Xishuangbanna, Yunnan | A hidden gem in the tropical rainforest

✨ What is it like to visit Xishuangbanna in winter? While others are wrapped in down jackets, I'm wearing shorts and a T-shirt in the sun. While others are eating hot pot, I'm drinking coconut water and eating jackfruit at an outdoor stall! 🌴 Must-see attractions 1️⃣ Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden 🌿 A collection of exotic flowers and plants from around the world. You can spend a whole day just in the tropical rainforest area! See the giant Victoria water lilies that can support a child, colorful tropical fruits, and learn about all kinds of plants! 2️⃣ Jinuo Mountain Village 🎭 Learn about the culture of the Jinuo people, visit the ethnic villages, and join their bonfire party. The passionate ethnic dances will instantly lift your spirits! 3️⃣ Wangtianshu Scenic Area 👣 Walk along the treetop walkway and enjoy a panoramic view of the tropical rainforest. The thrill of being suspended in the air and the sound of the wind in your ears is super relaxing! 4️⃣ Manting Park 🌸 The royal garden of the Dai king. At night, you can release sky lanterns, which is very romantic. Try on a set of Dai clothes and take a photo as a "Banna girl" that will go viral! 🍴 Food recommendations 🌶️ Dai-style hand-grabbed rice: bamboo rice, fish with sour bamboo shoots, and Dai-style cold chicken. The sour and spicy flavors are appetizing and unforgettable! 🍌 Tropical fruit feast: mangoes, coconuts, rambutans, and more!

But I think it's more like a place that slows down your pace of life. 🌞 Here, the sun sweeps away the gloom of winter, and the fresh tropical air makes you feel more relaxed than ever. Why rush through life? Like the peacocks of Xishuangbanna, flying gracefully is also a way of life. 📍 Come to Xishuangbanna and turn winter into spring!
