Wangtianshu Scenic Area

There is a saying that "Banna will come in vain until you reach Wangtianshu." Wangtianshu is the most powerful evidence of Xishuangbanna's tropical rainforest. The spectacle of a single forest may only be seen here. There are also glass corridors and canopy corridors. Walking on the canopy corridors is very exciting, and the charm of the tropical rainforest is in front of you.

Jino Shanzhai

Have you heard of Keno Mountain, which ranks first among the six ancient tea mountains? The Keno Mountain Village is located here. Xishuangbanna is not only famous for its tropical rainforests, but its ethnic customs are also a major sight. It is surrounded by lush mountains and embraces by mountains. It feels detached from the world and is the most important and direct window to understand Jino culture. The Jino people are the last ethnic group recognized by the State Council, which is of great significance.

wild elephant Valley

Xishuangbanna also has one unique place in Asia. If you want to truly see wild elephants in Asia, you can only come to the Wild Elephant Valley. It has crisscross river valleys, dense forests, and a tropical rainforest scenery. There are rare animals such as wild elephants, bison, green peacock, macaque monkeys.

Menglun Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden

I have always believed that if you choose the most suitable scenic spot for taking children in Xishuangbanna, it must be the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Menglun. It is divided into three major scenic spots, including tropical rainforest areas, needless to say exotic flowers and grasses, and running streams, dripping springs, green trees surround the sky, and the air is so good that even if you just lie on the grass, you are unwilling to wake up. There is an inn distribution center not far from here. Most tourists will choose to stay there when they go to Xishuangbanna. I will talk about the inn in the last part.

[Xishuangbanna Food]

Due to its unique geographical location, you will find that the people of Xishuang Edition have an extreme preference for bamboo. The cups and glasses are made of bamboo, the chopsticks and spoons are made of bamboo, the house is made of bamboo, the rice is made of bamboo, and the dishes are baked of bamboo. In short, in all aspects of life, you will always see things related to bamboo. When you come to Xishuangbanna, who hasn't eaten a few delicious dishes made of bamboo?

Xiangzhu rice

That is, bamboo rice. After the rice is brewed, it is placed in bamboo, sealed and roasted on the fire. The fragrance of the bamboo penetrates into the rice. When the two are integrated, the real fragrance of bamboo will float ten miles. A light bite will leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth, and you will have endless aftertaste. Moreover, this kind of bamboo rice is easy to carry and can be taken there when you go to scenic spots to play. You can eat it again when you are tired from playing. By the way, the local rice has a long reputation, which is one reason why the bamboo rice here is so delicious.

Grilled fish with lemongrass

The citronella unique to Xishuangbanna, combined with the fish in the surrounding mountain streams, has become this very delicious and famous dish. That's right, we still need to use bamboo to roast it. During the roasting process, the aroma of bamboo penetrates into the fish. The roasted fish is tender, fresh and fragrant. I can't stop it. I must try it when I go to Xishuangbanna.

Steamed eggs with bamboo tube

I have eaten all kinds of steamed eggs, but have you eaten steamed eggs in bamboo tubes? The eggs steamed in this way are very smooth and tender, and the aroma of bamboo is brought out. They are very refreshing and melt in the mouth.

bamboo wine

Use bamboo to hold wine. The aroma of bamboo and the aroma of wine are combined to make it very clear. You can smell it even from a long distance. The wine is really not afraid of the deep alleys! How can I not taste this bamboo wine when I arrive in Xishuangbanna?

[Xishuangbanna Inn]

What kind of houses do Dai people usually live in? Maybe you have already guessed it. The answer can be found from the landscapes of Xishuangbanna and the processing of various delicacies. That's right, it's a bamboo building. Bamboo buildings can be said to be the biggest feature of Dai people's homes.

When you come to Xishuangbanna, of course, you have to experience this Dai style! So, where would it be more convenient to live and have a better experience? Generally speaking, tourists to Xishuangbanna will choose two places as stopping places, one is Jinghong City and the other is Menglun. Next to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Menglun mentioned above is a very important passenger distribution center.

The place is surrounded by mountains and feels like a paradise and very peaceful. When I visited Xishuangbanna twice, I stayed at Yunmeiting Boutique Inn. It is an inn with a very Dai style and a tropical rainforest feeling. The rooms are bamboo roof-like and have a faint aroma of bamboo. It feels very comfortable, with good lighting and bright. You can see the distant mountains and the blue colors, and the view is wide, which makes people feel good unknowingly. Friends traveling to Xishuangbanna can try it.
