no one saw the flaw.

Man Ting Park: It's in Jinghong City. I felt cheated after I went there. Tickets to 30 yuan. There is a regular splashing time, but tourists are not enthusiastic and stay away from it. There is nothing to see in the park. You can visit it in an hour or two. A Jinuo stockade will draw tourists in to watch the performance and taste glutinous rice wine. At first, it said it was free. Later, it would drag male tourists into the room to ask for money. If they don't, they will not only turn against each other, but also get their wallets back. Remember not to be fooled.

Olive Dam: You can get to the Olive Dam by bus from Jinghong to 7 yuan. The only scenic spot is the Dai village, and the ticket is 50 yuan. You will feel cheated when you first enter, because the villages are dilapidated, so it will be interesting to visit them later. There will be a performance at 3pm, and then a large-scale water splashing activity will be held in the square, which is much bigger than Man Ting Park. Hundreds of people crowded together and splashed water wildly. If you don't want to join, please protect your camera, DV and other valuables to prevent sneak attack, because people have lost their minds. There are several bamboo houses in the stockade, and the Dai food is delicious, but the price is also relatively expensive.

Tropical Botanical Garden: You can take a bus from Olive Dam to Menglun, and there will be no bus after 6 o'clock. Tropical Botanical Garden is in downtown Menglun, and you can walk there. Tickets to 60 yuan, feel very worthwhile, can play all day, the scenery is good, if you have time, you can avoid the tourist peak and stroll slowly.

Wild Elephant Valley: Primitive Forest Park, Tropical Garden and Wild Elephant Valley are all on the same route. Since I have been to the tropical botanical garden in Menglun, I don't plan to see plants any more. You can take a bus from Simao or Kunming to Wild Elephant Valley, and the roadside is easy to find. Tickets have risen to 60 yuan. Of course, you can use your student ID card for half price. If you don't take the cable car, it will be very troublesome to take the bus to the back door when you get out of the gate. You can stay in the tree hotel in the valley if you have time, but the conditions are poor and expensive. You can see wild elephants at night. Stop playing.

Experience: going to Xishuangbanna is the second, and eating is the first enjoyment. It is inevitable that the conditions in the border areas are not good, and you can understand the mystery without being picky.
