Xishuangbanna is a hot land without winter. Many people prefer to go to Banna in autumn and winter to "escape the cold". Even in January, the temperature is very high on sunny days, and a coat is enough for winter, so it is very cool to go to Banna for a vacation in winter. So, if you come to Banna for the first time, what must you know?

Many people may be because of the tropical rainforest of Banna, because of the exotic customs, because of the Dai water-splashing festival, because of the pristine forests and fresh air, or because wild elephants can be seen there... For me, in addition to the above, what I recommend most is the colorful national culture there.

Dai flavor is the biggest symbol of Banna's cuisine, with ethnic flavor. The main dishes include grilled citronella, grilled citronella, pork belly, pineapple rice, wild vegetable soup, and flavored boiled rice. If you come to Banna in the rainy season, you can also challenge wild fungi and insects. In addition, you must also try Dai's barbecue. The roasting method is different, and the food will taste different. Coupled with different sauces, the taste will be endless. Banna snacks are the most reliable to go to Xingguang Night Market, with bamboo rice, dried rice, salad and small glutinous corn most recommended.

There are many varieties of tropical fruits in Banna, and I guarantee that many of them are things you have never seen before. It is recommended not to buy them at roadside stalls, because they will be pitted in minutes. It is best to go to the market, farmers 'market, and Jiangbei Mange Fruit Wholesale Market. Buy them at the fruit wholesale market. Banna's specialties are also very rich. The recommended shopping point is Gaozhuang West Shuangjing.

The attractions in Banna are relatively scattered. Generally, we choose to live in Jinghong City or near the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. These two places are tourist distribution centers. I personally recommend staying in the Xishuangbanna Yunmeiting Inn near the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is very close to the Botanical Garden. It has a Dai style and a tropical rainforest style. Most of the rooms are decorated with bamboo, which are natural, elegant and very comfortable. The window is green and blue, close to water and smoky, and the environment is great. Everyone can go there. The value for money is very high.

Speaking of Banna attractions, the tropical rainforest is definitely the first place to visit. Currently, the tropical rainforest attractions in Banna include Wangtianshu Scenic Area, Tropical Rainforest Valley and Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I suggest visiting these three attractions. In addition, scenic spots such as Wild Elephant Valley, Primeval Forest Park, Manting Park, Jino Village, and Dai Garden are all to be visited.

Wild Elephant Valley is the only place in Asia where wild elephants can be seen. There are groups of peacocks in the primeval forest park, and the air is so good that it bursts. There are performances and bonfire parties in Manting Park at night. Jino Mountain Village is the best window to understand Jino culture. Dai Garden has five of the best-preserved Dai natural villages in my country.

New Year's Day is coming soon. Go to Xishuangbanna to avoid the cold and feel the charm and style of this hot land without winter!
