I highly recommend my favorite winter travel destination: Xishuangbanna!

I'm definitely addicted to Banna. Even after returning to Chengdu for a long time, I still miss the charming scenery there: the rich ethnic customs, the lush vegetation, the magnificent temples, the starry night markets, and the handicrafts and street food. Every corner exudes irresistible charm... ………………………… ✨Tips: About Gaozhuang: Some people say that Gaozhuang is like a scenic spot in Banna specially built for tourists. This is true. You can find everything you need here, including food, accommodation, transportation, photography, and shopping. If you are also on a special forces trip, staying in Gaozhuang is definitely the right choice, as it is close to everything. ……………… 🌈Recommended Check-in Spots: ☞ Go to Jinghong Farmers' Market, the first stop in the morning, where you can find colorful fruits, fresh vegetables, and dazzling ethnic costumes. Walk through the crowd and become a part of the local life for a short time. ☞ Go to Banzhuo Temple to experience the solemnity of Theravada Buddhism and the gentleness of Southeast Asia. Standing on the top of the temple, you can overlook the entire Jinghong City. At that moment, you will feel peace and freedom in your heart. ☞ Go to Starlight Night Market to see the flashing lights and numerous stalls. The exotic dresses and dazzling handicrafts will satisfy your desire to shop! ☞ Go to Manting Park to visit the Royal Garden of the Dai King and experience the beautiful subtropical natural scenery. Take a set of Dai-style photos to enhance your travel experience. ☞ Go to the General Buddhist Temple to feel the Buddha's light. This is my favorite place in Banna. The giant Buddha is majestic and solemn, the temple is beautifully decorated, and the kittens in the temple are playful and cute. ☞ Go to the riverside night market to feel the night breeze by the Lancang River. The prices here are cheaper than those at Starlight Night Market, and most of the vendors are locals. It is a great place to buy souvenirs. ✨Tips: 1. The transportation in Banna is terrible, especially in Gaozhuang. If you are not going far, it is recommended not to rent a car. Instead, rent a small electric scooter for 28 yuan a day, which can take you to all the attractions in the city! 2. You can skip the 199 yuan photo shoot, but it is recommended to go to a photo studio for a 98 yuan makeover. You can change your look early in the morning and have a beautiful day! 3. Winter in Banna is the dry season. Even if it rains, it will clear up soon, so you don't have to worry about the weather forecast!
