On the first day, 20 10, a group of five of us set off from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province and flew to Kunming to transfer to Banna. Because I have to wait for three hours, I temporarily decided to eat rice noodles across the bridge in the city. Many restaurants are closed because they are still in the Spring Festival holiday. It's a pity that we didn't eat the authentic rice noodles crossing the bridge, but only a bowl of small pot rice noodles, which was not bad. At 7: 20 pm, I arrived in Xishuangbanna, which I have been longing for for for a long time. I just got off the plane when a heat wave hit my face. It's too warm! You know, the temperature in Hangzhou is only 0-7 degrees. At that time, the sun had just set, and the red sunset glow shone on the whole small airport. The brakes are charming.
The beautiful Xishuangbanna is an autonomous prefecture consisting of three counties. Its capital is Jinghong and the airport is also built in Jinghong.
I did my homework online before I came to Banna, and I also booked tickets for accommodation and attractions (with discounts) on the small P Kids website opened by local people.
When we leave the airport, a driver will take us to the booked hotel for free, and then we will discuss the tourist routes and transportation for the next four days. The main scenic spots we want to visit were decided before we came. I think the most representative scenic spots in Xishuangbanna are Zhen-Dai Garden, Menglun Town-Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Mengla Town-Wangtianshu Air Corridor. After some heated discussions, we finally decided to spend 1000 yuan to charter a car to visit the three major scenic spots for two days.
Dinner was eaten at a barbecue night market near our Grand Hotel. There is a little peacock kindergarten next to it, on a branch road of Menghun Road and Civil Aviation Road. Many friends on the Internet have introduced the snacks in this night market, saying that the food here is good and good, but I don't think it is to my taste, probably because of the poor location. In particular, a big bowl of sour bamboo shoot fish smells bad, but it tastes sour and spicy, and it tastes terrible. A few other stir-fry dishes and four skewers of barbecue are ok. The two people who went with us drank four bottles of beer. The meal cost 90 yuan, and the price was moderate.
I emphasize here that friends should never stay at Guo Sheng Hotel when they go to Banna in the future. When we checked in that night, we asked for two quiet rooms. The waiter nodded, but in the end we were arranged in a room along the street on the third floor. At that time, I looked out of the window, and there were few cars on the street, so I just thought about it. But just after sleeping for about 50 minutes, I was awakened by the sound of tractors coming from the window. It was 65438+ 0 am! After that, under the repeated "bombing" of the whistle of motorcycles, tractors and buses, I never fell asleep again. I hope that time will pass faster and dawn will come earlier.
Finally, I stayed up until half past six in the morning, and it was still dark outside the window. I got up and asked the receptionist that the genius would light up after 7: 30 in the morning. I also learned that there is a vegetable wholesale farmer's market in 1 nearby, so this street is the busiest place in Jinghong from 1 in the morning until dawn, and I feel dizzy.
Just after 7 o'clock the next morning, my companion knocked at the door and said that I had not fallen asleep all night, which was very noisy. Today, I have to change to a hotel I like. I also learned online in advance that there is a three-star garden hotel called Crown Hotel nearby. We decided to visit the scene. I really don't know. I liked it at first sight. The hotel is quiet and lush with green plants, especially on the way to the two-story building where we live. On both sides are tall coconut trees, many trees unique to tropical rain forests and many colorful flowers, which are particularly pleasant.
Because the 1 building is a little damp, we choose to live on the second floor, and the price is 240 yuan/room. Although it is more expensive than 70 yuan, I think this price is too valuable, and it also fulfills the old saying "one price for one product".
After confirming the accommodation tonight, we started the next day's trip with peace of mind.
The first stop, Daiyuan, is about 70 kilometers away from Jinghong city. There is no toll station along the way, and you can enjoy the scenery of Lancang River, which is known as the "Oriental Danube". The road conditions are good, because half of the journey is Panshan Highway, and friends who suffer from carsickness should be prepared to prevent carsickness in advance.
We visited the Olive Dam Market, and the local people are very simple. I bought my daughter a kind of food with black and white glutinous rice wrapped in seaweed. It's cheap and delicious, and you can also pack grilled fish, bacon, pickles and so on. Many choices and unique taste.
About 65,438+0,000 meters away, we arrived at Dai Garden. Full fare 1 1,000 yuan/person. We bought 80 yuan/person (booked online), student 50 yuan, at a special price. There are five Dai villages in the park, where you can eat authentic Dai dishes cooked by Dai grandmothers, and several temples are worth visiting. In the afternoon, there will be a water splashing performance to fully feel the local folk customs, so that we can truly integrate into the Dai customs. We played in Dai Garden for more than 4 hours.
In the evening, I went back to the hotel and had dinner at Cai Chun Qing restaurant not far from the hotel. The address is on Man Ting Road (a restaurant that is hotly discussed on the Internet), which is owned by a Thai. The little book in the lady's hand says in Thai that the food is not ready. Just taste it and feel it. The price is slightly higher. On the way back to the hotel, we enjoyed the street view of Banna and the warm winter wind. On the roadside of Crown Hotel, there is a night market selling handicrafts. After bargaining there, I bought seven colorful national costume dolls handicrafts at the ultra-low price of 10 yuan. You know, in the national handicraft market, I can only buy three, which is very cost-effective.
On the third day, I woke up naturally in the morning and had a free Chinese and western buffet breakfast. Li Shifu, the driver and tour guide, took us to the second stop, Wangtianshu Scenic Area.
There are two toll stations along the way, *** 14 yuan (we don't have to pay), and Jinghong goes to Wangtianshu Scenic Area 190 km, which takes two and a half hours by car. We bought a package of 145 yuan/person, which is cheap in 25 yuan/person. We will bring our own lunch. The air corridor of Wangtianshu Scenic Area is "the tallest in the world and the first canopy corridor in China", which is thrilling. People with heart disease shouldn't go there to play. Next, you can also enjoy the natural landscape of Xishuangbanna tropical rain forest. You can play in the scenic spot according to the tour map. There are many clear road signs, so you won't get lost. We played for about five hours.
In the evening, we went to another scenic spot, the third stop botanical garden.
Stay at night in the hotel in the Botanical Garden (tickets are also needed, 70 yuan/person), and 200 yuan/room on the second floor of the main building. The next day, we found that the rooms on the third and fourth floors had balconies, which was very good. We ask to change to the third floor, 220 yuan/Room, so that we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden from the balcony of our room. Too much value?
On the fourth day, at 7 am, I walked out of the hotel alone. There are many bright stars in the sky, but I can't see the beautiful stars in my hometown. Unconsciously, I walked into the broad-leaved forest. Quietly, I heard the sound of dew falling on the leaves. As the sky gradually brightened, birds began to chirp, which was very nice. What a paradise on earth! ! !
Banna Tropical Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden with the richest plant diversity in China. The park is divided into two scenic spots, east and west. You can walk, rent a bike or take a tour bus. The eastern part is the tropical rainforest scenic area, and the western part is the tropical botanical garden area. We plan to focus on playing here. I rented a bicycle for two in the hotel in the morning, strolled around the western scenic spot, and then played slowly in the western scenic spot in the afternoon. Unconsciously, the day passed quickly.
For dinner, we all went to the restaurant outside the botanical garden. Last night, we walked across the suspension bridge and had dinner in Menglun Town. Tonight, we called a taxi to take us to a nearby stockade, and found a restaurant named David Building in Qing Xiang. Both meals were good and affordable.
On the fifth day, I woke my daughter up early in the morning and took her to the Woods to listen to "the sound of rain" and birds singing. I could feel the smell of wet tropical rain forest in the air. I really want to stay a few more days.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time, so I didn't go to the scenic spots in the East District. Near noon, we reluctantly left the botanical garden. We take a taxi to Menglun Town Bus Terminal, where there is a shuttle bus to Jinghong, which takes about 15 minutes, about an hour and a half. Jinghong Bus Terminal is located in the north of Monroe Avenue, and our Crown Hotel is in the middle of Monroe Avenue. Along the way, there are national handicraft market, Peacock Lake, National Square and post office selling postcards. We decided to visit buy buy and then walk back to the hotel.
In the afternoon, two people went to a tea shop, and the three of us took a taxi to Man Ting Park in the city. Tickets to 40 yuan, student tickets to 20 yuan, and exotic Man Ting Park, formerly known as Dai Wangshu Garden, are all worth seeing. Then, we went to the long-awaited tropical fruit market. There are no rare fruits around. There are all kinds of supermarkets in Hangzhou, which makes me very disappointed. However, at the farmer's market across the street, I bought authentic Dai bacon and sausages. The fruit market is on Mengla Road, next to the Armed Police Detachment. )
Dinner was treated by a local friend, and the food was very rich. Authentic Dai cuisine includes pineapple rice, hand-grabbed rice, grilled fish, barbecue, bacon, Ciba and some Bennett vegetables ... During the dinner, there were Dai Song and dance performances, and actors also came to toast. Everyone sang along and shouted "Nian-",which fully reflected the characteristics of ethnic minorities.
On the way back to the hotel, we also watched the night view of the Lancang River, and we had a good time this night. The name of the restaurant is Yuxiang David Building, which is located at Jinghong Port. You can cross the Lancang River by taking a taxi from downtown 7 yuan.
On the sixth day, the driver's master took us to the airport for free in the morning and started a day's journey home. ...
There is still extra time when I transfer at Kunming airport. We went to the flower market, and the starting price was enough. The flowers there are extremely low in price, diverse and fresh. My daughter and I swam in the sea of flowers like two small fish. After more than an hour, we finally bought two bundles home with satisfaction.
Banna has three kinds of tourist vehicles:
1. Take a bus to Jinghong Bus Terminal (locally called Tire Dumping Factory Bus Terminal). There are shuttle buses to all the scenic spots, and some of them can't go directly. You can ask the staff where to transfer. It's very convenient, and the fare is very cheap, but it takes a long time.
2. Rent a car (drive by yourself).
3. Renting a car (the driver can also be a part-time tour guide) saves time, effort and worry, in addition to saving RMB.
Tips:
There is a big temperature difference in Banna in winter, so please pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes at any time.
