Xishuangbanna is back, let's talk about the hard truth, because a song comes to a city

“Xishuangbanna, a beautiful place, the peacock flies away, the memories are long…” When the melody of “The South of Colorful Clouds” plays, the mysterious and charming style of Xishuangbanna can’t wait to get into your heart. Xishuangbanna is warm as spring in February, which is a good time to travel. Come with me to start this happy journey! Itinerary • Day 1: Starlight Night Market - Golden Pagoda When you first arrive in Xishuangbanna, you must go straight to the Starlight Night Market. When night falls and the lights come on, the whole night market seems to be enchanted and bustling. The stalls are full of special snacks, handicrafts, and ethnic costumes. You can stroll around and taste lemongrass grilled fish and Dai-style barbecue, and then have a cup of refreshing Lao iced coffee☕ The golden pagoda in the distance is magnificent, solemn, and majestic, which contrasts with the lively night market and forms a beautiful picture. • Day 2: Wild Elephant Valley - Manting Park Go to Wild Elephant Valley in the morning, which is a place frequently visited by Asian elephants. Stroll along the rainforest boardwalk, and if you are lucky, you can meet cute wild elephants and see various rare tropical plants to feel the magic of nature. In the afternoon, go to Manting Park, which used to be the royal garden of the Dai king and is full of strong Dai-style charm. The ancient buildings, quiet lakes, and beautiful flowers seem to take you back to that ancient time. • Day 3: Dai Park Dai Park in February is full of strong ethnic customs. Walk into the Dai village to experience the traditional life of the Dai people, enjoy wonderful Dai song and dance performances, and participate in the lively water-splashing activities (water-splashing activities in winter may be adjusted, subject to the park’s arrangement) to feel the hospitality of the Dai people. You can also make Dai pottery by yourself to leave a unique memory.
