    Visiting the Dipterocarp Garden at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences March 21, 2025, 14:51. The weather was very pleasant during the visit to the Dipterocarp Garden at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dipterocarpaceae plants are mainly distributed in tropical Asia and are representative tree species of Southeast Asian tropical rainforests, comprising 15 genera and 580 species.

The Dipterocarp Garden covers an area of ​​approximately 6.7 hectares and has collected and preserved all species from my country and some species distributed in Southeast Asia, making it a very valuable Dipterocarp Garden.

    Yunnan's hospitality is ingrained in its DNA. It's so beautiful and fun! We happened to catch the Water Splashing Festival, and joining everyone in the fun was incredibly enjoyable! Dai clothing and water splashing equipment are available for sale nearby, and there's also plenty of delicious food to enjoy! The Dai Park is quite large, with many Dai villages integrated into one. Be sure to plan your visit carefully, as you won't be able to visit many areas after closing time!

    Friends, when you come to Xishuangbanna, don't just focus on the Starlight Night Market! I just hiked the newly opened rainforest trail in Jinuo Mountain last year. Six hours of hiking, and my phone's photo album was completely full! Wading through the clear stream in rain boots, you could pick up any stone in the water and smear it on your face. There are swings at the beginning and middle, but the ones in the rainforest are even more thrilling. Swinging across the water so close to the surface, your screams were swallowed by the rainforest! No need for filters in the photos! A special shout-out to our local Jinuo guide! A "walking encyclopedia": This flower spider used to make me jump three meters, but now I actually find it kind of cute; he even pulled out his own sour ants and urged us to eat them alive—they were so sour and addictive, and it was hilarious to see those who were too scared to try them grimacing at others! The last part was simply divine! Climbing up the natural stream, grabbing vines and stepping on stones, it was a real-life wilderness survival game, but the guide was there the whole time, making it super reassuring! Having a picnic at a rest stop along the way and listening to the tour leader tell ancient stories of the Jinuo people is a much better experience than just visiting tourist attractions!

    The park is small and has a vintage feel. It's very clean, and the security guards are very friendly and patient in answering questions. I suggest adding a toilet seat to the restrooms for the elderly.

    Pick-up and drop-off service, straight to the bottom of the mountain, haha! The journey was very easy; we just waded through the water, which wasn't deep and was perfectly safe! Our guide with the braided hair was hilarious! He was so funny, making the whole trip comfortable! His explanations of the tree stories were very memorable, and the photos turned out great—I even have super long legs now! There were many swings along the way; there's something for everyone, whether you're brave or timid. It was a very worthwhile experience.

    You can go. It's the 7D movie. It's not good to put backpacks on the ground (they said to put them under the chairs, but actually it was the ground under the chairs). There is a small table but you can't put them there. They said you can put more bags there. In fact, there were only two bags in our row, so they could fit them. Even if they couldn't, the scenic spot should add tables. But overall it's good.

    The entire trip lasted 6 hours, which was more than enough and excellent value. Booking through the official website is definitely reliable. Our guide in the Amazon rainforest minibus, number 26, was a young man from the Jinuo ethnic group. He was incredibly patient and didn't rush us. We were able to experience the activities repeatedly; my child went on the tire swing four times, and he even helped take photos. PS: Perhaps because we booked late, there was a communication error. The driver called at 11:40 PM because we were changing drivers mid-trip. We had already confirmed the driver and were resting, but he called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer. When I answered in the morning, he was extremely impatient. This driver, license plate number 16116, had a black face the whole time and didn't say a word. He drove so hard that everyone got carsick, and he wanted to charge us even though the trip was almost over? This was a terrible experience. Later, the travel agency called and told them not to contact us anymore, as it might have been outside their service area, but that was their problem. The travel agency communicated and resolved the issue quickly. Overall, we were satisfied with the trip and would recommend changing drivers.

    I brought my children here in 2016, and today is a revisit. The overall environment is very good, the scenic area is very clean, there is free paper in the toilet, and boiled water is provided in the scenic area. The barbecue at your own expense is very fragrant, the free fruit barbecue grain platter is also very good, and the show performance is also very atmospheric, recommended for parent-child travel.
