Top ten scenic spots in xishuangbanna tourism
1, Shuangjing in Gaozhuang West+Starlight Night Market+Shwedagon Pagoda.
Speaking of Xishuangbanna, everyone's inherent impression is that it has a wide variety of tropical fruits and its magical tropical rain forest natural landscape, and the Shuangjing in Gaozhuang is the other side of Xishuangbanna, a newly developed artificial scenic spot, imitating the style of Southeast Asia, next to the Lancang River (called Mekong River when it flows to Southeast Asia). Zhuangxi Shuangjing is in A Dai, which means "Nine Towers and Twelve Villages" in Chinese, aiming at recreating the ancient scenery of Jinghong and creating a prosperous "Jinghong City in the City". Xishuangbanna is quiet during the day, and at night, the night view of Zhuangxi will open the carnival mode.
2. Jinghong shwedagon pagoda
The tower is 66.6 meters high, which means that a river connects six countries (China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam). The night is more brilliant, and people can't help but linger, as if they were in Thailand.
3. Starlight Night Market.
It is the largest and most distinctive night market in the Great Golden Triangle. It contains all the arts, cultures and dreams. There are little surprises waiting for you to discover in every corner. There are countless Dai delicacies and handicrafts here, accompanied by the songs of street performers.
4. Man Ting Park.
Man Ting Park, the royal garden of the Dai King, is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna. Although the park is small, the scenery is pleasant, reflecting the trend of tropical rain forest everywhere. There is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, which is intoxicating. Man Ting Park Lancang River Mekong River Night bonfire party "Lancang River Mekong River Night" is a song and dance party launched by Jinghong Man Ting Park, which mainly displays the folk songs and dances, customs and costumes of Xishuangbanna and Lancang River Mekong River Basin.

7. Look up at the tree in the sky.
I believe most people have seen the movie Avatar, and some of them were shot here. Wangtianshu Scenic Area is the only place in China where you can experience the tropical rain forest from three aspects: water, land and air. The densely growing Cephalotaxus is a giant in the rainforest and the most representative tree species in Southeast Asia. The towering trunk of the tree can reach 70- 100 meters, which is the most attractive air corridor in the scenic spot. With dozens of trunks, a 34-meter-high suspended suspension bridge is built, winding for hundreds of meters, overlooking the whole tropical rainforest from the air. In addition, you can get in close contact with the tropical rain forest and watch the five wonders of the rain forest: Bangen, strangulation, parasitic epiphyte, dripping leaves and old stems falling in love with spring.

It is the last minority among 56 ethnic groups. The Jinuo population is about 20,000. This nation is a nation that directly transited from primitive socialism, that is, the so-called "nation that came from primitive society", so it has preserved many primitive customs and ethnic customs.
