Xishuangbanna Starlight Night Market

Starlight Night Market is located in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong, Xishuangbanna, next to the famous Golden Pagoda. This romantic night market is full of Southeast Asian style, combining food, Buddhist culture, and folk crafts. When night falls, the market lights up, and hundreds of temporary stalls open for business, creating the most beautiful night view in Xishuangbanna. It is said to be the largest night market in Asia. Next to the night market is the Golden Pagoda, also known as the Myanmar Golden Pagoda. The base of the pagoda is made of bricks, with niches on the walls, some of which contain Buddha statues. The pagoda itself is golden, and although it is not known if it is made of pure gold, the spire is dazzling in the night light. When night falls and the lights come on, the Golden Pagoda becomes a bright and dazzling "pearl" of Xishuangbanna! Behind the Golden Pagoda, there are hundreds of stalls, with colorful oil-paper umbrellas and lights creating a unique Southeast Asian night market style. It is spectacular and romantic, and you don't have to go to Thailand to see a Southeast Asian-style night market. It is best to go to the night market in the evening, first to enjoy the sunset at the Golden Pagoda, then to the night market to eat delicious food, and when you are tired, you can sit down and watch the ethnic song and dance performances on stage and listen to the wandering singers play and sing folk songs. Parking near the night market is tight, so it is best not to drive there. Jinghong is not a big city, so you can take a taxi or walk there.
