Absolutely stunning! The most beautiful botanical garden I've ever visited. Perfect for taking amazing photos. We drove there because it was great with both adults and children; parking was plentiful, and there's a shuttle bus after entering. It's a great place to explore without getting tired. The only downside was that it was difficult to hire an official guide, so we politely listened in on other people's tours. I feel that a guided tour would definitely make the experience much more rewarding.

Manting Royal Park has a nice environment, but it's very crowded with tour groups, making it crowded for taking photos. Everyone who comes to Xishuangbanna should visit it. The scenery is beautiful, but parking can be a real hassle if you arrive late. You can only park in the surrounding area. If it's a holiday, I suggest taking a taxi, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you can't find a parking spot.

The scenic area is about a 90-minute drive from the city center. It boasts well-developed facilities, including electric shuttle buses, making transportation convenient. The elephant show is a highlight. Prices within the scenic area are reasonable. Visiting during off-peak hours is recommended.

The entrance fee to the Dai Ethnic Garden is not expensive, but the sightseeing bus fare inside is quite expensive at 60 yuan per person. Moreover, the staff said that if you want to see the water splashing, you can't sit on the sightseeing bus and have to walk. The management is rather chaotic and needs improvement.

Thanks to Guide No. 93, Xingxing, for my Jinuo Mountain rainforest hike, the experience was absolutely fantastic! His explanations were incredibly clear and fluent, covering even the smallest details of the rainforest, which I learned a lot from. The route was perfectly planned, making the hike very comfortable and effortless. The activities were fun and exciting, and I had a blast the whole time. The best part was the photography; Xingxing took amazing pictures, with perfect composition and angles, and he was also very humorous, ensuring we had a great time. He's definitely worth choosing!

First, I must commend the view of Jinghong City from Mingjingtai; it's truly spectacular. Second, the Giant Buddha is particularly awe-inspiring and reassuring. The Zhuangkai Golden Pagoda and its reflection in the water are also fantastic. However, the ticket price is exorbitantly high. The entrance fee, sightseeing bus, and Mingjingtai (after a 10 RMB discount using points) totaled 138 RMB. Yet, this is built on the site of the former Jingpiao Buddhist Temple, a place steeped in centuries of history, but there's not even a decent introduction to it. Some of the Buddha halls (Longevity Hall) are just plain white walls inside—what can you say about that? 138 RMB for absolutely no historical significance! 😮‍💨

The journey with this amazing tour guide was so therapeutic! They patiently guided us throughout, never rushing us, and their explanations of the historical anecdotes and local customs were vivid and thorough, like listening to an immersive story. They even thoughtfully offered tips on photo spots and avoiding common pitfalls, making the experience truly exceptional!

The park is small and has a vintage feel. It's very clean, and the security guards are very friendly and patient in answering questions. I suggest adding a toilet seat to the restrooms for the elderly.

The scenery was beautiful, but since it's this season, most of the fruits were gone. Besides some papayas and jackfruits, there were very few others. However, it's still worth a visit for tourists from northern regions.
