The whole scenery is very good, the West District is very beautiful, the East District is very virgin forest tour guide is really good, the whole process is not stopped to explain, there is no tour guide, the whole trip feels at least half down, because it is trees and flowers, you need professionals to ramp these flowers and plants.
When you come to Xishuangbanna, you always have to go to the Chinese Botanical Garden. It is very good. During the Chinese New Year, many people will reduce the experience. But I have a heart to prepare, so I am satisfied all day. The children have increased their knowledge. Yes, it is recommended for parent-child travel.

During the holiday, I brought my family to Banna. Manting Garden is the preferred attraction. The building in the park is magnificent, tree-lined and flowers bloom. It’s so beautiful to take pictures in ethnic costumes.
The Royal Garden has a wide space, rich scenery, and outstanding ethnic characteristics. It is worth visiting. During the period, a small boat was packaged for 200 yuan. The surprise is that you can drive yourself as a captain. Haha, in addition to the black swan and a group of fish of different kinds can be fed, and there are some animals that don’t know.

It is worth going, the scenery is beautiful, go to the stone forest on the paper. It is a bit far from the city, and the road time is relatively long, which is a challenge for tourists with children. But these can be overcome. You must go to Shilin when you come to Kunming.
There are many stairs in the Big Stone Forest. There are many gaps between the stones. It is especially suitable for people of all ages who like to lose weight or play hide-and-seek. The Small Stone Forest has beautiful scenery. The most fun thing in the scenic area is to take a battery car from the Big Stone Forest to the Small Stone Forest.

I went there before 15th and saw wild elephants. I didn't see any wild elephants when I went there with my children. The plank road is elevated, but it's ok to hike in the rainforest. The children walked up and then took the cable car down. There were too many people to squeeze in when I went there on 5.1!
My favorite attraction during the trip to Xishuangbanna was the Wild Elephant Valley! The environment was beautiful and very pristine. The elephant performances were particularly shocking. The hiking trail was like a paradise on earth, making people linger. I also saw wild elephants here. Although the distance was far and I couldn't see them clearly when taking pictures, they have been engraved in my mind. It was great!

It is worth a visit. The view from the sky is magnificent. Haigeng Park is full of tourists. Blue sky and white clouds, red houses and green trees, mountains, rivers and city views. Cross-bridge rice noodles and mushroom hot pot are a feast for your taste buds. Kunming Old Street and Chenggong New City are both ancient and new.
Very good 👍 scenery, highly recommended. It's a pity that I didn't see the seagulls because it was hot, but when the weather is good, the scenery is amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪😘😘😘💪💪

A scenic spot worth visiting, with the characteristics of each ethnic group. There are also many performances, all with ethnic minority characteristics. It takes four or five hours to walk down the entire park slowly. If you feel tired, you can take the small traffic in the scenic spot.
The park is very large. I played for a long time. I didn't think about watching the show at first, so I only bought tickets, but I just caught up. Let's go and see it. More than 100 tickets for the show alone are not worth it. The elderly did not go to see it. Many of the 🦚 in the Yi Nationality Garden have been opened, and the meal is average.

If Xishuangbanna is the ideal country, then Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park is the heart of the ideal country. The trip to Xishuangbanna must be here - an undefined freedom. 🌳 Rainforest walk, the Wizard of Oz stepped into the park, like breaking into the animation world of Miyazaki. The greenery spreads freely, and the lush branches and leaves are intertwined, dividing the sky into countless pieces. The sun shines through the gap, like a golden yarn, falling on the ground covered with fallen leaves, and the light and shadow are mottled. 🦚 Peacocks are released, the most expected of a romantic appointment, when peacocks are released! As the whistle sounded, hundreds of peacocks took off from the mountains and forests on the other side, crossed a beautiful arc over the lake, and finally landed gracefully on the shore. At that moment, the sight in front of you was suffocating, as if time had stopped. 💯 The play projects here are also super fun! The exciting jungle leaps, like jungle explorers, shuttle through the forest, feel the wind whistling in the ear, thrilling and enjoyable; Those who like excitement and challenge themselves can consider it, which takes about an hour.
There are peacocks to fly, sitting on the right side of the stands is the best shooting spot for peacocks to fly. In addition to feeding peacocks, you can also take pictures with peacocks. There are also folk activities in Aini cottage in the attractions, which is worth experiencing. The monkeys are also very naughty. This is the point of Kowloon Waterfall.

The Dongfangyun Scenic Area has beautiful scenery and is a good place for outings and sightseeing. The buildings inside are peculiar in shape and very photogenic. The photos taken are very good. There are many folk performances during the Spring Festival, which is just right for viewing. In short, the scenic area is very distinctive and worth visiting.
Dongfengyun Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level modern agricultural tourism complex in Mile City, Yunnan Province.
The following is a detailed introduction:
Overview of the Scenic Area
- Location information: Located in the suburbs of Mile City, close to Mile High-speed Railway Station, about an hour's drive from the provincial capital Kunming, the transportation is very convenient.
- Scale and planning: The total planned area is 3.69 square kilometers, and the core area is 1.6 square kilometers, covering a variety of industries such as ecological agriculture, art and culture, leisure and health.
- Characteristic landscape: There are unique architectural styles and beautiful flowers in the scenic area. The architectural style integrates red wine culture and the fire culture of the Axi people, a branch of the Yi nationality. The wine bottles and flame-shaped castles are all made of red bricks, with peculiar shapes.
Main attractions
- Kaleidoscope Art Museum: It is the most popular photo-taking spot for internet celebrities in Mile, and is known as the "magic castle of magic futurism" and the "fairy tale castle closest to your heart".
- Lavender Theme Park: Also known as the Colorful Flower Field, there are more than 10 kinds of beautiful flowers such as lavender, swallowtail grass, bellflower, and yellow crown chrysanthemum. Among them, a large sea of lavender flowers surrounds the scenic area (flowering period: April-October), as if you are in the exotic Europe, so it has the reputation of "Provence in Central Yunnan".
- Half Cloud: Continuing the architectural style of the Kaleidoscope Art Museum, the shape is weird. It is named because it resembles "half a cloud in the sky". The protruding layers of outer walls are like rolling clouds.
Supporting facilities
- Catering: There are various specialty restaurants and snack stalls in the scenic area, providing local food and drinks, such as Mile Braised Chicken Rice Noodles, Lamb Soup Pot, Red Wine, etc.
- Accommodation: There are a variety of accommodation options, including hotels, inns, B&Bs, etc., which can meet the needs of different tourists.
- Entertainment: There are strange-looking buildings in the scenic area, such as Niuduoluo Music Farm, Xiangwang Art Hotel, Agricultural Reclamation Exhibition Hall, Xiuwei Gate, etc. In addition, the scenic area also regularly holds various cultural activities and art exhibitions, such as the Red Brick Music Festival and the International Art and Life Festival.

The experience was beyond expectation. You must bring a change of clothes. Those who went with me all had a great time. But I was sore all over the next day, haha. It is recommended to buy a full basin at the roadside entrance during holidays. It will be cheaper. There are free basins inside, but you may not be able to get them. We arrived late and did not visit other places except splashing water. Friends who have time can visit the village. I heard it is also very good.
I walked around for a while. I passed the Water Splashing Square when I entered the gate in the morning, walked south and then east to visit the Lancang River speedboat, then walked north along the lake to the west. This section is a dirt road with mud, and then I arrived at the Water Splashing Square. It was just at 3:30 in the afternoon and I watched a water splashing event. Overall it was good. The park is very large, but I don't think it's necessary to take an electric car if you are not in a hurry.

Longpa Light Luxury Rainforest Hiking, the main feature of light luxury is to satisfy customers and make them happy. The forest ecological environment in the scenic area is primitive. It is a super experience and interesting. The guide is also very professional and easy to get along with. Moreover, this route is much more interesting than many popular routes on the Internet. There is no need to queue up for the project. The whole hike takes 4-6 hours. The lunch is also very delicious, very characteristic of Banna. Recommended. I will definitely come to Banna for hiking next time.
The experience of hiking in the Jino Mountain Rainforest is the best during these days in Xishuangbanna~ Tropical rainforest vegetation, walking in nature, various high-altitude swings, bamboo rafting, there are so many fun things to do!
