What are the fun attractions in Xishuangbanna? What are the delicious specialties in Xishuangbanna?

Xishuangbanna is located in the southwest of Yunnan, and is also the most southwestern region of China. It is a large area of ??tropical rainforest and virgin forest landforms. The natural environment is well protected and has a good ecosystem. It is also a must-see for tourists in Yunnan. One of the places, here is a detailed introduction to Xishuangbanna’s tourist attractions and food guide.

There is a very beautiful and lovely place in Yunnan, where colorful clouds float in the sky.

Crazy Water Splashing Festival

The second semester of senior year is really a wave~~ In addition to instant noodles, beer and mahjong, I also got to know Haixiang and Dayang during my trip to Banna, which laid a solid foundation for our revolutionary friendship in the future~~

Going to Yunnan was just a whim. After walking through Lijiang and Dali, at the invitation of Ge Ge, I took the trouble to rush to Xishuangbanna to celebrate the Dai New Year. Oops ~ Thank you so much, Pigeon. It was this trip that opened a new door for me to travel many times in the future! I thought that there was a generation gap that I couldn’t bridge with Pigeon, but I didn’t expect that after this gathering, I got out of control and achieved I gained a deep understanding (I don’t know if it’s because I’m too old or she’s too young)

It takes about 20 hours of driving from Lijiang to Xishuangbanna, and I met someone in the car. To the young people (I was also very young at the time, I smiled bitterly), all kinds of eloquent people even invited me to join them when they got off the bus. Unfortunately, I had not experienced much hardship at that time and was too shy inside, so I declined them politely (I want to be like me now) "Old driver" has already taken action, but there may be conflicts).

Xishuangbanna is located at the junction of China, Laos, and Myanmar. The Mekong River meanders through here. Secretly, jade, amber, and drug smuggling may be rampant, but the climate here is warm and comfortable, with blue sky, white clouds, and green water. Permeated with the freshness of the primeval forest, exuding a strong wild charm, vigorous vitality, and a variety of delicious fruits, this place can really be called a paradise on earth. There are many tourist attractions around Banna, including Wild Elephant Valley, National Forest Park, the Great Buddha Temple, and the Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (also called the Menglun Botanical Garden). The majority of people living here are Dai people, so the buildings and clothing here are full of exotic customs.

Because Pigeon is studying in the Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the scope of this activity is mainly in the botanical garden. Menglun Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden in China. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Many of them have never been heard of. However, I am not very interested in plants. After seeing it, I can only say: hold the grass. , so beautiful! Zhicao, what is this? Zhicao, this tree is so strange!!! What I envy and yearn for is the life here. At that time, I had completely given up on the postgraduate entrance examination, but after seeing Pigeon’s postgraduate life, I actually regretted it very much. Of course, there must be heavy and hard work in school, but playing, free and bohemian life with friends is more It makes people feel itchy (I regret not studying hard). There are students from all over the world (Xiao Peng and Pigeon didn't seize the opportunity, otherwise I would have a mixed-race nephew), there is my favorite billiards room (otherwise my billiards skills would not be so bad), and most importantly There are endless flowers and plants and endless free fruits~~~ (The bananas and pineapples eaten here are the cheapest and most delicious I have ever eaten)

Jackfruit< /p>

I forgot the name. There are so many flowers and plants I have never seen before in the botanical garden

Cutting rubber

Sleep until you wake up naturally every morning , listening to the birds chirping outside the window, and then riding a bike around the botanical garden to look for ripe fruits and see if the peacocks have opened their tails. Such a day is really beautiful~~

< p>The Water Splashing Festival in Xishuangbanna is a traditional festival of the Dai people and also the New Year of the Dai calendar. Every year, the Botanical Garden organizes a team to participate in the Menglun Dragon Boat Race. Although I can't swim, I signed up for the pigeons and went along to join in the fun. The day before the game, a group of us just practiced a few times. Oh my god, we were really exhausted. We don’t know how to exert force, can’t grasp the rhythm, the dragon boat doesn’t go in a straight line, there are all kinds of problems, but we are still full of interest, the important thing is to participate, hahahaha~~

Our dragon boat is launched into the water

The team uniform I was given was made by the Botanical Garden. It was bright Chinese red with an elephant on the chest. Later, this uniform followed me to Tibet.

Although we were dressed in red and had a red spirit, our skills were too poor. The team we were competing with even let us down for a short while, but they quickly surpassed us and left us far behind. to the back.

Drink, roar

It doesn’t matter if you lose, let’s laugh together

Dragon boating, the cooperation between the team members is very important, maybe if we have more Just practice and you'll be fine (:-D). Afterwards, we all said that the reason why we lost was because some of our female players lost the advantage in terms of strength (hem). The important thing is to participate. The important thing is to participate, hehe.

After rowing the dragon boat, I made an appointment with Haixiang and the others to quickly participate in the wading activity. The food in Xishuangbanna is very interesting. Before I came here, I always thought that Banna only had fruits, but I didn’t know that there were countless delicacies here.

Pineapple rice, fried bamboo worms, lemongrass grilled fish, sour and spicy lemon-filled chicken feet (Xiao Peng’s favorite) and so on. The "Fashion Show" is just like the New Year's market here in our area. It is very lively. Everyone puts out special snacks, daily necessities, and special products to sell, and the beautiful Dai girls will wear flower beads on their heads and Dai costumes. Dress up beautifully.

Beautiful Dai girl

Special Dai barbecue

The barbecue in Banna is very famous and very good The food is also very unique. Especially the grilled fish, the small fish caught from the Lancang River are placed on lemongrass, and paired with Banna's unique dipping sauce, which is sour, sweet, spicy, and has a unique taste.

Grilled fish

After participating in the swing activity, we gathered up our energy to prepare for the following water splashing activity.

Splashing water is the highlight of this festival. We wrapped all our electronic supplies in plastic bags and rushed to the street to participate in the Water Splashing Festival (it seems that we did not bring water-splashing weapons, so we cried). The whole city is really splashing water like crazy. Officials will open tap water outlets for everyone to use. Water can be obtained everywhere on the streets. The children held water guns and small washbasins, the girls and boys held buckets, and if they were more modest, they took water bottles. Everyone splashed on each other, and some even drove a truck filled with water, driving all the way and splashing all the way~ ~The more you splash, the more blessings you will get~~~

I have a basin on my head and a water gun on my hand

What are you hiding from?

The whole city Crazy

Time flies.

Since the TV series "Debt" was broadcast on CCTV 20 years ago, the show has touched the hearts of countless ordinary people, especially those of our generation who have experienced the ups and downs of the educated youth life! When As an educated youth, I have always thought about how the educated youths in Shanghai committed crimes and wasted their years. There is a group of people whose common language is: I was an educated youth, and our generation has nothing to do with us. It is said that the career of educated youth is unforgettable for this generation. Many have now become well-known scholars and professors, and about 50% of provincial cadres have had this experience. When meeting these people, he will not tell me where he has made any achievements. He will naturally tell me where he was an educated youth. This period of time is unforgettable for us,?

The wasted years of that generation?

Most of the children's shoes born in the 80s and early 90s have seen the popular shoes at that time The 20-episode TV series "The Debt" was filmed by Shanghai TV all over the country in 1994, right? Anyone who has never watched "The Debt" has heard the song "Beautiful Xishuangbanna, I can't keep my dad, dad has a family" , Mom has a family..."?

The wasted years of that generation?

When I have the chance, I will definitely want to see everything there! (Because of the appearance Maybe it’s an occupational disease that I’ve been an educated youth for a few years, but we’re lucky enough not to have owed such a “bad debt”

)?

Beautiful Xishuangbanna?

From Kunming, the flower city in Yunnan, I took a bus all the way to Stone Forest, Dali, Lijiang, and several other cities. The ancient city culture of Dali and Lijiang, the emptiness and sacredness of Xishuangbanna, left me with A memory that will last a lifetime. ?

I will take a flight from Lijiang today and will arrive at Xishuangbanna, a paradise in China!?

I have always thought that Xishuangbanna is a place I must go to and see the educated youth there. There are places where we have stories, but today, I finally set foot on this hot red land. ?

According to information, the ancient Dai name of Xishuangbanna is "Mengbalanaxi", which means "ideal and magical paradise". The 44 ethnic groups living in this lush tropical rainforest also pursue a life ideal of "enjoying their food, enjoying their clothes, living in peace and enjoying their customs". Xishuangbanna is not only a magical land, but also a region that has given birth to a unique national forest culture. The magic lies in the fact that it is located in the remote frontier of my country, bordering Laos and Myanmar, and adjacent to Thailand, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. ?

The bus carried a few of us through the urban areas, streets, and villages of Xishuangbanna. ?

I sat by the car window. I couldn’t see any high-rise buildings here. I saw an endless green ocean with continuous ups and downs. Hidden among the lush fruit trees are the scattered Dai bamboo houses. The unique tropical scenery, rubber trees, fruit trees, banana groves, and tea mountains, is like a green fairy tale forest. The whole process is dazzling. The mountains are Cui Wei, magnificent and beautiful. Difficult to collect and manage. ?

Walking on the bluestone road, the air is a bit humid, and you can also smell the faint aroma of earth. There are various flowers and plants around, and some birds are singing gracefully. On both sides of the path, there are miserable green grass, some towering trees with lush branches, and some ancient vines entangled, blocking the sky and the sun. ?

You must go to the botanical garden here. There is a subtropical jungle, which is beautiful and pleasant. On both sides of the road, banana trees, banana groves, betel nut trees, and palm trees can be seen everywhere. Some people were wearing the costumes of Tang Monk, and several people were riding an elephant, smiling and enjoying themselves. I have only seen this scene in the TV series "Journey to the West". It seems to be the country of Tianzhu on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures.

?

In Xishuangbanna for a few days, whether it was to visit the Dai village on the China-Myanmar border in Mengla, to explore the ancient tea mountains in Menghai, to explore the activities of wild elephants in Mengyang, or to look for ancient shells in Olive Dam. Ye Jing, we are all walking through the tropical rain forest that blocks the sky and the sun. As local photographer Li Weijun told us, it is difficult to find an angle to observe and photograph the tropical rainforest panorama because the understory plants are dense and there is no "window".

We visited several villages in Xishuangbanna for a few days, and rarely heard of any young people going out to work. They were all willing to stay at home and do farm work, and would not go as far as a nearby county. Do business. The pace of life in the village is slow and even leisurely, especially during the three or four hours at noon. It is difficult to see a single person walking outside. People are drinking with relatives and friends or taking a nap at home. Dai people are also soft-spoken and do not easily quarrel with others. They are mostly content and happy. This is of course related to the fact that the Dai and Bulang people, who make up the majority of the population in Xishuangbanna, believe in Buddhism. It also reflects the "small country and few people" in Xishuangbanna, located in the southwest border, who "enjoy their food, enjoy their clothes, live in peace, and enjoy their customs" "Ideal life. This is Banna, the hometown of the golden peacock. It is like being in a beautiful landscape painting: a dense virgin forest with lush trees, tangled vines, wild elephants strolling leisurely in the forest, and peacocks and white pheasants flying freely. ; In the picturesque countryside, the shadows of phoenix-tailed bamboos are whirling, and the palm trees stand gracefully; flowers

The Dai cottages and bamboo houses surrounded by green trees, and more than 50 kinds of mouth-watering tropical fruits are too beautiful to behold. , like a dream, making people forget to leave. The multi-ethnic customs dominated by tropical rain forests and the Dai people make Xishuangbanna, a magical and unique land located in the southwest border, attracting millions of tourists from home and abroad. Xishuangbanna is a national tourist scenic spot renowned both at home and abroad. ?

Some people say that Xishuangbanna is the place where dreams begin, so let my dream start from here!?

The theme song of the TV series "Debt": Beautiful I can’t keep my father in Xishuangbanna. Shanghai is so big. Is there a home for me? My father has a family, my mother has a family, and I am left alone, which seems to be superfluous?

How many pregnant women are there? Intellectual youths with passion and lofty ambitions responded to the call of the motherland and rushed to Yunnan to support the frontiers. So in this beautiful place, they left behind their hot youth and shed their loyal blood. On this stretch of sand river and rubber forest soil, they fell in love, got married, and had the fruit of their love. ?

However, time flies by, and every ten years is a dream. The turbulent tide on the return journey pushes this group of once young and now very realistic people to the shore of the big city. They left this beautiful land. However, they gave up not only the rubber forests and coconut trees, but also their love and their flesh and blood. ?

Later, five children in the 1990s boarded a train and went to Shanghai together to find their biological parents who gave birth to them and then abandoned them. However, their father or mother re-established a family after returning to the city. , and had new children. Their arrival is undoubtedly nothing more than a time bomb for their biological parents who already have a new home?

This is a poignant story that reflects realistic themes. Before setting foot in the hot land of Xishuangbanna, I listened to this song again. ?

The lyrics say "Beautiful Xishuangbanna cannot keep my father." Its beauty and magic are an invisible attraction to me, and the romantic love story that happened in the beautiful Banna made me want to witness the intoxicating style of Banna with my own eyes. ?

It is no longer the desolate sadness of apricot blossoms, smoke and rain, and the pruning of cold plums; it is no longer the northern country with strong winds, flying sand, white mountains and black waters. It is a treasure house of nature, a green kingdom, and a shining pearl of the South. It is a place where people in Wuling are suddenly in a fairyland when they walk along the stream. It is the hometown of butterflies and peacocks in full bloom. It is the universe where chaos has just begun, and the banquet that never ends in the hot summer. ?

It is the purity of the snow-covered plateau transformed into the passing water of the Lancang River. It is the most pleasant silhouette of the ethnic customs of the Phoenix tail bamboo under the moonlight. ?

Everywhere here is full of exotic customs!?

This is such a wonderful place, a place where you can appreciate the exotic customs without leaving home. ?

This is so nice, a place where one can rest his soul. ?

Want to explore the virgin forest? Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest National Park is the best place. ?

Here, there is the Sky-Watching Tree that exudes a mysterious, ancient and sentimental atmosphere, the thrilling "Sky Corridor", the negative oxygen ion breathing area, and the trail that runs through Philip. Are there rare wild animals, first-class nationally protected plants, rare creatures on the verge of extinction, and mysterious performances among ethnic minorities?

It really feels like you are in a large forest with rich original ecology. Something raw and relaxing. ?

Walking in the forest, hearing the sound of the stream, looking at the spring rocks, and slowly experiencing the sweet sound of the water. Listening to the singing of birds is the call of the mountains and the soul. ?

The layers of forests tower into the clouds. The crystal-clear green leaves are like wine, and the fluttering green is brewing with intoxicating fragrance. Looking up, you can only see a small patch of sky. We occasionally shouted "I'm coming" to the sky, and the echoes came back and forth in the mountain stream. Occasionally we close our eyes and relax, and feel an otherworldly realm with our hearts.

?

We also discovered many strange sights here, such as plant strangulation, flowers growing on old stems, dragon tree roots, single trees forming forests, etc. It turns out that nature is so mysterious and magical, and peacocks spread their wings. , monkeys playing, humans and elephants dancing, etc., you can truly feel the kindness and beauty of the animal kingdom. ?

Come here for adventure, it can stimulate our curious and sensitive nerves. ?

Come here to enjoy nature, it is a beautiful landscape painting. ?

We went to a cottage and arrived at a farmhouse. ?

The customs here are very different from those of our ethnic minorities. The owner of each family is a woman. The woman runs the house and supports the family, and the man looks after the children and cooks. ?

Here the male is called Mao Duoli and the female is called Saoduoli. We were received by a beautiful Suoduoli. ?

Their houses are very special, they are all wooden attics. The first floor is usually used to raise livestock and poultry, or to place agricultural tools. The pillars in the attic are all rectangular, not cylindrical. What's even more strange is that these pillars are only placed on the surface of the ground and are not buried in the soil. The owner said that such a building is based on the local climate and natural conditions. There are two reasons: First, this is a mountainous area, where snakes come and go at will. It is easy for snakes to climb into the round pillars, but snakes cannot climb up the rectangular pillars. Second, the mountains here are low. If it rains heavily, water from the mountains may wash down, and floods may occur at any time. In such a wooden loft, the pillars are not buried in the ground. If a flood occurs, the entire loft will float and automatically become a small boat. We can't help but be impressed by the ingenuity of the few private investors in Xishuangbanna. Follow the stairs to the second floor. Although the room is not very luxurious, it is very clean. Simple furniture, simple tables and chairs. ?

The hostess said that his family’s conditions were among the best in the village. Here, men are hired into women's families. Girls are favored over boys. If a boy is born in a family, it is said to be a loser. If a girl is born, the whole village will hold a feast to celebrate for three days. When getting married, the man must bring a dowry, usually a rubber tree. After a woman gets married, she inherits her natal family's property. ?

What surprises me more is the way of life here, or the custom of "living in groups". Three generations can live on a big Kang. Theirs are separated by mosquito nets. If there are two daughters, the parents will have one mosquito net, the eldest daughter’s family will have one mosquito net, and the second daughter’s family will have one mosquito net. For those of us around the city, we don’t even think twice about it. Although we are curious and will not accept this way of life, we can still respect the living habits and customs of the nation from the bottom of our hearts. This is their belief and civilization. ?

Maybe we have many differences, but I still love it because I love the civilization of the Chinese nation. ?

?Dali, Lijiang and Xishuangbanna feel like they are two delicacies with different tastes. ?

Dali and Lijiang are like a gorgeous and refined beauty, she is pure and pure, cold and charming!?

And Xishuangbanna is a woman of unparalleled elegance, she is gentle and charming, The wind is clear!?

The beautiful Xishuangbanna, the enchanting blooming flowers, the melodious chirping of birds, the cascading forests, and the attic that returns to nature! Everything is beautiful in the eyes and remembered in the heart. ?

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not my hometown. No matter how nice the residence is, it is not my home. ?

Xishuangbanna, I am going back. Your mysterious richness, beauty and magic remain in my heart. ?

Goodbye, Banna, you will always be the place I yearn for!?

The rolling tropical rainforest, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and the layers of towering ancient trees. The refreshing green, the passionate beauty, the vigorous vitality, not to mention the delicious food that people can’t let go of~~·Banna, Banna, these are beautiful Xishuangbanna!
