It's time to go to the Dai King's Royal Garden to enjoy the flowers and the spring scenery!

Manting Park, located at No. 35 Manting Road, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna with a history of over 1300 years. It was originally the royal garden of the Dai King. Manting Park is beautiful all year round and is very suitable for flower viewing and spring outings, especially this season, when the park is filled with colorful flowers, which are incredibly beautiful. Here's a travel guide you can 'get' below⬇️ 1. Enter the park before 10:50, first go to Zhangha Pavilion to enjoy the 11 o'clock performance, which depicts the scene of the Dai King and his consort strolling through the royal garden in spring, full of Southeast Asian charm. 2. Then visit the resplendent Dai King's official residence to feel the royal grandeur of the Dai family, a great place for photos. 3. Next to the official residence is the Dai ethnic musical instrument museum, where you can see instruments like the elephant foot drum. 4. Walking out of the official residence, you will enter the Dai King's Royal Garden, where the pond is filled with lotus flowers, making for a refreshing and pleasant stroll. 5. Then go to the Royal Orchid Garden, where you can experience the strong tropical atmosphere and see a wide variety of vegetation. 6. Afterwards, visit Chengxin Pagoda, which is also one of the great spots for photography. 7. Then go to the Twin Pagodas, typical of the Bagan-style architecture in Myanmar, made entirely of red bricks, with the second floor being a good spot for photos. 8. Then walk along the Release Lake to the Octagonal Gallery Bridge to enjoy the panoramic view of the lake, and then visit the Wishing Corridor. 9. Check out the elephant performance at 14:50, after which you can buy some food to feed the elephants and have a close encounter with them. 10. Check out the parrot performance at 15:40, and watch them perform various acrobatics. 11. Then stroll along the waterfront promenade, enjoying the lake view, and you can buy some grain to feed the fish and then the swans. 12. Afterwards, visit the White Pagoda, which does not house Buddha statues, so you can freely take photos. 13. Then check out the statue of the Earth Goddess, where you can wash your hands for good luck. 14. Finally, exit through the back door, which is the south gate, to tour the Zongfo Temple, which does not require an entrance fee. Remember that Zongfo Temple does not allow entry with exposed waists, thighs, or backs. It's recommended to bring a light jacket, which won't affect your visit or hinder you from wearing Dai clothing for photos.
