More than 90,000 species records are open to the world! Located in southern Yunnan, this place is known as the "kingdom of animals and plants" and the "Chinese biological gene bank". If you come to Xishuangbanna for tourism, it is especially recommended to check in here!
1. It costs about 100 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the Botanical Garden of China Science Park, which is more than 50 kilometers. I feel that the taxi fare is more expensive than other cities.
2. You can let your children experience making royal water lilies. Some people say that it is 3D printed. I saw the staff lifting the royal water lilies, which should be more real.
3. It was a special place to take shelter from the rain by the lotus pond during intermittent heavy rain. The rain stopped quickly. After the rain, the road was foggy and it was really a sauna room.

Today is cloudy, the light is soft, the karst theater is covered with gray clouds, and the mist has dyed the jagged peaks into ink paintings. There is less directness of the sun, and more implicit layers - the folds of limestone show the texture of wool felt in the diffuse light, and the sword-shaped rock pillars pierce the low-hanging cloud tent, like the Morse code sent by the earth to the sky. The gloomy sky makes the ochre color of the red soil path more intense, and the embroidered belt of the Yi girl jumps out like a flame against the gray background. At this time, the camera can capture the hardness of the stone forest and the softness of the clouds at the same time, just like God slowly swinging the photographic paper in the developer.
The scenic area as a whole looks very clean and hygienic. It is recommended that you go there by yourself instead of joining a tour group. You can walk slowly into the depths of the stone forest and the periphery to have fun. Joining a tour group will only give you a quick tour.

Come to Xishuangbanna still have to come and see, after all, there are local characteristics. Many girls bring photography to take pictures, magnificent and ethnic characteristics, very popular. If the weather is not hot, slowly stroll, and it will be better to experience it with heart.
Manting Park is very close to the airport and can be used as a return adjustment itinerary. There are oyster-style buildings, tropical plants, elephant peacocks, which is the epitome of various attractions in Xishuangbanna. Manting Park is next to the General Buddha Temple, and the exotic style is also particularly obvious and worth seeing.

The only wild elephant base in the country, people who love animals can't miss it! 🐘 Greedy, love beauty, naughty, many characteristics like me, one does not fall. Lunch, long table elephant meal, good-looking and delicious, too satisfying my elephant stomach. You can reserve an hour to enjoy slowly, it is memorable. The elephants here are all at ease, like humans enjoying the heavens after retirement, and are also the result of wild elephant conservation efforts in China and abroad. Looking back, Prince William's first visit to China ten years ago; the long march story of the short-nosed elephant family left a few years ago, which touched the hearts of people around the world; it has been seen.
🎉 Xishuangbanna Wild Elephant Valley is a unique natural journey. As soon as you enter the scenic spot, the dense tropical rain forest makes people feel like they are in a green fairyland, and the fresh air is refreshing. At the Asian Elephant Museum, you can deeply understand the evolutionary history and life habits of elephants and grow a lot of knowledge. If you are lucky, walking on the high-altitude elephant plank road, you may be able to see the spectacular scene of elephants strolling in the forest and drinking water by the river. However, although the elephant performance is wonderful, it is also complicated. Watching the trained elephants is inevitably sad for their situation. Moreover, there are many tourists in the scenic spot, which will affect the play experience during peak hours. Overall, Wild Elephant Valley is a place that can make people close to nature and feel the charm of nature, but there is room for improvement in animal protection and tourist management. It is worth a visit, but it is necessary to plan the itinerary reasonably and adjust the mentality.

The most relaxed way to go up to the West Mountain, the speed is also very fast, the sitting is also very stable, the view is also good, get off the cable car and go directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. Still more recommended
Taking the Kunming Dianchi Cableway is an unforgettable experience. First of all, the design of the cableway is very modern and colorful, leaving a deep impression. During the ride, the view is wide and you can see the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, especially at sunset, the scenery is even more beautiful. Meanwhile, the cableway runs very smoothly, making people feel comfortable and safe. Overall, the Dianchi Cableway in Kunming not only provides a great sightseeing experience, but also ensures the safety and comfort of passengers. This is definitely a recommended choice for those who like high-altitude sightseeing.

There are all kinds of ethnic minority buildings. You don't need to go to other places. You can feel the customs of various ethnic minorities in Yunnan in Kunming. There are also regular performances that are worth watching. The Dai performance is the most recommended. The girls are very beautiful. It is a great experience
A very pleasant surprise. The guide's explanation was very interesting. The scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious, and it was very comfortable to drink tea and chat. Yunnan has 26 permanent ethnic groups. The languages, clothing, housing and beliefs of the ethnic minorities are different, but they live in harmony with the geographical environment.

Oriental rhyme castle, red brick, romantic fairy tale. The first time I came to Maitreya, I felt the customs here, warm and hospitable, simple and kind, delicious food, and high cost performance. If you like to take pictures like me, you will definitely not regret going to Dongfang Yun to take pictures. If you want to take pictures very well, you can ask for a follow-up. I saw the work of photographer A Feng through Xiaohongshu. I am very satisfied with the private letter to him to understand the price of the photo. Then he was live broadcast in the scenic spot and we connected. Through communication, we confirmed the photo time and paid a deposit. At the agreed time, I arrived at the scenic spot. After we met and communicated, he was very satisfied with me and took the picture. I wanted the feeling, good service, and the whole process was super patient. There is no routine, people are sincere and kind, and the photo technology is also very good. Next time I come to Maitreya, I will definitely ask him to take a group of other style travel shots. If there is a little sister who wants to take pictures and commemorate, you can find him, absolutely satisfied, cost-effective
The most surprising thing is that it is full of art: installation exhibitions in the gallery, graffiti walls in the alleys, and even the seats on the roadside are like artworks. Whether it is punching in and taking pictures with your girlfriends or taking your family to stroll and relax, you can be cured by the beautiful intertwined nature and art to the east, and you know that there is really a place to live your days into oil paintings.

The scenic spot takes a sightseeing bus to enter and exit, and the sightseeing bus has to be charged separately. There is nothing special. The most impressive thing is that the little monkeys standing on the bamboo raft waiting to eat are waiting. The peacocks are not seen, and the others are nothing. Suitable for couples, don't go with the elderly, it's not interesting.
Shuangbanna virgin forest park is very large, there are many vegetation inside, many are not seen, the most impressive is Wang Lian, there are people sightseeing cars all the way down, the air here is really good, it is a natural oxygen bar

**After the Yi Garden tour** The water splashing carnival and Yi style of the Yi Garden are so surprising!

The most worthwhile attraction in Xishuangbanna. I took the children to river tracing, climbing, looking for crabs and mushrooms. It was very enjoyable. I also learned a lot of knowledge from the little brother of the Jino ethnic group. I had a lot of fun. At the end of the trip, I also received a certificate of honor. The children were very happy.
My favorite and most worthwhile trip to Xishuangbanna! We chose a 4-kilometer hike. At first, we were worried that it would be dangerous if it rained, but our tour guide, Sister Zheng, was very professional, patient and responsible. She helped us walk along the mountain road and explained a lot of plant knowledge to us. She was very nice and handsome. We experienced various activities such as swinging on a high swing, climbing trees, and shooting crossbows. It was a very unforgettable experience.
