Regret not seeing this guide before going to Xishuangbanna

Attention, everyone! Compared to summer, the winter travel experience in Xishuangbanna is even better. Here, there is no cold wind, only a warm and pleasant climate and unique border exoticism, so you can easily have a great trip. I have compiled a super practical Xishuangbanna travel guide for everyone, including real experiences and tips to avoid pitfalls, so save it quickly! I. Tips to avoid pitfalls 1. Clothing preparation: The temperature in Xishuangbanna in December is basically above 20℃, so there is no need to bring a lot of thick clothes. It is enough to bring light summer clothes, plus a thin coat and long sleeves and trousers to cope with the temperature difference between morning and evening. 2. Transportation planning: Direct flights to Xishuangbanna are expensive, so it is recommended to fly to Kunming first, and then transfer to Xishuangbanna by plane or high-speed train, which can save a lot of money. 3. Scenic spot transportation: Starting from Xishuangbanna Airport or high-speed railway station, you can purchase direct scenic spot bus tickets to Gaozhuang and Water-Splashing Square through the mini program, which only costs 5 yuan, which is convenient and affordable. 4. Photo outfits: Sisters who want to take beautiful photos do not need to buy Dai clothes in advance. Just choose them at the night market. The price is 20-60+ yuan, the styles are diverse, and the cost performance is super high. 5. Dress etiquette: When going to temples, do not wear clothes that expose your shoulders and legs. Taking photos in Dai costumes in parks, forests and other places will produce great photos. II. Recommended attractions 1. Manting Park: This used to be the Dai King's Royal Garden. It not only has the magnificent Dai King's Palace, but also the Royal Garden planted with exotic flowers and plants. It is very photogenic. 2. The Temple of the Whole Body: Local residents often come here to burn incense and make wishes. It is not large in scale and can be visited together with Manting Park. However, you should pay attention to your dress and respect local customs. 3. Daixiang Water City: As the filming location of "Tales by the River", this is a free small park. The red brick Dai-style buildings are unique, with few people and beautiful scenery, making it very suitable for taking pictures. 4. Bannya Temple: The temple is white overall, giving people a sense of sacredness, purity and tranquility. On sunny days, the reflected photos taken with the help of mirrors or water are amazing. 5. Dajin Pagoda Temple: A holy place of Southern Buddhism. Go there at 3 or 4 pm, and you can go to the Starlight Night Market next to it after the tour. 6. Starlight Night Market: Asia's top night market, with bright lights, gorgeous and bustling night scenes, and lively atmosphere. 7. Manhe'na Natural Village: Located in the city, it is a quiet Dai ancient village in the bustling area. Here you can experience the most authentic Dai customs and habits. III. Food recommendations 1. Mandou Street Barbecue: The meat skewers are full of portions, delicious and affordable. Banana roti is also a classic delicacy that should not be missed. 2. Featured snacks: Mashed chicken feet and Vietnamese small rice noodle rolls are sour and sweet, which are very appetizing. After the meal, have a bowl of Paoluda, which is rich in taste, sweet and refreshing. IV. Accommodation suggestions Do not easily trust the recommendations of touts. It is recommended to compare prices on multiple platforms and make a decision after comprehensively considering factors such as price, location and evaluation.
