Trip to Xishuangbanna

Excluding travel time, there are only three days to play, not rushing, not getting up early, the arrangement of attractions has been updated due to the inability to buy tickets, but it's not a big problem, the attractions overlap slightly (two villages). If the team has more than 6 people, a tour guide will be provided. In the end, there were only 4 people in the group. I thought that fewer people would be easier to coordinate, but the group was a novice mother with a two or three-year-old child. My son is already 12 years old, and all the way is either waiting or helping. Although it is a good exercise for him, I feel that I didn't play well. The accompanying master is very good, punctual and patient, and will help with luggage and children, which is quite hard. D1: Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Manzhang Village Because it is winter, I didn't see Victoria amazonica in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, but I saw a lot of plants I had never seen before, and it was worth the trip. The original itinerary in the afternoon was the Big Buddha Temple. Because the travel agency couldn't book the tickets, it was temporarily changed to Manzhang Village. Manzhang Village was under construction, which affected the viewing, but there were interactive games such as clay making, and I also paid for bamboo rafting. The children had a great time. D2: Ancient Tea Garden, Wild Elephant Valley, Primeval Forest, Starlight Night Market In the morning, I went to the Ancient Tea Garden. Because I have my own tea garden, I wanted to change the itinerary. Those who went with me also wanted to change, but after half a day of communication, the travel agency just disagreed, so I had to go, wasting half a day. In the afternoon, I went to the Wild Elephant Valley, watched the elephant show, fed the elephants, and hurried out. In the evening, I passed by the primeval forest and asked the master to stay for a while. I watched the last peacock release. The time was rushed. Next time, I should spend more time playing. In the evening, I went to the Starlight Night Market to take the travel photos that were sent (I feel completely unnecessary, I can give up directly next time), ate snacks, and strolled around. The Starlight Night Market is very large and the buildings are very distinctive. Next time, I can spend more time on my own. D3: Manting Park, Big Buddha Temple In the morning, I left the group for some reason and went to Manting Park at my own expense. Because I went late, I just took a quick look around. During the period, I fed the parrots and could get close to the parrots and take pictures. The child was very happy. In the afternoon, I followed the group to visit the Big Buddha Temple, participated in the water-splashing event, ate the peacock feast in the evening, the taste was average but the viewing was good, and then I went to the riverside night market (where the locals go, it's similar to the night markets in other places, there is no need to go). The accommodation experience this time was very good, 2 nights at Crowne Plaza and 2 nights at Pullman felt good, especially the room at Pullman, the exterior view was very good. There are welcome dances and clay paper making and other experiential activities in the hotel (free at Crowne Plaza, charged at Pullman), Pullman gave a travel shoot, but the time was too tight and I gave up. In addition, I feel that you can also stay near Gaozhuang, which is more lively and convenient. Xishuangbanna is indeed a kingdom of animals and plants, it's fun and worth a second visit! Points to note: 1 Don't join a group!!! The itinerary of the group can only be adjusted by the travel agency, but the tourists cannot, and the group is almost like buying a lottery ticket, and the accompanying personnel are uneven and rarely synchronized; 2 The attractions in Xishuangbanna are scattered, it is best to charter a car to travel, you can consider free travel; 3 Consider going in spring and summer next time, you can't see Victoria amazonica in winter, and the rubber trees on the mountain will shed leaves🍂, greatly reducing the landscape; 4 When booking a flight, consider going in the morning and returning in the evening to have more play time.
