Silver Pagoda｜Xishuangbanna Boruo Temple has a clear dress code
Visit Boruo Temple (Boruo Pagoda) in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna. Boruo Temple is not large and differs from many travel bloggers' descriptions online. If you want to take photos here, it is recommended to first offer incense or simply pay respects to show respect (personal opinion).
Boruo Temple has a clear dress code (e.g., no short skirts). During the visit, you can still hear monks reminding visitors through loudspeakers to put on jackets and not to take photos in tank tops.
Sometimes, we need to think from a different perspective. Although taking photos here is beautiful, I hope everyone does not just chase 'traffic' and 'enthusiastically check-in'.
💞Brief History of Boruo Pagoda
In the 3rd century BCE, the third king of the Maurya Dynasty, Ashoka, unified most of India, creating the largest empire in Indian history. Ashoka was a devout Buddhist, generously supporting monks and sending nine missionary groups to spread Buddhism domestically and abroad. The eighth group reached Suvarnabhumi, which includes Lower Burma and Central and Southern Thailand. Later, Buddhism spread to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and other Southeast Asian countries. In the 7th century CE, Buddhism was introduced to the Dai and Sirang ethnic groups in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China, and has been passed down to this day.
In the 295th year of the Dai calendar (833 CE), Elder Phra Maha Ananda led a group of monks to Xishuangbanna to spread Buddhism. With the support of King Chao Phongmara, and the villagers led by Phra Yajeng of Manzhen Village, Phra Yabalanmashan of Manying Village, and Phra Lanmapongong of Manzhuangxie Village, they built the Boruo Pagoda. The pagoda's core is 122 feet deep (about 8.5 meters), and it is said to enshrine two strands of the Buddha's hair. From 1628 to 1644 CE, the pagoda was rebuilt, and four Buddha relics were placed in its core.
💞Tips～
A. Transportation Guide: Self-drive or taxi, navigate to 'Boruo Temple'.
B. Ticket Cost: Free.
C. Nearby Attractions: Great Buddha Temple, etc.
D. Nearby Hotels: Xishuangbanna Yuntou Sheraton Hotel, etc.

Stayed at a Morandi-style hotel in Xishuangbanna.
❤️This hotel is located in the bustling commercial area in the city center, in Gaozhuang, and it only takes a few minutes to walk to the Starlight Night Market. The hotel has a free sightseeing car for pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient for travel.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I was attracted by the spacious and bright lobby. The hotel is Morandi-style, which is very comfortable to watch.
The hotel room is fully intelligent home, and the toilet is also. The bed in the room is comfortable and spacious, and I sleep until dawn.
The hotel's interior is lush with green plants, as if entering a tropical rainforest.
There is a constant temperature swimming pool on the first floor, and there is also a popular swan swimming ring that can be borrowed for clocking in and taking pictures, which is very outstanding.
The hotel has a free breakfast, a wide variety, and a full meal~

A hidden gem in Xishuangbanna that's about to blow up: a cliffside hotel.
After a series of unfortunate events during my Mid-Autumn Festival trip to Xishuangbanna, including closed attractions, heavy rain, and a midnight hotel change, I finally found a silver lining: the Xiyue VINVANA Hidden Resort was the right choice for this trip.
🏞️ Hidden in the mountains and sea
Located on the top of Nanlian Mountain, each villa is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, providing a luxurious and secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
🌅 Cliffside mountain views
Whether it's the first light of dawn or the setting sun, you can enjoy unobstructed cliffside mountain views. Wake up to the magnificent natural scenery from the comfort of your bed.
🌠 Dreamy night views, accompanied by the stars
When night falls, you can see the lights of the city of Banna in the distance and the stars above, immersing yourself in the tranquility and vastness of the universe.
🍽️ Cliffside restaurant, double the enjoyment
Dine at the hotel's restaurant, which is open to the public. As soon as you walk in, you'll be amazed by the beauty. The mountain breeze blows through the curtains above your head, giving you a full vacation vibe.
🛎️ Thoughtful service, warm companionship
I must praise the hotel's butler, who was very thoughtful throughout our stay, from before check-in to check-out. On the day of check-out, they got up at 5 a.m. to pack breakfast for us because we had an early flight. So touching 🥰
In conclusion, Xiyue is definitely worth a visit. I first heard about it from a travel show featuring Gulnazar and Yang Di. It exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely come back to Banna just for it.
📍300 meters southwest of Nanlian Mountain Campsite, Jinghong Gasa Town (about half an hour's drive from Gasa Airport)

[Rose] I also like the decoration style
There is a bathtub in the room, so you can take a comfortable bath at night🉑
It was recently renovated and the smell is still a bit pungent. There is a fruit supermarket downstairs and the speakers are too noisy.

📍Siwa Oasis Resort Hotel
🏠Century Jinyuan Taojiang Garden (11-2)
The hotel is located in a villa area, surrounded by greenery, very pleasant, not in the bustling city, very quiet at night and slept very well.
Convenient travel, not far from Gaozhuang Night Market, Manting Park, and the Big Buddha Temple.
We chose a king-size room, the room is spacious and bright, the bedding is comfortable, the toiletries are high-end, with a faint woody sandalwood scent, which I like very much. Dyson hair dryer + Miguang makeup mirror, very friendly to women. Safe, mini fridge, garment steamer, various tea sets, reflecting the high taste of the room.

Whether you are vacationing here with your lover, best friend, or bringing your kids and the whole family, it is a very good choice!
A niche hotel in Xishuangbanna that has become very popular
It hasn't officially opened yet, but I happened to stay there. It's quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, naturally secluded, and located just outside the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market. The exterior has a sense of understated luxury, reminiscent of walking in Gangnam, Seoul. It offers great privacy with a gated entrance that prevents any disturbances.
Although it's newly renovated, there's no pungent smell in the rooms. Instead, there's the fragrance of solid wood, which is very calming.
Shierlan by day and Shierlan by night have two different faces. The riverside view is stunning, with a serene and comfortable atmosphere that discourages idle visitors. However, I prefer the time when night falls. The infinity pool reflects the Lancang River Bridge, and being immersed in such an atmosphere makes you want to do nothing but enjoy the breeze and daydream, quietly waiting for time to pass. It's a kind of enjoyment...

Xishuangbanna Day 5 Accommodation | A Touch of Luxury Hidden in the Bustle
| A Touch of Luxury Hidden in the Bustle.
Today, I want to share with my sisters the hotel we stayed at on our last day in Xishuangbanna!
EASE VILLA HOTEL!
The hotel is also located in the bustling area of Gaozhuang Xishuang scenery.
The first impression this hotel gave me was full of luxury!
Right at the entrance is a super large swimming pool,
their pool is different from others,
situated between the floors,
and the color of the pool is particularly attractive,
this shade of blue under the sunlight is like the jelly sea of the Caribbean!
It looks amazing whether you take photos by the poolside or from the upper floors looking down!
The hotel rooms are also very spacious and clean,
the color scheme and layout of the rooms create a very comfortable atmosphere!
I absolutely love the combination of the large terrace and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors,
opening the curtains feels like unveiling a painting!
Next to the terrace, there is a small bathtub where you can enjoy a bath while soaking up the sun!
I suggest the sisters wear a bathrobe for photos,
with the white translucent curtains, the effect is stunningly beautiful!
The beds are very soft and comfortable to sleep on,
and the bathroom is also equipped with a wet and dry separation!
The hotel's breakfast sour sop juice is a must-try!
A very special Yunnan local beverage that you haven't tasted before,
sweet and sour!
If you're staying in Gaozhuang,
this hotel is a great choice!
