At 1 p.m., we went to another scenic spot, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden. It was about a 40-minute drive. When we arrived at the scenic spot, we took an electric bike. The journey was a bit long. You had to pay for it at your own expense. We had already paid the money before this, and everyone was not interested in taking photos. After watching the strangulation tree, many people liked to take photos here and check in. Our group was not very interested in taking photos, so we found it boring to stroll. The weather was hot and didn't want to leave. We did see many flowers and plants we had never seen before. What are jumping grass, looking sky trees, jackfruit trees, etc. There is also a hot air balloon venue, but the cost is too high, 299 yuan/person for ten minutes. The tour guide did not recommend us to go there, so we just took a look and turned back.

When we took the bus back to the city, the tour guide's attitude was much better, unlike the attitude he had in the morning. He told us whether to eat fruit. We could buy it when we passed by the roadside. When we arrived at the roadside, we bought pineapples. It was not expensive. 10 yuan/piece, we bought one to try the local specialties. We arrived at Manting Park in about an hour. The tour guide did not introduce us to go in and have a look. We went in and had a buffet, which was our dinner. The food was similar to that in the hotel in the morning. After eating, we were ready to queue up to watch the performance. It was about the local customs and customs performances of several countries near Banna, and the dancing was okay. Then there was the bonfire party. It was actually a large square dance with a bonfire. The leading dancers danced very enthusiastically, with a lot of people and lively, and there was no charge. It was nothing like the previous rumored Yunnan Bonfire party to collect money. After we went back, we suggested going to have a barbecue. Some people were willing and some were unwilling. The tour guide took us to an inconspicuous shop and let us eat by ourselves. Daitai barbecue is very special, especially the grilled fish is different from our Jiangsu one. It is peeled off the skin and meat, and the price is not expensive. The three of them ate 120 yuan plus beer.

On the third day, we went to the virgin forest. With yesterday's Botanical Garden, everyone thought it was definitely not fun, but the tour guide said it was different. This time it is Hani. The boy is called Ali and the girl is called Abu. We first went to the place where the peacocks were released and there was a performance. Many places there had long been occupied, so we just stood behind and watched. The performance was very beautiful, and the scene and the dance were really like a fairyland. After watching it, I took an electric bike to the mountains and arrived at the Hani stockade. It was very interesting for everyone to dance and play games together (similar to jumping on rubber bands when I was a child). After the game ended, we went to the tropical rainforest area. This suspension bridge is very interesting to walk through, and many people are afraid to walk.

When I came back at noon, we ate a Peacock Banquet at Gaozhuang. It felt okay but a little spicy. I hope people who eat spicy food don't care. We can't stand it.

In the afternoon, I went to Nanru Mountain to learn about ancient trees of nearly a thousand years and how to identify Pu 'er. I drank Pu' er tea, which was really good, so I bought some back. The farm food we ate at night was also very good, and many wild vegetables were indescribable.

Arriving at the Mekong River yacht at night, there were also many people. We sat on the first floor and had a fruit meal, then went to the second floor to watch the performances, mainly watching the dances of various ethnic groups in Banna, followed by a shemale performance. The transvestite was a little old. He looked like the kind who had failed plastic surgery and couldn't survive in Thailand. If he really didn't want to see it, he would go outside the cabin to watch the night view of the Mekong River until the performance ended and went back.

On the morning of the fourth day, we went to the Dai Village. The tour guide was very beautiful. All men in the Dai nationality have the surname Yan and the surname Yu. The difference between us Han people is that the Dai nationality has women marrying men. The tour guide was very gentle. She went to the tour guide's house and walked around the stockade and took us to the village cooperative to buy things. According to her, this place is similar to communism. I don't know if it's true or false. Anyway, the houses we live in are good. The focus is shopping, but it doesn't matter if we don't buy it.

We had farm food at noon. In the afternoon, we were taken to the Latex Exhibition Hall. At first glance, we could tell that we were selling latex products. When the staff explained, we successfully led the staff astray. As a result, no one in our group bought anything and left. Then we came to the Dafo Temple. The weather was so hot that we couldn't open our eyes. After a stroll, we came to the Splash Square. I originally wanted to participate, but I didn't want to go when I saw many people posing for photos and renting clothes. The dragons in Dafo Temple are not as good-looking as we Han people. They are unicorn dragons.

At night, I changed hotels and stayed in Gaozhuang. I had rice noodles at Gaozhuang for dinner. After eating, I went to visit the Xingguang Night Market. It was too crowded and it was very hot. The tour guide took me to a tourist photography shop (with complimentary items). When we saw that there were too many people, we gave up taking pictures and gave up. The night market was full of tourists taking photos. We visited the so-called Great Pagoda and Six Kingdoms Water Market, which was actually at the Xingguang Night Market, which was a place where photos were provided. We walked for a while and drank some juice. The price was not expensive, 10 yuan/cup.

I was tired after a hot day, so I went to the roadside to find a place to soak my feet. The price was not expensive. 58 yuan/person.

After soaking in, I went back to the hotel to sleep, feeling dizzy.

Arriving at Gaozhuang morning market on the fifth morning, there were not many shops open, only the fruit shop. The fruit shop is a big one known as one-stop shopping for Southeast Asian products. When you look at the prices, you immediately give up. Pineapple is 12.8 yuan/catty, mangosteen is 35 yuan/catty, etc. I don't know if they are really delicious and more expensive than those bought in the mainland, so I gave up and didn't buy them. I went back to the hotel to have a nap, checked out at noon, found a shop for lunch, and returned to the airport.

Overall, Banna is still very fun. It feels like going abroad. I suggest that you travel freely, you don't need to follow a group, live in Gaozhuang, and two days is enough. Banna is not big, so you can drive yourself by car. If you don't like to take photos, I suggest going to the virgin forest, Manting Park, or Daijia Zhaizi. Everything else is similar. Wherever you go is to watch performances, and the dances are similar. The best place to dance is Manting Park. It doesn't matter if it charges differently.

The above information is for everyone's reference.
