If you ask me when is the best time to go to Xishuangbanna?

I will definitely say: Winter?

When is winter?

January is the best month.

When the temperature is close to 0 degrees in many places, Xishuangbanna, a warm winter place, cannot be too comfortable. It's more than 20 degrees, it's a beautiful summer day, and the eyes are full of green, birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, and spring is full. My God, what kind of immortal place is this?

There is no winter in the long summer, and a rain turns autumn. Come to Banna in January, enjoy the blue sky and white clouds, dry and gentle, avoid the hot and humid rainy season, and go bask in the sun?

Sixiao Expressway: A highway through tropical rainforest

China's only tropical rainforest highway runs through Xishuangbanna. The beautiful scenery along the road is extremely exciting to imagine. It would be even better if it was a self-driving tour. There were fresh and elegant tea gardens along the way, with lush green mountains. It looked like a picture of a fairyland no matter how you look at it. Stopping to enjoy it is also a great joy of the journey.

When you are lucky, you can still see hordes of elephants, bringing you into the fairy tale world of tropical rainforests in one second. There are also village huts where ethnic minorities live. In addition to the visual feel of the Wizard of Oz, they also have the pastoral scenery of a paradise. Before reaching Banna, people are already drunk.

Tropical rainforest: An adventure journey begins here

Banna is the only place in China with natural tropical rainforests. There are authentic tropical rainforests in Wangtianshu Scenic Area, Tropical Rainforest Valley and the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the Rainforest Valley, you can see ethnic minority men building houses in trees and living there until there is a girl seeking a mate.

Wangtianshu Scenic Area is the only place where you can experience tropical rainforests from both water, land and air. There are many interesting projects. You can challenge the world's number one crown corridor, you can take a speedboat across the Nanla River in the Eastern Amazon, and you can experience the dangers of rainforest covered bridges. Surrounded by life, experience the magical tropical rainforest, and bathe in the sunshine and morning dew of the tropical forest.

If you want to bask in the sun, it is the most appropriate to go to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There is also a tropical rainforest scenic spot there, the air is super good, basking in the sun on the empty grass, thinking about nothing, ignoring anything, just lying there is a wonderful beauty.

Yunmeiting Inn: Dai style created by bamboo

The ancients once said: I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. In Banna, the most exciting thing is the bamboo forest and the bamboo buildings of Banna residents hidden under the bamboo forest. When traveling in Banna, I stayed in the "Xishuangbanna Yunmeiting Inn". It is near the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The environment is extremely good. What impressed me most is the bamboo style of this inn. Almost all the rooms are decorated with bamboo. The strong Dai style, embellished with peacocks and other elements, has a tropical rainforest atmosphere. It is particularly comfortable to live and sleeps well. I think it may have something to do with the natural and original bamboo. Coupled with the service of this inn as warm as a tropical rainforest, this inn still leaves me with the most precious memories.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road: A leisurely walk through the thousand-year-old ancient road

The ancient tea-horse road has a very long history, with ever-changing landscapes and rich cultural connotations. Go to Banna, an ancient road that has lasted for thousands of years, and feel the horseshoe prints left by long history and the ancient tea trees in the dense forest. I think, This is not only a tribute to history, but also a rare charm. Listening to bluestone slabs telling history and talking with history, has this not been a beautiful experience?

Dadugang Ten Thousand-acre Tea Garden: You may not understand the beauty of pastoral life

Banna is the birthplace of Pu 'er tea. I always like to find a tea garden to stop and experience pastoral life. In the morning, the smoke is filled with lush mountains and lush mountains. It is beautiful and picturesque. In the afternoon, I bathe in the warm sun and taste a cup of aged Pu' er. Looking at the tea fields are like green ribbons stacked on top of each other, closing my eyes to smell the tea, and the tea tea fills my nose. At that moment, I will not be trapped by everything in the world. I have only the ray of sunshine, that leisure, that proud heart...

There are many wonderful experiences about Banna, such as enjoying the river view, visiting the night market, tasting the roadside Dai flavor, and experiencing the nightlife of the local people. Or go to the Wild Elephant Valley to see real wild elephants, or go to the primeval forest park to see peacocks flying south, or go to the Jino Village to experience the rich ethnic customs of ethnic minorities.

In short, winter in Banna may be something you will find difficult to experience anywhere. If Lijiang is a one-night stand and Dali is a love, then Banna should be a four-season love.

If you have never been to Banna, how can you talk about going to Yunnan?
