Xishuangbanna Avoidance and Recommendation Post

We stayed in Banna for 3 days, didn't go to the botanical garden, nor did we hike Mount Kino. After inquiring about the time, money, and physical preparation needed for the botanical garden, I can write a bit about it. The flowers are from the Kunming flower market. Pay attention‼️ Two days in Banna's main city and Gaozhuang are enough‼️, add one day for the botanical garden 😎Overall review😎 1. Dai princess experience: Saw many Dai and Thai princesses, very beautiful, can experience, makeup and hair cost 299-399, including makeup, hair, and clothes, probably for one day, without follow-up photography. 2. Around Gaozhuang: ① There are many Northeastern people running makeup and hair shops, Thai restaurants, clothing stores, photography, hotels, and guesthouses; ② Things are expensive, fruits, restaurants, barbecues are more expensive than Mandou Village one kilometer away, and more expensive than the main city, significantly more expensive, if time is limited, it is recommended to go to Mandou Village for barbecue, not in Gaozhuang. 3. Inside Gaozhuang: ① Homogenization is quite serious, not much different from other places' markets. ② There is a clothing store with distinctive features worth visiting, whether to buy or not is up to you, free to browse ③ Take night scene group photos, many princesses are in group photos, beautiful, need to queue. ④ There are some snacks with Banna and Yunnan characteristics, but it is not recommended to buy too much, other places are recommended below. 4. Manting Park: ① The ticket is 40 yuan, free for disability certificate holders, more like a photography base. ② There is a Dai queen script murder game, I didn't experience it, but watched their performance end, looks interesting. ③ Some tropical plants, but not as spectacular as the central botanical garden. ④ The Total Buddha Temple is in Manting Park, if you bought a ticket, no need for another ticket for the temple. 5. Botanical Garden: 60 kilometers from the main city, chartered car 400, ticket 80, tour car 90, prepare 600 yuan, all these expenses are necessary, otherwise, you will be exhausted 6. Flower Garden: Didn't go, but it's said to be better than Manting Park, there is a farmers' market nearby. It is recommended to just go to the Flower Garden, really saves time and effort, later we went to the farmers' market, good barbecue, etc. all there. ❤️Travel suggestions❤️ 1. First day: Eat popular Thai food during the day, stroll around the guesthouses and hotels near Gaozhuang, if there's enough time go to the main city for 🌟Luo Luo Ice House, delicious, like fish and Zuan vegetables; if you don't want to bother, just stroll around Gaozhuang in the afternoon, go to the neighboring 🌟Mandou Village for Meng Dai specialty cold dishes; at night, wear your own clothes to check in at Gaozhuang night market, eat barbecue in Mandou Village. 2. Second day: Get Dai makeup√ Thai makeup√ etc. in Gaozhuang, head to the Flower Garden, take photos, after that go to the surrounding area for iced coffee and barbecue, visit the farmers' market. 🌟Barbecue: Recommend Longting Barbecue Snack Shop 🌟Iced Coffee: Dai Le Coffee 🌟Farmers' Market: Jinghong Farmers' Market, focus on eating fruits, still normal prices, there's a shop selling freshly cut pineapple, super delicious, fresh. 🌟Dai Flavor: Recommend Dai Chan Dehong Private Kitchen. 3. Third day: Can visit 🌟fruit market, very worthwhile, then go home. Or the third day just go to the botanical garden Many shops in Banna take a noon break, but cold dish shops/ice house shops do not, pay attention to the time, use electric bikes to get around the main city, convenient.
