Xishuangbanna tourism Raiders (attractions+transportation+food+precautions)

Xishuangbanna is a famous tropical rain forest climate natural scenic spot, which retains many of the most primitive forest states, and the perfect and rich natural ecosystem has been well protected. It is a very good and excellent tourist attraction. Here, I'd like to share with you an ultra-detailed strategy.

Hotel Accommodation For tourists, staying in Gaozhuang is a good choice, with good accommodation conditions and environment and high cost performance. There is a night market in the evening. If you live in Gaozhuang, it's not too far from the night market and the Shwedagon Pagoda. You can walk there. Although it is separated from Jinghong by a river, there is no inconvenience because there is a bridge as a connection.

Although the accommodation in Wanda is better, it is really too far away, and there is no public transportation, so it is inconvenient to travel.

Gaozhuang

We stayed at the Narcissus Mountain Hotel in Gaozhuang, and his home location was quite good. It was the first hotel we saw in Gaozhuang. It takes about 5 minutes to walk and 300 meters to reach the night city. But because of the distance of several hundred meters, it is quiet and won't be noisy at night. Walk for seven or eight minutes to the Jiangbei ticket office of Jinghong Bus Terminal. The hotel room is large, the facilities are good, and the dry and wet are completely separated. When we checked in, we upgraded to a room with balcony on the top floor for free. It feels a little cold! Ha ha laugh

Botanical Garden-Wang Lian Hotel

We also booked the Wang Lian Hotel in the Botanical Garden for one night. It's convenient to call the hotel directly at the gate of the botanical garden and send a battery car to pick it up.

The hotel is between Baiguoyuan and Yinsheng Botanical Garden. Our lunch and dinner will be settled in the hotel. He provided a buffet for lunch and dinner, 60 yuan/person, basically 8 hot dishes, 4 cold dishes, 1 soup, as well as Sprite Coke and 4 kinds of fruits. The staple food is only the size of rice. The taste is ok, a bit like the feeling of a canteen. Breakfast is included in the room rate, so it's free. Relatively speaking, there are more kinds of breakfast.

The advantage of living in the botanical garden is that you can take a walk in the botanical garden after dinner at night, which is very interesting. You can come and play early in the morning. A large number of tourists have not come yet. I arrived at noon on the first day and walked around the whole west area in the afternoon. Come out for a walk at night. The next morning, I bought an East District battery car in the canteen opposite the hotel. It takes about 20 minutes to drive 5 kilometers to reach the Green Stone Forest Scenic Area in the East District. There's no one. It's just chartered flight. It feels a little cool, haha.

According to the traffic guide, the nearest airport is Jinghong downtown, which can be reached in 10 minutes.

Gaozhuang is a little farther than the urban area, and it can be reached in about 20 minutes. However, most accommodation in Gaozhuang includes free shuttle, as long as the flight time is agreed with the store in advance.

Let's talk about the traffic problems of various scenic spots.

Manting Park

If you go here, I suggest you don't hire a car. Many masters will tell you that you can rent a car to Man Ting 100 yuan, but in fact, you can get it by taking Didi Express from Gaozhuang, 10 yuan. You don't need a chartered car ~

I want to give you a definite suggestion here. Ordinary taxi drivers here don't like to hit the meter. Even if they use Didi, they will change the price. I'm bored to death! After we got on the bus, we even told us that it sounded boring. If you think of anything, I'll take you somewhere else. Seeing that we insisted on going to Manchester, we asked if we would buy tickets. He can buy it. Let's return the tickets booked online. Te！ Don't! Please. Tired! ! ! After all these tricks failed, they asked us for a taxi fare from 20 yuan, saying that 20 yuan would be charged for the river! I really want to kill him with a stick! In order to avoid this problem, I suggest you go to the city or the airport and try to call the express train by Didi, so the price can't be changed ~

Wangtianshu Huaxia

In fact, I originally wanted to see the trees on the third day, because the driver of the chartered car told me that it was too expensive and uneconomical for two people to charter a car to see the trees, so I took his advice and changed it to the present situation. Generally speaking, it's a pity that we can't visit the trees, so when making the itinerary, we should try not to hire a car to avoid being fooled, and at the same time save a lot of money and words.

This year, Jinghong City opened a scenic through train for tourists, which is really good news for tourists who go together with two or three people. Because most tourists want to go to the scenic spots a little farther away, they can only charter a car, but with this through train, many problems will be solved.

Jinuo shanzhai

We went there by chartered bus, and arranged Keno Shanzhai and Primitive Forest Park on the same day. It was actually ok to go once a day for 200 yuan. However, the scenic through train can still be reached, depending on your own schedule. Keno shanzhai is about 40 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang.

Primitive forest park

This is actually very close. It's only about 10 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang. Both through train and bus can reach the scenic spot. Actually, taking a taxi is not expensive.

Menglun botanical garden

The scenic through train can also be reached. At the same time, you can also choose the bus. There is a ticket office in Jiangbei of Gaozhuang Jinghong Bus Terminal, so you can buy tickets on the spot. You don't need to take a bus to Jinghong on the spot. You can ask Gao De, who knows the ticket office. And even if you can't find it, you will see many minibuses and CMB parked there when you walk to the side of the road. You will find him.

It's a good deal to buy a train to Menglun and a ticket to 23 yuan/person. It takes about 1 hour to arrive. Tell the master to get off at the botanical garden when you get on the bus, and the master will call you when you arrive. Stop directly at the west gate of the botanical garden. There is only one stop in the middle, about three to five minutes, which doesn't take much time.

On the way back, you can also take a bus at Ximen, which will take about half an hour. However, there are several kinds of buses. Before getting on the bus, ask the master where Jinghong went. On the way back, we took the bus to Banna Bus Terminal. In fact, it is not too far from Jinghong Bus Terminal, but it is close to the airport. As soon as we arrived at the airport, we sat directly at the main station. If you want to sit in a high village or something, you can talk to the master soon and ask him to stop for you. It's all negotiable.

Tips:

Everyone should pay attention to the bus to Banna Bus Terminal. It stopped about three or four stops. Each stop takes about 5- 10 minutes, so if you want to catch a plane like me, you'd better go out early. But this car also has an advantage that it is much better than the car we took when we went. The bus we went to was like a minibus, which was rather shabby. The bus behind is CMB. The seat spacing is relatively large and spacious. Don't worry about children's shoes with luggage. These cars can put luggage, some in the back and some under, which is not a problem at all. Catering for people living in Gaozhuang, it is not difficult to eat. There is basically food and drink in the night market at night. You can experience Dai barbecue (roast pork belly, grilled fish, roast chicken, grilled fish, etc. ), wearing a salad (mashing chicken feet, mashing papaya, etc. ), as well as all kinds of fruits and freshly squeezed juice.

Dai flavor characteristics

Barbecue in Dai family, I think cabbage fish is ok. A 30 yuan, including a grilled fish, a small bowl of rice noodles, lettuce and dipping sauce, and peanuts, is quite interesting. There is also a packet of roast pork crisp bones, which tastes good. You can try. We don't like Dai flavor mixed with cold dishes very much. I wonder if the one we ate is not authentic. Anyway, I feel that all kinds of spices in my mouth are mixed and I don't like it very much.

Fruit and juice

During the days we stayed there, we bought freshly squeezed juice at the same booth, each cup 10- 15 yuan. If you go every day, the price can be negotiated the next day. I tried carambola+pear juice, which was wonderful and delicious! And pineapple+pomegranate juice, sour and sweet, very special. Coconut juice is specially selected from Thailand's fragrant coconut, which tastes particularly sweet. After drinking, you can also ask the stall owner to dig down the coconut meat and eat it. Don't be too happy, hahaha.

Fruit We bought jackfruit, eggs and fruits in two fruit shops on the roadside outside Gaozhuang accommodation area (not far from Jiangbei ticket office). I'm impressed with jackfruit. The night market is a small bowl, 10 yuan, but there are not many pieces. That small shop, now uncle is cutting, half a bag 10, still big, haha.

We had a good time. Eggs and fruits are also delicious. You can buy it and try it. It tastes like cake. Choose the soft one. It's amazing.

We went to two restaurants, one is the online celebrity store Manfeilong roast chicken. It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when I went. There is no one in the shop at all. I ordered roast chicken, pineapple rice and hand-peeled bamboo shoots. I'd like to mention here that there is no cooking in this shop. All vegetables are eaten raw, such as cucumber strips and lettuce. The roast chicken tastes good. The best food is chicken wings, oily and burnt. Pineapple rice is very fragrant, and hand-peeled bamboo shoots are very common, without special treatment.

The other is Dai Louyuan. We want to try our hand-grabbed rice and see if there is a group purchase at his house. A large portion, enough for two people. Outside are all kinds of meat, grilled fish, roast chicken, roasted pork belly, roasted ribs, roasted pigskin, cucumber strips and lettuce. Roasted pork belly is especially delicious and burnt. There is vegetable rice at the bottom and pineapple rice in the middle. The food is not too hot, it feels like a microwave oven, but the meat outside tastes good, and it's only 88 yuan if you buy it in group, which is really cost-effective. Except for rice, both of us were basically eliminated.

For many people, the most puzzling thing about scenic spot recommendation is that the scenic spots in Xishuangbanna are all gaudy and there are many scenic spots, which I simply can't understand. First, I'll give you a picture to show you the general distribution of scenic spots: (This picture was saved from the Q&A of Bee Friends, and I found it particularly clear, so I borrowed it, hee hee)

Well, let's talk about the details after we have this basic concept.

First of all, when choosing a scenic spot, first look at what kind of place you like, then avoid duplication of types, and finally, consider the distance and cost. Then, when you plan the route, refer to the above picture and arrange it together in the same direction, so the problem is not big. You can also refer to the route provided by the scenic through train to facilitate the ride. Personally, I think Man Ting Park is really good in the city.

The ticket to Man Ting Park is 54 yuan/person. The broadcast time is 2-3 hours and the opening time is 8- 17. Tickets to 54 yuan. If you buy it online, it is 49 yuan. There is no need to buy any battery car. It's not too big, it's not necessary. It's beautiful inside, and there are some performances to see. This is the schedule of the performance. You can refer to it and arrange the time reasonably. Parrot performance: 9:50, 12:00, 15:40, parrot performance field elephant performance: 10:30, 14:50, 16:30, Dai Wang is at the elephant. At the end of two o'clock, many people began to occupy seats at the meeting. At the end of two o'clock, the staff came out with four or five elephants, bathed them, refreshed them, opened the door and began to attract business to take pictures. 80 yuan was alone, and many people with children went to take photos. After half an hour of visual inspection, twenty or thirty people will take pictures. This money is earned a little fast.

The performance starts at 2: 50 sharp, during which there are some interactive projects. One of them was two workers pushing shopping carts in two supermarkets, which were full of cucumbers and bananas, and three of them were fed to elephants at the price of 10 yuan, which also caused a burst of madness, hmm! It's a long story In short, except for these crazy money-grabbing projects, everything else is quite good.

Man Ting Park Elephant Show Man Ting Park and the General Buddhist Temple are connected. Show your ticket when you return to Man Ting.

Looking at the Sky Tree Package of the General Buddhist Temple 198 yuan/person (including scenic spot tickets+one-way Nanlahe sightseeing cruise+canopy promenade/rainforest covered bridge), opening hours are 8:30- 19:00, and the playing time is 2-3 hours. Route: Take a boat from Nanla River to the dock, take Philip Trail after disembarking, then go to the air corridor, and then take the other side after disembarking.

I'm sorry, I can only give you this information, because I didn't do it, and I always feel sorry. In fact, I wanted to see the tree on the third day, because the driver of the chartered car told me that it was too expensive and uneconomical for two people to charter a car to see the tree, so I listened to him and changed it to the present situation. Generally speaking, I feel sorry that I couldn't make it, so when making the itinerary, try not to charter a car to prevent being fooled.

The following picture is also borrowed from the travel notes of bee friends for your reference.

Jinuo Shanzhai tickets 160 yuan/person, opening hours are 9:00- 18:00, and the play time is 2 hours. In fact, Keno Shanzhai is really small, but the whole management and planning are good. You can go and see it sometime. At the gate of the scenic spot, every 10 minute, 10 minute, people who buy tickets will form a small group, and the number will be counted. Because we went early in the morning, it was a little after 9 o'clock when we arrived, and there were very few people. Four people form a group, and a young resident in the stockade will show us around the stockade as a guide. This is the service included in the ticket, not the tour guide we found alone. At the gate, people wearing various ethnic costumes of Jino come to welcome you and then propose a toast. When I am happy, I drink a small glass and tilt my neck. After drinking it, I felt burned for a long time. For people who don't drink, this degree is really not low. Don't get too excited when girls hold glasses.

Note: it will be a little cold to go to Keno cottage early in the morning. Remember to bring thin coats and explain the origin and culture of Jinuo people all the way. I think it's quite interesting. After watching many small performances, I got some basic knowledge about Keno. Finally, he took us to a place to watch a performance. The little guide brought us some food, including pork slices roasted by local wax gourd pigs, corn and sweet potatoes. I feel that the four of us eat a little clean.

There are fruits to eat at the door, a pot of watermelon, a pot of pineapple and a pot of bananas. Watermelon and pineapple can be eaten at will, and bananas can only take one. Everyone who came from behind tasted it and left. Only the four of us ate there for a long time, seeking the shadow area of the little tour guide's heart, hahaha. Everyone must try pineapple. This is a local specialty, eyeless pineapple. Sour, sweet and delicious. The whole trip will take about two hours.

Opening hours of Primitive Forest Park: 7:30- 18:00, admission ticket 65 yuan, battery car 70 yuan/person, and play time is 2-3 hours.

Generally speaking, I think this scenic spot is a bit embarrassing and I don't recommend it. In the whole scenic spot, the most crowded one should be Ai Ai Village, and the beautiful one is the bridge at the gate. There is nothing in it, except that someone will take you to dance folk dances, and you can also experience bamboo dances. Be careful not to pinch your feet ~ haha

We also caught up with the national instrumental music exhibition. Here we are, just in time, just taking a look. Actually, it's nothing, but it's quite fun when the host interacts with the audience. Let's watch and play. The whole scenic spot is basically like this. I just think my 1 15 yuan is for peacocks, and nothing else is special. Let's play it all and watch the performance for 2-3 hours. It would be faster if we had a battery car.

Battery car in tropical botanical garden scenic spot: 50 yuan/person/time, round trip 100 yuan/person/time. Play time, half a day in the west and half a day in the east.

Xishuangbanna is the most lovely place. Botanical Garden is divided into two areas: East and West. Because of the time, most tourists only go to the West District. The West District is a well-planned area, which is clearly planned and divided into many different areas. You can buy your own ticket or walk like us. The tour bus stops at one stop. Old people and children can choose tourist buses. You can refer to the picture below and plan the route in advance.

The East District is a completely different style, more natural and closer to the original state. There are only two stops in the east, but I feel that I need a tour bus more than in the west, because it takes about five kilometers to get to the first stop, Green Stone Forest District, and then it takes about two or three kilometers to get to the tropical rain forest area. Therefore, although there are few stops, the distance is far, and a tour bus is needed.

It is suggested that the elderly and people with poor legs and feet should not go to the Green Stone Forest District, because they basically climb mountains. And the scenery is not very beautiful. Young people should be able to exercise if they have enough time, but they are not very tall. The tropical rain forest area is interesting and primitive, and the big roots of the green stone forest area can also be seen here. It's like the rainforest in the movie. Very interesting. I suggest going there sometime. It doesn't matter to older people. Relatively speaking, it is much smoother than the green stone forest area, and a small number of roads should not be a problem.

In fact, if Xishuangbanna really wants to buy some special products, I think fruit is the best. If possible, you can buy several boxes of pineapples and mangoes to take home. They are still very delicious.

In addition, we came across a sour croissant cake named Mao Duoli, which was delicious, and I felt it was a good choice to take it back and share it with you. It happened that it was early to leave Man Ting Park that day, so I went to Carrefour nearby. It was 29.9 yuan a pack, and I felt ok. If Xishuangbanna will stay in Kunming, you can buy it in a supermarket in Kunming, but don't go to the airport. I think the airport sells for 65,80, which is really too expensive.
