There is a saying that one person belongs to Lijiang, two people belong to Dali, and the family belongs to Xishuangbanna.

When our family of three traveled through the dense tropical rainforest after a long flight, rose-red bougainvillea continued to bloom and stretch along the way. The breeze brushed our faces, neither cold nor dry. We immediately agreed that this was an ideal and magical land. Even Yuanbao couldn't help but rejoice. Yes, Xishuangbanna is a place suitable for family vacations, like a place blessed by the gods. People who have been here described it as follows: Every day of life here is like a vacation, so that before I set out, I was looking forward to the trip at the end of the year. Of course, office workers don't have so many vacations, but I have the secret to winning. Choose a good hotel that I like to avoid unnecessary trouble and add to my vacation life.

Yi Yuechun:heartFeel the true meaning of life

Yuechuan is the sister brand of Banyan Tree, formerly known as Angsana. This is a green dragon tree growing in Asian tropical rainforests. It is known to the world for its irregular golden flowers. Yuechuan Resort is characterized by returning life to nature and feeling the true meaning of life with heart. The same is true for Yuechuan Hot Spring Resort in Xishuangbanna.

The hotel is located in Haoyu Mengbala International Tourism Resort in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture. It is about a 50-minute drive from Xishuangbanna Airport to the hotel. The hotel provides airport pick-up and drop-off service. As soon as we leave the airport, a driver is waiting next to him with a sign, which avoids the trouble of traffic circulation. The towels prepared in advance after getting on the bus and the snacks in the gift box are particularly considerate. This kind of care of detail allows us to instantly enter a romantic trip to Xishuangbanna.

2 Environment: Returnclose toThe nature of nature

Hidden in the quiet rainforest, Xishuangbanna Yuechun Hot Spring Resort has a unique natural environment. It occupies the mountains and is integrated with the golf greens, making tourists feel like they are in a paradise, with brown tiles and white walls, and cornices. The overall design incorporates Southeast Asian style and is similar to the buildings of Myanmar and Thailand.

Ethnic elements are everywhere. You can taste the strong ethnic customs when you are in the hotel. The hotel has a beautiful environment, with small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by green plants, water features, and landscape swimming pools interspersed among them.

Reclining chairs can be seen everywhere, and a small waterfall has even been built, like a large garden.

Three guest rooms: Five trees and six flowers derived from Buddhist scriptures

The guest floors of the hotel are named after Bodhi, Tall Banyan, Shell Leaf Palm, Areca nut and Sugar Palm. They originate from the Buddhist "Five Trees and Six Flowers". Of course, you will not find relevant records in the Buddhist scriptures spread to the south. This is a regional culture after Buddhism was introduced to Xishuangbanna. The "Five Trees and Six Flowers" refer to the five trees and six kinds of flowers that must be planted in temples in Buddhist scriptures. The five trees refer to Bodhi tree, Tall Banyan, Shell Leaf Palm, Areca nut and Sugar Palm; The six flowers refer to lotus (lotus), Cryopsis crassifolia, turmeric flower, frangipani, Burmese osmanthus and earth-rising golden lotus.

Our room is located in the "Bodhi" Building, which means "enlightenment." It is named after Sakyamuni comprehended enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. In jungle temples across India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, the Bodhi tree can be widely seen. People think under the Bodhi tree in order to realize the true meaning.

The rooms are decorated in a warm and reasonable manner, with national characteristics. The background painting on the wall suddenly creates a strong Dai style. Just like Yuechun's brand concept, on the premise of inheriting local traditions and protecting the environment, a large number of unique local natural building materials and special styles are used in the decoration and decoration to reflect the local customs and customs.

The bathroom is separated from dry and wet, the toiletries are of excellent quality, and the details are well made. In short, while pursuing integration with regional characteristics, it also provides modern comfort and enjoyment.

The balcony has its own landscape. At sunset, the entire room is shrouded in gentle light and shadow, like a dream.

Four Youyou: Returning to the summer mood

This is our first time to come to Xishuangbanna. Because the holidays are limited, we are not in a hurry to check in everywhere, breathe the fresh air, and stroll in the pleasant climate. This is the daily routine of Xishuangbanna.

Yuan Bao, who loves to play in the swimming pool, is attracted by the blue waves in the pool and enjoys kicking in the water in the sun.

More often, we sit on the recliner next to us and do nothing, playing soothing and beautiful music in our ears, and feel relaxed all the time.

Whether it is the temperature or the mood, it is like returning to the innocent summer.

Five Hot Springs SPA: Exotic Morocco Style

The hotel has an independent hot spring experience area. Yuechun SPA and hot spring cover an area of 8400 square meters, with complete supporting facilities and a special battery car to pick up and drop off.

The lobby of the hot spring is reminiscent of the tree of life in Luang Prabang, and the inner courtyard building has a certain Morocco style, reminiscent of the Aladdin magic lanterns in the Western Regions.

In the afternoon, the sun-drenched inner courtyard is very beautiful and is an excellent place to take photos

Many guests who were not staying in the hotel also came and leaned against the exotic arches and windows, posing with their heads in an attempt to take a beautiful photo worthy of remembrance.

A casual and unexpected group photo

The SPA technicians are superb and help relieve fatigue. Thanks to their teammates and their children, they took the time to experience it. The feeling is that this is a real vacation trip.

The weather is getting cooler, and hot springs are becoming a necessity. The temperature difference between day and night in Xishuangbanna is large. The sun is still exposed during the day like midsummer, and the wind blows at night has the coolness of autumn. There are 10 unique spa and thermotherapy facilities in the hot spring area, which can be enjoyed. Enjoy a pure spa experience.

Yuan Bao's favorite is a heated swimming pool and a hot spring with bubble ocean balls. It is no exaggeration to say that he can play tirelessly in the hot spring pool all afternoon.

Six Delicacies: The worldly world with a national stylehappiness

The full-day restaurant "Shiji" presents delicacies from all over the world, and there are also bait silk and specialty Yunnan rice noodles for breakfast.

The Chinese specialty restaurant "Chunfeng" focuses on local dishes, and it is a great experience to sit outdoors and eat when the weather is good.

At the beginning of the lights

On the night we first arrived, we had a barbecue on the terrace outside the Chinese restaurant. The food covered the entire long table. The barbecue food made a sizzling sound in the breeze. We loved this feeling of fireworks and suddenly felt a kind of real happiness.

I also encountered an entertainment performance by the Hani people. They were dressed in national costumes and their singing was clear and loud in the night, like the nature of nature.

Seven attractions：Paradise Corridorancient tea-horse road

Living in Yuechun, you can actually experience a variety of colorful activities without leaving home, from Tai Chi and yoga in the morning to handmade Dai paper and Dai pottery in the afternoon, to bonfire performances on weekends. They are colorful.

Tai Chi activities are around 8:00 to 9:00, and guests can participate together

Tai paper production incorporating environmental awareness

The Tai pottery production that children can participate in is very interesting. It is located in the lobby and is free to experience it

We went to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which is the oldest foreign economic and trade road in my country's history. There are two Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Road and the Dian-Tibet Tea Horse Road. The ancient Dian-Tibet Tea Horse Road starts in the south from Yiwu, Xishuangbanna, the main tea producing area in Yunnan. Pu 'er City, passing through today's Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La into Xizang, and reaching straight to Lhasa. It started around the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It uses carriers, horse gangs and yak and camel convoys as transportation carriers. It is one of the most famous ancient western international trade channels in Chinese history and is known as the Paradise Corridor.

The ancient tea-horse road thrives because of tea and is born for horses. Of course, the ancient tea-horse road, which once existed as an important trade channel, no longer has practical value in today's developed transportation. Its significance is more important reflected in culture. When we walk this ancient road again today and sit in a comfortable carriage, the aroma of tea has dissipated, the camel bells have disappeared, and the horse gangs have disappeared. We will still admire the wisdom and perseverance of the ancients.

Today's Xishuangbanna Ancient Tea and Horse Road Scenic Area is no longer as busy as it used to be. It is more of a preservation and display of traditional culture. The ancient stone roads, ancient streets, tea farmers 'homes and county magistrate's homes are well preserved, as if they still have the pride of the horse gangs of that day.

The scenic area is densely covered with secluded forests and tea gardens are full of slopes. Local aunts are picking tea in the tea gardens. When they see the camera, they smile warmly. In the secluded tea mountains, their ears seem to be like bells ringing in the mountains. While feeling the simplicity and nature of Xishuangbanna, they will also sigh with emotion and love. Like the Silk Road, the historical value of the ancient tea-horse road will always shine brightly.

The birds of paradise in the scenic area are in full bloom

At night, accompanied by a raging bonfire, I joined the singing and dancing team, as if I had become a minority who could sing and dance well.

Eight features: The peacock is released and the peacock is fed for the first time

Xishuangbanna is famous for its peacocks and is known as the hometown of peacocks. In the eyes of the Dai people, peacocks are a symbol of kindness, intelligence, love for freedom and peace, and good fortune and happiness.

Every day from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.(with a slight time difference due to different seasons), there are free peacocks flying on the grass and slopes near the hotel. Not only can you see as many as a hundred peacocks flying. The spectacular scene, you can also experience the fun of feeding peacocks.

This is the first time Yuan Bao has fed a peacock. He is full of hope that the peacock can eat the food in his hands. When he sees the peacock coming, he carefully feeds the peacock. He is surprised that the peacock has eaten his food, and he will also feel a little frustrated because the peacock walks away.

Feeding peacocks is almost every child's favorite. You can tell this from the wave after wave of children who are eager to feed peacocks.

It is free to fly peacocks, but you have to buy the food to feed the peacocks yourself, 10 yuan a pack.

When we are tired of busy and noisy urban life, we always want a refined and leisurely vacation to reignite the passion of life. We spent a family recharging journey at Xishuangbanna Yuechun Hot Spring Resort Hotel. Whether it is the local climate or the hotel's own The software and hardware environment can make people completely relax. The Sanskrit sound here is curling and the Zen atmosphere is remote. People always smile in their lives in faith, always showing a kind of greenery. In just a few days, it is just a glimpse of the light. Looking forward to my next trip back to Banna.
