It's Not Abroad! It's Xishuangbanna, So Beautiful It'll Make You Cry

Escaping the harsh winter of the north, I flew to Xishuangbanna and embarked on a fantastic journey through the tropical rainforest. The most unforgettable part of this trip was the two nights and three days I spent at the TsingShu Hot Spring Resort SAND POOL. As the car wound its way up the mountain road, through the lush tropical rainforest, the TsingShu Hot Spring Resort SAND POOL suddenly came into view, like a shining pearl embedded in the verdant mountains. The hotel's design is inspired by traditional Dai ethnic dwellings, with a focus on wooden structures, thatched roofs, and bamboo decorations, blending perfectly with the surrounding natural environment, like a hidden paradise. I stayed in the "Cloud View" pool villa, and I was immediately amazed by the view the moment I opened the door. The spacious terrace faces the endless tropical rainforest, with clouds and mist swirling around, seemingly within reach. The private pool sparkled in the sunlight, making me want to jump in for a swim right away. The interior design of the room is simple yet stylish, with wooden furniture, cotton and linen fabrics, and rattan lamps, all exuding a natural and rustic atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in Dai and Southeast Asian flavors, with fresh ingredients and authentic tastes. My favorite is the grilled lemongrass fish, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma that is unforgettable. Breakfast is served in a semi-buffet style, with a wide variety of options, including Western-style bread and salads, as well as Chinese-style rice noodles and porridge, to meet the needs of different guests. The hotel has facilities such as an infinity pool, gym, SPA, and book bar to meet the different leisure and entertainment needs of guests. My favorite is the hotel's library, which has a rich collection of books and a quiet environment, allowing people to calm down and read and enjoy a moment of tranquility. There are many attractions around the hotel, and it is close to attractions such as the Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Manting Park, and the Tropical Botanical Garden, making it easy to get around. I took some time to visit the Wild Elephant Valley and saw herds of Asian elephants playing in the river, which was a spectacular sight.
