Xishuangbanna Tourism Introduction (Food and Accommodation)

Xishuangbanna is an extremely beautiful scenic spot in China. It is full of beautiful elements. You will experience different passion and exciting experiences here, which is a beautiful example. Everything is under your nose. Here is a detailed introduction to Xishuangbanna tourism.

From Chengdu to Xishuangbanna via Zhaotong.

On the way, I saw the karst landform for the first time. There are mountains and hills, and the sloping soil is priceless, like the wind blowing into the sea.

It is completely different from the desolate impression in geography textbooks. It is a corrugated fold in the earth. On the plateau at an altitude of 1,800 meters, it looks like an old man who has gone through many changes.

The rainforest climate is hot and humid all year round. The temperature in April is 37 degrees, which is almost the same as Chengdu in August.

It often rains suddenly at noon, and then suddenly stops, and the scorching sun emerges from the clouds, like a child laughing through tears. Xishuangbanna is located on the border with Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Its folk customs are complex, its products are rich, and its cultures are blended. Similar to ancient border trade places. On the road, I hear Chinese at this moment, and someone is walking by in Thai at the next second; fruits from Laos are still being sold on this street, and when I turn around, I will meet a merchant selling Burmese jade.

The way of eating and drinking can be described as the four countries contending. Even if there is no recommendation from an acquaintance, you can still eat authentic Dai cuisine, Thai food, Burmese food, and Laos food. Go to the top restaurants recommended by Dianping and you won’t be disappointed. Dai food is spicy, Laos food likes lemon, Thai food is neutral, and Burmese food is weird.

Dai New Year: Dragon Boat Festival, Buddha Washing Day, Swinging Festival, Water Splashing Festival.

In Xishuangbanna in April, everyone is preparing for the Spring Festival. The boy cleans the dragon boat and the girl prepares new clothes.

For about ten years, my understanding of the Chinese New Year was only in shopping malls, dinner tables, and Spring Festival Gala.

Cultural apathy occurs quietly and continues to affect us. Many times, many cultures and many inheritances require a sense of ritual. Before, I didn't understand why the emperor always prayed to heaven, meditated in seclusion, worshiped Confucius, and did some big and meaningless things. It is best to recuperate and develop the economy.

However, it was these seemingly futile rituals that changed war and civilization for thousands of years, leaving behind a foundation called Confucianism.

In fact, girls wearing Dai costumes can be seen everywhere on Banna Road. They have dark skin, clear eyes, and a reserved look that can catch up with each other. Only then did I realize that there are also Dai costumes here, which are obviously wedding clothes.

Girls from the village, who usually "hide" together, come out in droves, looking graceful and beautiful, vying for beauty.

The Dai people are similar to Hanfu, simple and complex, worn in daily life and during celebrations. Their process changes, streamlined workmanship, and material selection are completely different. Going further, there will naturally be a complete set of national costume culture.

The Dai people’s New Year may be a feast of clothing culture. Its beauty, magnificence, richness and exquisiteness are no less than a grand show at Victoria’s Secret in Xishuangbanna.

Nader delicacies

are divided into fruits and vegetables. Let’s talk about fruits first. Banna's fruit must be among the best in the country. There are almost all kinds of options. There are many fruit markets that are warehouse-managed, where you can choose by yourself, accept large orders, and also sell ready-to-eat finished products cut into boxes.

In particular, durian, dragon fruit, cantaloupe, and pineapple are plump, sweet, rich, juicy, and cheap in season, with an average price of a few yuan per pound. You can eat a variety of fruits and mix them together until you are full.

As for the dishes, because I am on a business trip, takeout is my first choice, and word-of-mouth evaluation relies on Dianping.

I ordered the popularly recommended chicken oil rice, lemon salsa, and paluda. They are mellow, sweet and sour, and rich. From the ingredients to the seasonings, there is a natural plant fragrance, which is different from the direction that the eight major cuisines rely on. They run counter to the beauty emphasized by the Central Plains food culture, but they have achieved another category of delicious food.

You don’t even have to figure out whether these dishes are from Dai, Laos or Thailand, and you don’t have to deliberately define their taste

Because of the hot weather, Banna people’s day often starts at 10 p.m. Click Start. With the Lancang River as the boundary, it is divided into north and south banks, old and new cities. The north bank is the Jinghong commercial district, and the south bank is the emerging living area with different forms of nightlife, including ghost restaurants, nightclubs, bars, and KTV. At two or three o'clock in the morning, the streets were still bustling with people, the shops were brightly lit, there was an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians, and high-pitched singing came from the other side of the Lancang River. Fan Ju of the Northern and Southern Dynasties said: Life is like a tree or a flower, scattered with the wind, or falling on the mat; or closing the fence and falling into the soil.

Sometimes if you are too accustomed to this world, addicted to life, content with the status quo, and do not think about life and death, you will not be surprised by the world.

You know that all things are pale and difficult to grasp, such as morning dew, sunset and stars.

You have once walked through such a sexy and special city, and wrote its name on the western continent where the south wind blows your dreams.

I have been thinking about it for a long time and want to write a sentence as the end of my travel notes in Banna.

By chance, I read Premier Zhou Enlai’s sweet words to his wife Deng in a book:

“I have been an unswerving materialist all my life. Only you are , I hope there will be an afterlife”

I am also looking forward to the next period of time.
