Can you really have fun on a group tour to Xishuangbanna? Day 2-3 - Done!

The group tour in Xishuangbanna lasts for two and a half days, so I'm combining them into one post~ We went to a jade store early yesterday morning~ Overall, it's much cheaper here than in Kunming, to the extent of one less zero~ If you really need something, you might consider it~ But after all, it's just an accessory... I think it's okay to buy a cheaper one... The markup is still pretty big~ Something worth over 8000 is only worth about 1k~ Then we were taken to a latex shop~ I thought there wouldn't be any latex shops after the previous incident... but I couldn't escape it... Latex isn't expensive... The group bargained fiercely... A 10cm mattress + 2 pillows + 2 quilts and two children's pillows only cost about 8k... It was really tempting~ But when I smelled it closely, there was a bit of a pungent smell... The one I bought in Thailand only had the scent of latex~ So I didn't buy it~ They said later that it might contain a larger amount of rubber~ In the afternoon, we went to the main Buddha temple~ It's very big~ You can choose to ride the electric car or not~ We were given 3 hours to visit~ There were a lot of people taking pictures, it's very suitable for Dai clothing, and you can also go to the water-splashing square at 4 pm to watch the performance and participate in the Water-Splashing Festival~ It was very hot~ The water dried up quickly~ At 5 pm, there was a performance in the Peacock Garden where peacocks were released from the top of the mountain~ It was quite stunning~ But it was too hot~ Be sure to do a good job with sun protection~ In the end, they went to participate in the bonfire party~ We went to drink tea next door~ We originally wanted to go to the Starlight Market, but it was too early, so we plan to rush over when we go out to eat in a couple of days~ This morning, we went to a Dai family house which is actually another shopping spot~ Mainly selling silver~ However, a cup that costs 1080 in Lijiang is only 608 here~ Many people bought it again...... Then we went to a Miao clinic~ But not many people bought anything~ Almost everyone would ask if it's for kidney deficiency haha~ Seeing that I was quite healthy, they went to see the elderly behind me~ And I discovered something amazing~ Everything in the local Carrefour supermarket is more expensive than in the small shops outside... The small shops really have beautiful prices and fresh goods~ I also found a farmers' market~ Pineapples cost 3.5 per jin, and you can buy a big one for 14-15, super sweet, no need to soak in water~ I bargained for custard apples down to 15 per jin, bought 3 bigger than my fist for only 44~ It was great~ There were also Thai green mangoes, priced around 5 yuan per jin~ Then in the evening, we had a super delicious barbecue~ Small ones for one yuan each, medium ones for five yuan, and the biggest ones for ten yuan~ Grilled fish for only 15 yuan~ Mainly because it was really delicious~ After that, it's free time~ Finally, we can play happily~
