Everyone says the West Garden is more worth visiting, but I prefer the East Garden, which is very photogenic. The tour guide Xiao Xiao was super patient and took care of everyone in the group. Although we were the only two people who went to the East Garden, he carefully introduced each plant and answered every question. The experience was great.
Dongyuan is worth a visit!!! You must hire a tour guide!!! Sister Hongdou's explanation is super patient and detailed!! It is definitely the most worthwhile attraction in Banna! She was always explaining for the entire 5 hours!!!

It is a park worth visiting. The tour route is: Peacock Release (wonderful) - Aini Village (Hani folk display, wishing bridge, folding wall and tile peeling, bamboo pole dance, folk dance) - Dahaipo - Monkey Park (close observation and feeding) - original tropical rainforest plank road. It is recommended to walk 8 kilometers round trip, which takes 3 hours. Children as young as 10 years old also find it playable and informative. The ticket price for two adults and one child is a little over 100 yuan, which is cost-effective. If you are not physically strong, you can buy transportation to the scenic area, which is about 40 yuan one way (average cost-effectiveness).
I didn't expect the canopy walk to be a separate fee, which was a bit pricey. However, it was still nice. 120 yuan was too much, 60 yuan per person would have been more appropriate. The photos I took weren't particularly special, but the aerial photography was okay, but it cost 90 yuan.

Mengyuan Wonderland is so fun! Especially the cave exploration! Highly recommended! You must come! Don't think it's far, it's worth it! The staff here are mostly young, enthusiastic and friendly~
Because we rented a car and drove to Wangtianshu, we drove all the way back to Xishuangbanna. Mengyuan Wonderland is between Wangtianshu and Banna. After playing, we drove to the Tropical Botanical Garden to stay overnight. That night, we also participated in the night tour of the botanical garden. In addition to rainforest hiking, Mengyuan Wonderland also has cave exploration projects, but we didn't have enough time to experience the caves. Most of the rainforest hiking is not difficult to walk. These mountain roads are not rare for the South China F3 who worships Taigong during Qingming Festival. Playing on a swing is quite novel, and the lunch is also quite interesting. It tastes better than what we ate in a restaurant outside later.

It was off-season when we came here, and the weather was not too hot. The rafting experience was great, and we quickly learned how to operate it. Because I brought two children with me, one of the children was helped by the staff to raft, and they were very attentive and considerate. I was especially lucky to see wild elephants during the rafting, which saved the cost of looking for wild elephants. Although we didn't finish the last leg because of the wild elephants (in fact, the children were also quite tired), we all felt it was worth it! It was very sunny, so you must wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Be careful not to capsize, but you will definitely get your pants wet. If you are careful, you don't need to change clothes. I just spilled a few drops of water.
I took a taxi from the train station to attend the Manlongle Market. It is customary to open for several days during the Chinese New Year. There are RV areas and villa areas. I took a look at Paya. It is about 700 yuan during the Chinese New Year, and 400 yuan per night after the New Year. There are still many houses under construction. I played zipline for 30 yuan round trip and rowing for 130 yuan per person. I didn't go because it was cold. The chicken wings at the base camp bar are quite delicious. The consumption is 30 yuan. You need to slow down and enjoy life here.
