Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences Travel Tips

🛣️Route and Transportation: • 🚗Electric Shuttle: CNY 50 per person for the West Area, and an additional CNY 50 per person for the East Area💸. If you have good stamina and plenty of time, you can walk around the West Area🚶‍♂️ to avoid detours and long queues🕒. • 🚌Public Transport: Buses depart from Banna Bus Station from 8:15 am, CNY 25 per person💵, and take about 1.5 hours to the entrance🕙; you can also take a bus from Gaozhuang🚌. 🌸Season and Attractions: • 🌼Best Season: Victoria water lilies usually bloom from June to October🌺, and are rare in winter; the popular photo spot "Lonely Tree in Full Bloom" is in the Hundred Flowers Garden🌳, and is only available in summer and autumn🍂. • 🌲East Area and West Area: The East Area is a primeval forest🌴. If you have already been to Jinuo Mountain Rainforest🚶‍♂️, you can skip the East Area🚫 and focus on the West Area🔍, which has forest lawns🏞️, flower fields🌸, hot air balloons🎈, and other attractions. 💸Consumption: • 🍴Food: The park is large🏞️, and there are few dining spots🍽️, so you can bring water and food in advance🍔. Snacks such as grilled sausages, grilled corn🌽, rice noodles🍜, coffee☕, and milk tea🥤 are available, but there may be no hot water for instant noodles🚫. • 🛍️Shopping: Be cautious when shopping in the park🤔, and avoid buying unnecessary items🚫. ⚠️Other Notes: • 🦟Mosquito Bites: Bring mosquito repellent🧴, as there are many mosquitoes in Banna🐜. You can wear long skirts👗 to protect against mosquitoes and the sun☀️. • 📸Photo Preparation: We recommend wearing white clothes and skirts👗, which look better in photos📷.
