2025 Jinghong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I've checked in to another amazing riverside hotel 😍 The value for money here is simply off the charts! It's located in Building F1, Jingdaizhai, Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture—the Parisian Riverside Luxury Hotel. It's in the heart of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, right next to the beautiful Lancang River, and incredibly close to the super-popular Starlight Night Market. It's just a few hundred meters away—super convenient! The hotel rooms are fully equipped with everything you need, including a refrigerator, smart toilet, and smart curtains. Plus, every room has a balcony. In the evening, you can enjoy the gentle breeze while dining and chatting with family and friends on the balcony. Life doesn't get much better than this. The entire hotel is decorated in a French retro luxury style, with interwoven blue and white tones. It's like stepping into a romantic dream—a feast for the eyes. The vacation vibes are instantly palpable ⛱️ Even better, there's an outdoor swimming pool on the hotel's lower ground floor, which is a perfect spot for taking photos! The dolphin-shaped fountain is super cute, and the beach chairs are incredibly comfortable. This time of year, the weather is perfect—not too cold and not too sunny. An afternoon swim after lunch is pure bliss 😌

The hotel is located in Building F13 of Jingdaizhai, Shuangjing, Gaozhuang. On the left, it is adjacent to the star-studded Gaozhuang Night Market, where there are countless local snacks; on the right, it is adjacent to the Jinghong landmark Dancing Peacock Tower, and is also close to the Lancang River. 🌿Awesome hotel facilities: [Rainbow] Elephant Cafe: Located on the first floor of the hotel, it is both a hotel lobby and a cafe. It has a Southeast Asian casual style design and is great for taking photos. [Rainbow] Peacock Forest Restaurant: On the 2nd floor of the hotel, green plants and textured decorations complement each other, instantly elevating the dining experience. [Rainbow] Moonlight Bar: Located on the 17th floor of the hotel, the petal-shaped booths are very atmospheric and there are resident singers. You can come here for a drink or two in the evening, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea with your sisters in the bubble house in the afternoon. This is the ideal life. [Rainbow] Starry Sky Infinity Pool: On the top floor, the 16th floor, you can swim while overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Lancang River. It is a great place to watch the sunset. The swimming pool is connected to the bar and is a constant temperature pool with a temperature close to 30℃, which is warm and pleasant. It is rare in high-end hotels in Banna. Such a swimming pool allows people to enjoy it all day long. [Rainbow] Each room is like a pineapple slice, with a terrace where you can enjoy the bright sunshine and the dazzling night view. Most balconies offer views of the river. It is a wonderful experience to take a bath while watching the night view of Xishuangbanna.

Found the most artistic hotel in Xishuangbanna 🏨 Hidden halfway up the mountain, it is only a 15-minute drive from Gaozhuang. There is also a stunning rooftop pool!!!!! In the morning, you can capture the sunrise over the golden mountains 🌄 In the afternoon, you can watch the orange soda-flavored sunset 🌅 The bathtub in the room faces the mountain view, and the clouds float in front of you while you soak in the tub. The original wooden style is mixed with Dai ethnic elements, and the light is also excellent. Taking pictures comes with a perfect filter 📸 There are also many artistic design ornaments that are super beautiful! The breakfast rice noodles are so delicious that you can drink all the soup 🍜 There are also bread, salad, sweet potatoes, corn, fruit, and milk, perfectly catering to everyone!!! There is a cafe and gym on the first floor, and a cozy bookstore on the second floor! The butler is very attentive in picking you up and dropping you off and helps with your luggage. At night, you can watch the stars by the pool ✨ and wake up to the sound of birds in the morning 🐦 This is the right way to vacation~

I booked a fantastic hotel where I could spend the whole day having fun without even stepping out! Exotic holidays among red walls - Xishuangbanna Heyue Resort Hotel. As soon as you enter, you'll see red and desert-colored buildings dotted with tropical greenery. Every angle is picture-perfect, and the desert-style decor makes me feel like I'm abroad. It's really great for someone who loves taking pictures. There is a large swimming pool in the central courtyard area, and it looks even better when photographed from the second floor. You can go swimming anytime in this hot weather. 🌷 There is a cafe next to the pool, so you can have a cup of coffee in comfort! The hotel also has Trip Moments photographers, but you need to book one day in advance. My schedule was pretty full, so I didn't try it out. The hotel also offers afternoon tea in each room. Sitting there, drinking afternoon tea, and taking pictures is also very photogenic. The overall service is also very comfortable, especially the hotel drivers, who are very good and the prices are reasonable. I would definitely check in again!

In the Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there is a very Southeast Asian-style temple called 'Mengle Grand Buddha Temple.' Located in Jinghong City, it is often referred to as 'Jinghong Grand Buddha Temple.' It was rebuilt on the site of the ancient royal temple of the Dai Kingdom, 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple.' The Theravada Buddhism prevalent in Xishuangbanna is very similar to that in Thailand, Myanmar, and other Southeast Asian regions, which is the Theravada Buddhism we are familiar with. No wonder the architectural style feels so familiar, with a strong Thai Lanna influence. Outside the temple stands a magnificent Buddha statue, 45 meters tall, said to be the largest outdoor Buddha statue in Theravada Buddhism, quite spectacular. The entrance fee is 120 RMB, which is not cheap, but there are performances to watch, and a unique peacock release event, though unfortunately, I missed it due to timing. If you don't want to climb the stairs up the mountain, you can choose to take the electric car. Overall, it is a well-developed tourist attraction.

My friends and I took some incredible photos at a hotel in Xishuangbanna. I highly recommend staying at the Chunsun Xishang Banshan Hotel 🏨 The location and environment are impeccable!! Plus, you can experience the Southeast Asian Dai culture here. - The mint green infinity cliffside pool, the sunset viewing platform, and the scenic hot tub are my favorite spots! The photos you take here are stunning straight out of the camera 📸 You can enjoy the beautiful view of the entire Gaozhuang area from the hillside of the hotel or from your room! - The environment is quiet and serene, and the rooms are well-equipped, even luxurious! They have premium mattresses, Dyson hair dryers, 120-inch projectors, and even a mini bar🥂 It's so relaxing to come back at night, have a drink, and watch a movie💕 - The service is also excellent, with 24-hour butler service! They also provide unlimited shuttle service to and from the hotel and the Starlight Night Market, making it very convenient to go out for late-night snacks!! - In addition to the butler service, check-in also includes airport/station pickup + breakfast for two + welcome fruit. It's such a comfortable hotel. 🏨 Chunsun Xishang Banshan Hotel 📍 Next to Wangcheng Tower, 181 County Road, Jinghong City

Xishuangbanna is really a charming place. There are many Buddhist temples here, each with its own characteristics. Among them, the "Mengle Grand Buddha Temple" is one that I think should not be missed.

Hey, let me tell you! I'm very picky about hotels, and ordinary places can't catch my eye. But I've been to the Grand Mercure three times, and every time I come, I feel like it's the best hotel in my heart. The first time I came to the Grand Mercure, I was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. The front desk was so enthusiastic that they almost treated me like a long-lost relative. After checking in, I went to the room and saw that the bed was as soft as a cloud. When I lay down, I wondered if I was going to float. The room was cozy and stylish, like a scene from a fashion magazine. The second time I came, I was already familiar with the place, like I was going home. The breakfast was so rich that I ate from one end to the other, and my stomach was about to burst. The restaurant staff was very observant, and as soon as the water in the cup was a little less, they immediately came to refill it, making me feel like a "big boss" being served. This time, I found many hidden advantages. The soundproofing of this hotel is amazing. Even if there is a lot of noise outside at night, I can sleep like a pig in the room. And the cleaning staff seems to have magical powers, and the room is always spotless. Every time I come to the Grand Mercure, it's like starting a wonderful and comfortable journey. I am completely conquered by it and have become a "loyal fan." In the future, when I go out, I don't have to think about it. The Grand Mercure is definitely my first choice!

Jiangyu Jiangjing Once you stay here, you'll want to come back again and again! It's located in Gaozhuang, just 5 minutes from Starlight Night Market! You can enjoy a direct view of the Lancang River. 🌴 Stunning infinity pool The hotel's biggest highlight is its huge infinity pool! 🏊 From the room, the pool looks like a deep green tourmaline set on the banks of the Lancang River. The water and sky blend together, creating a truly healing atmosphere. Swim in the pool during the day, and the sunlight sparkles on the water. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece! At night, the lights reflecting on the river create a romantic atmosphere, like a fairy tale world. ✨ The pool is also equipped with a transparent boat and a big balloon 🦄, perfect for taking photos with your friends! 🏠 Comfortable rooms 🏛 I stayed in a duplex loft room with a large space and a huge bathtub! The room has a simple yet elegant design, with a full set of smart home appliances. 🪼 It's very comfortable and easy to use. 🛏 The bedding is clean and comfortable, soft and reassuring! The hotel has smart toilets 🚽 with disposable seat covers, which makes me feel very comfortable. If you book early, you can choose a river view room. 🏞 Stand by the window and enjoy the beautiful view of the Lancang River, especially at sunset. It's breathtaking! 💛 Thoughtful butler service The butler helped me with my luggage and prepared welcome fruits and snacks in the room. 🍒 The service is really thoughtful! The hotel also provides unlimited shuttle service, making it very convenient to get around. I was really impressed by this hotel! 🙈 🍳 Delicious breakfast + floating afternoon tea 🙋‍♀ The hotel offers a wide variety of Chinese and Western breakfast options, all of which are delicious and cater to different tastes. 🌴 The afternoon tea is a pleasant surprise. The floating afternoon tea by the pool is both delicious and photogenic, creating a perfect vacation atmosphere! This hotel is perfect in every way, from the scenery to the service. Once you stay here, you'll never forget it! If you're visiting Xishuangbanna, you must stay at Jiangyu Jiangjing Hot Spring Hotel. You won't be disappointed!

Stay in the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna The place I stayed the most in Banna was the hotel. This one really makes you want to stay in. The hotel is designed as a single villa. There are tropical plants everywhere and a super large swimming pool, which makes you feel like you are on vacation. The indoor and outdoor public rest areas are also designed in a Southeast Asian style, making you feel like you are on vacation in Thailand. The facilities and services of the entire hotel are also very good. It was a pleasant vacation trip~ :Xishuangbanna Benshu Linyu Resort Hotel: Building 12, Qianjiang Garden, Yunhong Street, Jinghong

It is really cold in northern China in January. If you have time, go to Xishuangbanna to escape the cold. Xishuangbanna is crowded with people in January. Even if it is not the weekend, the Starlight Night Market is crowded at night. Today I’d like to share with you a very rare temple check-in spot in the local area. You don’t have to go to Manting Park and Big Buddha Temple. You can take pictures of unique Thai-style buildings here. This place is located on the back mountain of Jinghong National Middle School, and the white temple is particularly eye-catching here. The temple is painted very cleanly and is a newly opened tourist attraction. There is no charge for entry, but you still need to abide by the rules and cannot wear suspender skirts. You can take great reflection photos here without the help of mirrors or water! In fact, the most striking thing here is the reflection effect in the water. Many photographers who come here either bring a mirror or pour a bottle of water on the ground to highlight the charm of the temple through the reflection on the ground! If it’s a sunny day with white clouds, you can take the best photos of your life!

🏠 Manhe Ancient Village in the city Wander aimlessly, daze Wake up naturally Make tea, wait for the sunset No need to fly to Chiang Mai or Bali You can also find the long-lost relaxation - About 10 minutes' drive from Gaozhuang Stay in a pool villa on the edge of the ancient village With a floating pool as the "sky" Low-saturation bricks, stones, wood, and walls continue the earth color As if growing naturally, integrated into this mountain There is an endless field across the wall This is probably the closest to the city - 🏷️

🏨 As soon as you open the door of this Wuqiu Rainforest homestay, you'll be embraced by the strong rainforest vibe! 🌿 🛁 The room design is so thoughtful! It has a private pool, and there's also a family room, so you can rest assured when bringing your baby. 👶 🏊‍♀️ The pool outside is a perfect photo spot! Make sure to wear a swimsuit, and your photos will be stunning! 🌳 Whether you're traveling to Xishuangbanna or looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the perfect choice! Come and experience it! 💕

#Zoo The Wild Elephant Valley is located in the suburbs of Jinghong City, a 40-minute drive away. It is the most attractive forest park and wild elephant viewing area in Xishuangbanna. At present, most of the wild elephants in the mainland live in the tropical rainforest here. It is the place where wild elephants are most concentrated and frequent. I strongly recommend that you must come here👍 🐘When you enter the Wild Elephant Valley, you usually visit the Butterfly Garden, Monkey Garden, Snake Garden and other attractions first. The elephant show will not start until 2 pm. If you want to get close to the elephants, you can make an appointment for an additional paid group tour. Not only will there be staff to introduce the daily conservation and migration history of wild elephants, but you can also help the elephants bathe and feed food at close range. It is very entertaining and educational. It is a very suitable attraction for parent-child travel.
