    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 13 species from 5 genera distributed in China are all listed as nationally protected rare and endangered plants. 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.

    I opted for the entrance ticket plus rainforest elephant grazing package, and it was great. It included rainforest elephant grazing, giving me the opportunity to interact with Asian elephants. Although the time was a bit short, walking with elephants in the rainforest was a unique experience. The park management was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. The route was also very convenient; there's a direct tourist bus from Gaozhuang, and the tour guide on the bus was very helpful, explaining important information and there were no hidden costs. Thumbs up!

    Getting to the Dai Ethnic Garden is very convenient! At the Peacock Garden, enjoy the peacock dance performed by Dai girls, visit the White Pagoda Temple and Golden Pagoda Temple, see the Dai stilted houses, and try the lemongrass-grilled fish. Young people can participate in the water-splashing activities at the Water Splashing Square for a refreshing blessing.

    This group-buying package offers the best value for money online. Not only did we have a fantastic time, but it also included a rainforest meal. The air in the mountains was so fresh, the streams were crystal clear, and the scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended! 👍

    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.

    The scenery was beautiful, but since it's this season, most of the fruits were gone. Besides some papayas and jackfruits, there were very few others. However, it's still worth a visit for tourists from northern regions.

    Still in recovery mode! The simplicity, warmth, and humor of the local people in Xishuangbanna made me feel the friendliness of this city! Rainforest hiking is a must-do activity in Xishuangbanna! Choosing Bado, an official Ctrip route, was the right decision! It was also recommended by locals, and it was definitely worth it! Our guide, Sister Ka, was also incredibly friendly~ The whole experience was an immersive one of the unique scenery of the tropical rainforest! For a young girl like me, the most important thing is getting good photos! These photos were all taken by our guide, Sister Ka!!!

    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.

    When traveling to Xishuangbanna, I specifically hired a car to visit the boundary marker and border line. I booked tickets for two people online, so there was no need to pick up tickets on-site; I could just scan the code to enter the park, which was very convenient. The village is small, so there's no need to hire a guide. Just follow the signs, walk around, and stop as you please until you reach the boundary marker. After visiting the boundary marker, we had lunch nearby; 28 yuan per person was a reasonable price.
