Hotels in Mengle Buddha Temple Scenic Area, Jinghong

Staying at the 'Wanda Yi Hua All-suite Hotel Xishuangbanna' was simply perfect for a long-term vacation! All rooms are independent suites with separate living rooms and bedrooms, offering incredibly spacious accommodations. With a fridge and washing machine included, it's ideal for extended stays, trips with friends, or family getaways. ✨ The hotel boasts lush tropical Dai-Thai gardens, dense with greenery and fresh air. You might even spot peacocks strolling around. The outdoor pool is incredibly photogenic, and an evening breeze by the pool is incredibly therapeutic. Located in the quiet and peaceful Mananfeng Resort area, it's a perfect escape from the bustling city crowds. During the day, we took a taxi straight to Manan Ancient Village (super close to the hotel!). It's a niche, authentic Dai village that hasn't been overly commercialized. You'll find traditional Dai stilt houses, Dai brocade, and Dai pottery, showcasing the intangible cultural heritage. You can watch locals weaving and making pottery, and even try some DIY crafts. On weekends, there's a 'Ganbai' market with plenty of Dai snacks and tropical fruits, offering a vibrant atmosphere. Every photo taken captures the perfect vibe! 📸 Staying in a comfortable suite hotel and exploring an authentic Dai village – this is the right way to experience Xishuangbanna! No rushing, just pure relaxation. ~

I initially booked for one night, but some inconsiderate guests in a nearby room were making a racket until 1 or 2 AM, even with noisy children. So, for the next two nights, I moved to a room on the top floor, which was much better. The 8th floor was unbearable; I heard several other guests also requested to be moved from the 8th floor!

InterContinental Xishuangbanna Resort, located on the former site of the Dai King's Palace, offers a rich tropical garden ambiance, making you feel like you've stepped into Southeast Asia as you stroll through the grounds. The resort's environment is beautiful, and the architecture is full of exotic charm. The room facilities are well-maintained, clean, and tidy. We transferred from another hotel and missed our scheduled activity time, but the staff member we were in contact with tried their best to coordinate, and the on-site colleagues actively cooperated, allowing us to successfully complete the experience without any regrets. The hotel's rice planting and tea making experiences were excellent, and the children were very engrossed. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and tasted good. You can also feed peacocks on the grounds, making it very suitable for family trips. Unfortunately, our itinerary was tight, so we only stayed for one night. We left wanting more and look forward to having the opportunity to return for a longer stay next time.

As the car pulled up in front of the hotel, before the weariness of the journey could even linger, a gentle breeze lifted me up—the driver who had picked me up was already waiting at the airport. The ride was smooth, and his descriptions of Xishuangbanna's flora and fauna already made me feel at home. But the moment I stepped into Yakatu, that warmth transformed into a sense of comfort, like returning to a long-missed home. The most unforgettable thing was the luggage. I was looking at the two heavy suitcases in the trunk, feeling worried, when a young man in a crisp white uniform quietly approached and said softly, ”Leave them to me.” Without waiting for my thanks, he carried one suitcase in each hand, striding ahead. His back was clean and composed, as if he weren't carrying luggage, but rather taking over someone else's weary journey. This was a huge help—at that moment, my shoulders felt lighter, and my heart settled down. Passing through the verdant courtyard, the beauty of this place slowly came into view. The lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see, like ink splashed across the landscape. Tall coconut palms and shorter, unfamiliar broad-leaved plants grew densely yet gracefully. Hot spring pools were scattered throughout this verdant expanse, their steam rising like the earth's breath, blending seamlessly with the faint outlines of distant mountains. The dampness of the rainforest climate mingled with the fragrance of unknown flowers, creating a languid tranquility that made one want only to find a wicker chair, do nothing, and simply watch the twilight light slowly creep across the stone steps. The facilities were impeccable, exuding understated elegance. The rooms were simple yet warm, the wood grain complementing the pristine white sheets. The lighting was perfectly warm and yellow, and drawing back the curtains revealed a summery atmosphere. But what truly brought everything to life was the people. Those smiles are unforgettable. Whether at the front desk, in the corridor, or in the restaurant in the early morning, every encounter is greeted by a smile that emanates from the heart—genuine, warm, and comforting, like the sunshine of Xishuangbanna. When having breakfast, the auntie cooking the rice noodles will thoughtfully ask if you want it spicy or if you like mint leaves. By the coffee machine, a girl will always gently remind you that the milk foam in your cappuccino should be drunk while it's hot. The free breakfast is incredibly lavish, with sweet fruit juice, freshly baked buns, and steaming hot rice noodles, all served on a clean white porcelain plate. Accompanied by the lush greenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, it becomes the brightest start to the day. And that free cup of coffee, held in hand, sitting in the courtyard watching the mist dissipate, reveals a warm aftertaste amidst the bitter aroma. In such a place, one unconsciously relaxes, even slowing down one's pace. It's not that this place feels like home, but there are moments when you genuinely feel as if you belong here—this is probably what ”feeling at home” means. There's no need for formalities or restraint; everything is carefully considered, yet subtly: the girl who cleans the room always comes by quietly when you're out, leaving behind neatly folded towels and a few freshly picked frangipani flowers; when you return at night, the porch light is always on, and even the air is filled with tranquility. On the morning of my departure, the same driver was still waiting at the door, and the same efficient figure carrying my luggage. I stood on the stone steps in the courtyard and glanced back. The hot spring pool was still shrouded in mist, and the morning light was filtering through the banana leaves, scattering golden fragments on the ground. The scenery was beautiful, and the facilities were excellent. These things could perhaps be learned elsewhere, but the unadorned kindness and warmth between people could not be learned, nor could they be forgotten. This trip to Xishuangbanna, thanks to Yakatu, left an exceptionally warm and lasting impression.

My stay at the Mercure Hotel DAFOSI was fantastic! The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always quick to respond to any requests. The rooms are well-equipped and well-maintained, feeling very new. The hotel is surrounded by lush green parks, offering a tranquil environment with plenty of fresh air. It's also super convenient for sightseeing and dining, with Manting Imperial Garden, Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Manhena Ancient Village, and Manyangguang Night Market all nearby. You truly get the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion when you're in, and bustling attractions right outside your door.

For this price and these amenities, honestly, it's quite good. It's relatively close to the airport, but quite far from Gaozhuang, so it depends on your needs. It's very quiet here. However, the floor to the left of the tatami bed is a bit soft, which is a minor flaw. Before coming to Xishuangbanna, I thought I couldn't get a good hotel at this price, but after arriving, I realized how great it is! There are cheap and well-equipped hotels here. I hope other cities can learn from this.

The two infinity pools are so stunning, they left me speechless! Like two sparkling sapphires, set amidst this tranquil rainforest 💎. Far from the city's hustle and bustle, soaking in the pool, gently surrounded by lush greenery, I closed my eyes and all I heard was the white noise of nature. It felt as if the whole world had quieted down, and my mind and body instantly relaxed. That feeling was simply blissful 😌! Waking up in the morning, gently pushing open the window, my eyes were met with the vibrant life of the tropical rainforest, as if I had stepped into a green fairy tale world 🌳. After sunset, looking out over the peaceful night view, with the symphony of insects chirping around me, all my worries drifted away. This immersive nature experience was truly therapeutic ~. The room facilities are incredibly comprehensive. A fridge, washing machine, and even a hair straightener are thoughtfully provided, making my stay feel as comfortable and free as being at home 😎. The Yunnan rice noodles for breakfast were super delicious – one bite and a wave of happiness spread through my mouth 🥰. And the afternoon tea was fantastic! Sitting by the pool, sipping cocktails and enjoying fresh fruit, life couldn't be sweeter 🥭! The service was absolutely impeccable! The 24-hour butler was on call, and whatever I needed was addressed immediately. They also arranged airport transfers and even a travel photoshoot, offering a one-stop service that saved me time and effort, allowing me to fully enjoy my wonderful vacation 🥳. Whether it's for a romantic getaway or a family holiday, this place is super suitable and will definitely leave you with unforgettable memories!

The stay was fantastic! Everyone from the front desk and guest rooms to the restaurant staff was incredibly polite, greeting guests daily. The rooms were spotless and each had a balcony and a small refrigerator. The front desk staff were especially welcoming, proactively recommending nearby restaurants and attractions. Taxis were also readily available. Highly recommend this place! [winking face emoji]

🥨🥨🥨🥨Highly, highly recommend this guesthouse! I hope everyone coming to Xishuangbanna considers M~ORIGINAL VILLA! 🌟The hotel's design aesthetic is spot on, and the facilities and environment provide a great experience. It's located right at the entrance of Manhenna Village, making it super convenient for taxis and getting in and out. 🌂The owner is a young, travel-loving individual, very thoughtful and easy to chat with. On our second day, because we had a very late flight, they helped us extend our check-out to 2 PM. After we checked out, we were chatting downstairs and they even made us drinks! 🧉The tamarind juice was refreshing and delicious. There was also a tamarind Americano, which unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try – I hope other friends who visit can try it for me! As someone who dislikes snack streets, crowds, and chaotic traffic, always worrying about getting stepped on and dirty, M~ORIGINAL VILLA saved me. The first day I stayed in Gaoguang, it was just too many people, so I immediately switched guesthouses overnight to M~ORIGINAL VILLA. For those like me who want a quiet, leisurely stroll through cute little shops, this is a great option to consider. BTW, the dry pot beef at Longjiyuan recommended by the owner was so delicious 😋😋😋 Hope to see you again soon! 👋

Choosing accommodation in Xishuangbanna was a long and agonizing process. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing online before finally deciding on this guesthouse. The feedback and reviews were very positive, so I booked a four-night stay in a family room. Environment: The guesthouse itself was excellent. It was kept very clean and bright every day, and the courtyard was beautiful. The tropical plants combined with the Dai-style architecture created a charming Dai atmosphere. The guesthouse is very close to the high-speed rail station and Gasa Airport, both about a 20-minute taxi ride (without traffic). Located in Manhena Ancient Village, it's a short walk to the village. When I checked in, new buildings were under construction around the village, making the access route a little difficult, but it didn't affect my travel or accommodation. It was very quiet and peaceful. Service: The owners, a young couple, were always very kind and polite. They even brought extra fruit and tea every few days, and a four-night stay included a free ticket to Manting Park. One airport/train station pick-up service: The guesthouse offered one airport/train station pick-up service, which I opted for. The owner had arranged for Didi (a ride-hailing service) in advance, and the service was very thoughtful. Beautiful Dai Costume Photoshoot: Let me talk about the Dai costume photoshoot offered by the guesthouse. It seems to be a collaboration with several guesthouses in the area. Each room comes with two complimentary retouched photos. Makeup is done at the guesthouse while waiting, and the photoshoot takes place within the guesthouse and the ancient village, all free of charge. The photographer shoots in several scenes, and when you return to the guesthouse to select photos, there's an extra charge for photos beyond the complimentary ones. The price was much higher than I expected. No raw photos are provided; you get the retouched images directly after selecting them, and the photos are provided according to the package. However, to be fair, although it's more expensive than those travel photography studios online, the photographer is very skilled, and the photos are all very good. With the retouching, the final photos far exceeded my expectations, so I still highly recommend it. If you have the budget, it's worth it! Also, the photos have a retro style, and the Dai costumes are all vintage-style, without the overly ornate shawls found in other travel photography studios, which perfectly complements the ancient village! Finally, I'd like to mention that the guesthouse isn't located in a very lively tourist area, but it's about a 15-minute taxi ride to places like the riverside night market or the Starlight Night Market, costing around 17 or 18 yuan each time.
