Introduction to poor travel in xishuangbanna tourism
Xishuangbanna is one of the earliest cities for tourism development in China, and the prices in Banna are comparable to those in big cities.
But all goods are one price for foreigners and another price for locals.
If you can have a local friend, it is cheaper to ask a friend to take you to a Dai restaurant and a Dai barbecue. Tickets for various scenic spots charge almost no money to local people, but charge high prices to foreigners;
Don't buy souvenirs as much as possible. Things in the market are expensive and don't bargain, so you can ask a tour guide or local friends to take you to buy them. What Banna can buy can also be bought elsewhere, and imported food that Banna can buy can also be bought online;
Finally, when it comes to transportation, check the route map and shuttle bus as soon as possible, which are generally available, but rarely and regularly; Otherwise, take a taxi, and you won't want to die.
Xishuangbanna autumn and winter leisure vacation strategy
Xishuangbanna, located in the northern edge of the tropics, is the most suitable place for leisure and vacation in autumn and winter. The land with the same latitude as Xishuangbanna in the world is basically occupied by savanna and desert, forming a "return desert belt", while Xishuangbanna is the only tropical rain forest in China. This oasis is like a bright emerald embedded in this "return desert belt". The vibrant tropical rain forest not only grows all kinds of strange plants, but also has a thrilling strangulation phenomenon. It also nurtures beautiful peacocks, elephants with long noses, flowers blooming all the year round, fruits everywhere, and gentle and kind Dai girls, all of which are endowed with beautiful Xishuangbanna by the creator.
According to my own experience, I compile a comprehensive strategy for Xishuangbanna leisure vacation from preparation to eating, living, traveling, traveling, entertainment and shopping. This paper only recommends hotels with high comprehensive cost-effective location, service, environment, price and room. Only the leisure and holiday routes suitable for most tourists are designed, regardless of which tourists are exploring, backpacking and "runaway". The recommended restaurants are the hottest, most distinctive and worth enjoying. The author's point of view is that traveling is a happy thing, and the money spent should be spent. Don't blindly consider saving money by looking around for ways to save money by evading tickets, taking buses and staying in private hotels. In fact, people often don't count the time cost and enjoy the fun, and the cost of doing those processes may not be worth the candle. Travel is a high consumption, so don't be extravagant and wasteful, and don't be bent on "poor travel". Leisure vacation itself is an upgraded version of sightseeing, and it is a matter for rich and idle people.
I. Preparation-List of Necessary Items
1. Sunscreen, sunglasses, umbrella and bathing suit.
2, clothes: whenever you go to Xishuangbanna, there is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing summer clothes, shoes and hats. It is always "hot" here!
3, arrival: the best plane, followed by the car, no train. The plane has 28 flights every day, so it is better to choose the discount after 10 o'clock. Don't be careful that you are late in Xishuangbanna, where nightlife doesn't start until 10 o'clock.
4. Bank: There are four major banks: China, Industry, Agriculture and Construction, and it is convenient to withdraw cash by credit card. But don't bring less cash, except for big hotels and supermarkets, you can't swipe your card, especially at the county and township level, there is only Agricultural Bank of China, and there is basically no POS machine.
5, backpacking and cycling: Xishuangbanna is a typical tropical rain forest climate, don't have the idea of carrying the most comprehensive equipment and cycling, the heat and exposure, showers and heavy rains here are easy to hurt you. Of course, if you have an athlete's body and who dares to compare with me "black" exception.
6. ID card and passport, if you bring your child's best household registration book with you. Xishuangbanna is connected with Laos and Myanmar, "going abroad is easier than going out of the province", and they all have a one-day trip to the border. If you want to go out and see exotic customs, then a license is essential.
7. Check if you belong to any category? If the belonging is opened in advance with proof:
According to the relevant regulations of the state, cadres at or above the deputy division level (including deputy division level) must hold the exit certificate issued by the local organization and personnel department, and be signed and stamped by the organization minister.
Civil servants, middle and senior managers of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, staff of public security, procuratorates, courts and other organs, middle and senior staff of special industries such as banks, and special post personnel (filing personnel) must issue exit certificates with the consent of the unit, and be signed and stamped with the official seal of the unit.
People from Xinjiang, Gansu and Tibet will not go through the exit formalities for the time being.
Second, the accommodation-cost-effective hotel
Tourism is the pillar industry of Xishuangbanna, and there are countless hotels of all sizes, but the good and the bad are mixed, and there are many "bad prices" and few real management. Leisure vacation in Xishuangbanna has not really developed, and the government is still vigorously engaged in the "second venture" and "upgrading and transformation" of tourism (from sightseeing to leisure vacation), so there are no resorts and inns in the strict sense at present. There are several inns marked with the name of the inn, which are just in the name of the inn, but not in reality-ordinary private inns with no culture, no connotation and no characteristics, and the asking price is not low, and the actual facilities are not as good as those of ordinary small hotels aimed at local people.
Therefore, we recommend several locations, services, environment, prices and rooms with high comprehensive cost performance, with prices ranging from 80-700 yuan and stars ranging from two to five.
Two stars-five stars, 80-downtown hotels in 700 yuan:
Xinsheng Hotel: Two-star, located opposite Manting Xiaozhai, a famous barbecue night market. Compared with two-star, the room facilities are OK. It is not far from the long-distance passenger station from Kunming to Xishuangbanna. Note: it is not a passenger station to various scenic spots within Xishuangbanna. The passenger station to each scenic spot is called the tire turning factory passenger station. Recently, after adjustment, the passenger train to Manfeilong Baita leaves at South Station.
Guosheng Hotel: quasi-Samsung, with a good location, has just been renovated and put into trial operation. Everyone knows that the hotel facilities just opened for half a year are the best. Renovated according to the standard of quasi-Samsung, it has an elevator and has not been listed yet. It is located next to the fruit market that tourists must visit, and it takes 5 minutes to reach the tourist shopping night market. There are many restaurants in the Nakunkang community behind it. During the day, the local Dai people sell fruits in rows on the street of the community, and at night, the locals eat authentic Dai barbecue. The barbecue here is not as famous as the legendary Manting Xiaozhai, Sanweilou and Golden Beach, but the locals live in small communities. It is a pity that the business of this hotel is booming, and it is often impossible to book.
傣园酒店附楼:三星,傣园酒店、皇冠大酒店、新傣园酒店同属于云南最“不差钱”的企业—云南烟草,统一由新傣园酒店管理有限公司管理。坚强的经济后盾,使得他们的诞生都是“干干的”,傣园酒店一开始就是与美国知名的酒店管理公司合作建设,最早的总经理都是地道的老美。用美式武装起来的服务,目前老外虽然撤退了,但仍然是西双版纳唯一的“世界金钥匙会员”酒店。与之比邻、五星级的新傣园酒店更是专门接待国家元首级的西双版纳----“钓鱼台”。挂在墙上那一溜国家领导人、外国元首、知名人士、美国基辛格等的题词、照片把傣园酒店包装得风光无限、一点都看不出要给消费者多打点折的意思。
However, the annex building of Daiyuan Hotel is a guest room set according to Samsung standard, and the price is good. Stay in the three-star guest room in the annex, have breakfast in the same restaurant as the four-star guest room in the main building and in the same courtyard as the five-star new Dai Garden. Generally speaking, the annex of Dai Garden Hotel is "three-star guest room, four-star breakfast and five-star environment", which has the highest cost performance.
Special reminder: If you don't forget to exercise when traveling, friends who love swimming all the year round must bring equipment, because even if you stay in the annex of Daiyuan Hotel, you can enjoy the gym and swimming for free as guests who stay in four-star and five-star rooms. If it was last year, you could go fishing in the lake in the back garden of the hotel, but unfortunately it has not been opened this year.
Crown Hotel: Samsung, the earliest three-star hotel in Xishuangbanna, is located in the center of the city. The tourist and shopping night market is formed after a street on the side of Crown Hotel is temporarily closed every night. The hotel is a big garden, consisting of six two-story Dai-style buildings, with first-class location, environment and service, but the "price" is also the "crown" as the name suggests. Crown Hotel is like a noble princess. It never disdains to receive travel teams that are "too cheap to understand", and its target customers are all aimed at the high-end market of business reception, so it is a word: expensive. His expensive confidence is the average annual occupancy rate of more than 80% of business customers.
At present, four small buildings have been renovated according to the four-star standard, with new decoration, LCD computers, free fruit platters and free swimming. Basically, it can be concluded that the four-star room of Crown Hotel can represent the highest level in Xishuangbanna as far as the facilities in the rooms are concerned. If you have the aristocratic idea of "staying in a five-star small room rather than a one-star big room", the room in Building 8 can also be considered. Although the price is higher than that in Buildings 3, 4 and 6 of the Golden Banna Hotel directly opposite, the location, environment and service of Crown Hotel are all reasons for its nobility.
There are still two small buildings in Crown Hotel that have not been renovated, so it is not recommended.
Golden Banna Hotel: Samsung, which is directly across the road from Crown Hotel, is different from Crown Hotel, which is reserved by nobles. It has a great reputation on the Internet, just like his old club "Yuntong". The same garden-style consists of six small buildings, three of which are specifically aimed at the business market and are expensive. The price system of Golden Banna is the most, which may be the reason. Golden Banna Hotel has a market share at all levels, and it belongs to both refined and popular tastes. Therefore, it has a great reputation and a large number of people, and various prices make many customers find the rooms they need here.
Although the price of Building No.6 in JinBanna is lower, the facilities are outdated, and the customers who have stayed in it generally do not reflect well, so it is not recommended.
Jinfeng Hotel: Samsung is a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain nest. It comes from Mengpeng Farm, which specializes in planting rubber deep in the mountains, so the appearance of the hotel is modeled after the phoenix flying high. Jinfeng Hotel is adjacent to the noble Crown Hotel and the Golden Banna Hotel. It looks unpretentious, but it is honest. It has the largest room with three rooms and a computer. If you don't use a computer, you don't have to charge. This is the only star-rated hotel in Xishuangbanna, and the price is the most acceptable. Mountain people, in fact, Jinfeng Hotel can best illustrate this point.
Jinglan Hotel: Four-star, located in the business district, surrounded by the famous Jinglan Pu 'er Tea City, with bars, cafes and tea houses all around. The most important hotel is well-decorated and distinctive. The two elephants at the door are very attractive, and the management and location are good. Surrounded by a strong commercial atmosphere, it is the first place to go to bars and taste Pu 'er tea. At present, the comprehensive cost performance is high in four-star hotels.
New Dai Garden Hotel: five-star, jointly built by Yunnan Tobacco and the reception office of Yunnan Provincial Government, specially for the reception of "Diaoyutai" in Xishuangbanna, the head of state. The best choice for state leaders, foreign heads of state, diplomatic envoys to China, celebrities and entrepreneurs like "Qian Duoduo" to visit Xishuangbanna is located in the ethnic customs garden, and the greening rate of over 80% can only be described as beautiful and luxurious. But money is not enough, it depends on whether there are any big people living in it in a few days.
Scenic resort type:
Botanical Garden Hotel: Three-star standard, the rooms in the main building are not very good and the price is expensive, but actually staying in the Botanical Garden Hotel is to feel the beautiful environment and academic atmosphere of the Botanical Garden. The botanical garden has beautiful environment, fresh air and charming flowers, so I won't go into details, but the humanistic and academic atmosphere is something that the tourism team doesn't have time to appreciate. Botanical Garden Hotel is actually developed from three small buildings called "Scientists Activity Center". The small building has been renovated and put into use on New Year's Day this year, and the surrounding environment is also the best. If you are lucky enough to stay on the second floor of the small building and look out of the window, it is full of green eyes and flowers. The most crazy thing is that broadband has been installed here. Don't forget to bring your laptop if you want to go here for a few quiet days.
Botanical Garden Hotel is not a purely commercial hotel. The signboard of "Scientists Activity Center" inscribed by Academician Wu Zhengyi is still there, and it shoulders many functions such as academic exchange, education and training, scientific research, etc. At present, there are more than 200 doctors and masters studying alone, and all of them are scientists stationed in it. Tourism is a sideline of Botanical Garden. While staying in Botanical Garden, you should go to various exhibition halls carefully to taste science and various humanities. That is called leisure. If you are lucky, you may meet a popular science lecture given by a garden physician, and scientists will be tour guides to popularize scientific and technological knowledge.
The living building of Botanical Garden Hotel is a little old, and the small building is relatively new. It is recommended to focus on the small building, especially the No.3 building with the best scenery.
Peacock Villa: It is located in the forest park eight kilometers away from the city. In everyone's mind, Xishuangbanna means peacocks flying all over the sky and elephants walking around. There are more than 3,000 sightseeing peacocks in the forest park. At present, the biggest feature is that hundreds of peacocks flying down from the mountains are spectacular. Peacock Villa is located in the park with beautiful environment and fresh air. Stay here and sleep with the peacock, which is unique. Especially for friends who bring their children to vacation and leisure, the animal performances and the little peacock that accidentally slipped by you will definitely make the children happy.
Bodhi Island Resort Hotel: As we all know, Xishuangbanna is a kingdom of animals and plants, but actually Xishuangbanna is still a soft water town. The water-like people-Dai people live by water for generations. Bodhi Island Resort Hotel is located in the Olive Dam, which is known as the peacock feather in Xishuangbanna. It is a Dai-style villa built according to the five-star standard. The whole hotel is located in a small island in the lake, surrounded by waves and frogs at night. Small buildings are unique in style and there are water golf. If you are a lover, it is the easiest place to be romantic. But the firm price requires you to be above the middle class in order to get carried away here. If a big family and a company team come out for a leisure holiday and live together in a big villa with many rooms and beds, it will be wonderful that money can't buy!
III. Traffic-Travel Choice and Precautions
1. All taxis in urban areas are in 5 yuan, but if there are 7-10 yuan taxis out of the city, go to 20 yuan airport.
Three disciplines and eight points for attention when taking a taxi:
Three disciplines:
(1) Ask about the price: If you know exactly that it is within the urban area, prepare 5 yuan money before getting on the bus and get off the bus and give it directly to the driver; If you are out of town, please ask how much it costs before you get on the bus.
(2) Don't talk to strangers: you don't have to answer any questions the driver asks you in the car; If you want to ask any questions, please get off the bus and ask the surrounding citizens. The people of Xishuangbanna are the most trustworthy, and they usually answer questions. For taxi drivers, forget it, you'd better not ask, and it's better not to take a turn when people ask you.
(3) Don't leave any information: The business card sent to you by the driver must be thrown away in the next trash can, and you must never call according to the phone number above.
Eight points for attention:
(1) Pay attention to the female driver: When you are walking in the street, a car slowly follows you and keeps calling you "Cat Miles". I will take you around the city. Please go your own way and let others call you.
(2) Be careful not to go to "fun" places: some drivers say they will take you to "fun" places, especially those that tell you that you have a beautiful Dai sister. If you go there, you must be hurt, sad and hurt.
(3) Pay attention to the joy of meeting an old friend in another country: when a fellow villager sees a fellow villager, it is no joke to shoot him in the back.
(4) Pay attention to the car waiting in front of the hotel. It is best not to hit it: maybe you are the object of his "Latency", so it is best to hit it temporarily. Don't bother the hotel doorman to call a car for you, just call it yourself.
(5) Be careful not to pick up the topic of taking you to travel: don't disclose the information that you are going there, or the "Latency" of the last question will completely ambush you.
(6) Pay attention to the good thing that a very low price can pull you to travel. Please think twice: the key to this problem is that many people feel that they are cheap and don't take advantage of it. Isn't that a fool? The fact is that in the end, they are all losers, and what makes the people in Xishuangbanna feel even worse is that they all take the blame for them. Because they finally scolded the people in Xishuangbanna for being too bad, they just didn't review their mentality of being greedy for cheap.
(7) Be careful that if you can buy all kinds of discount tickets and book cheap hotels, you should turn a deaf ear: who will believe you if you have the ability to rent them?
(8) Note that it is normal for 20 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to downtown. Please remember that this is the market price. For those who recruit customers from 10 yuan and 5 yuan, please ask yourself a question: the parking fee at the airport is from 5 yuan. As for my kindness to take you to the city without money, but the guests didn't come, you can directly answer: I can't afford to live long!
Why bother to talk about this taxi problem? It is the problem of taxis in tourist cities all over the country. It can only be said in one sentence: those day trips near Beijing Station at the foot of Huangchenggen and Tianzi have not shown any signs of improvement, although they have been exposed by CCTV for n times. For other areas, only remind you that you can't afford to be taunted and hide.
The first complaint about traveling to Banna in Xishuangbanna is that I joined a tour group for n times and got hacked, and the second is that I was cheated by the driver when I took a taxi. Here, on behalf of the people of Xishuangbanna, I would like to say: if you don't adhere to the above three disciplines and eight points of attention, you are asking for it. Don't scold Xishuangbanna people!
About travel and accommodation: The above recommendations are all the most cost-effective hotels in Xishuangbanna. Xishuangbanna is very small, and staying in that hotel is not a big problem for your travel. The hotels recommended above are all places with first-class location or good environment. The driver will pick you up at the hotel when you hire a car. If you take a taxi by bus, it will be 5 yuan, so don't consider staying at the station.
Fourth, play articles-select scenic spots and routes worth visiting.
Leisure vacation can only be a self-tourist, not suitable for group tour. The places and routes taken by the tourism team are like the assembly lines of modern factories, and the tour guides count the time when they go there and how long they go, otherwise the trip will be chaotic. Leisure and vacation is a state of life in which you can kill time as you like, depending on your personal feelings, so you have to let your temper go, enjoy what you like and leave immediately if you don't like it. Therefore, you should not refer to other people's route selection, let alone compare the price. Yours is much more expensive, but if you go home and calculate the cost of this trip, the cost of joining a tour group may be more.

4. I won't introduce the strategy of ticket evasion. I'll tell you two websites that can book tickets online by themselves: Little P children and donkey mothers. They can basically get a 20% discount.
Five, food articles-just eat delicious food.
Caichunqing Thai Restaurant: The restaurant is located at No.193, Manjinglan, Manting Road, Jinghong City. Mainly provide Thai-style dishes, fried rice and so on. It is a more authentic flavor catering enterprise in Jinghong city. The waiters in the tunnel are all from Thailand, so when ordering, the voice must be low and the speed must be slow. Pure Thai MM's Chinese is not smooth, so gentle that you can't help but feel pity for her. You are embarrassed to speak loudly. If you doubt whether they are pure Thai sisters, you can look at their handwritten menu-make sure that all you see are "horseshoe prints".
Cai Chunqing (90% of people will call it "Cai Qingchun") has authentic taste and moderate price. It is also good to go there and feel it if you don't like Thai flavor, because the restaurant is an authentic Dai building that is rare in Jinghong City.
Dai Banquet House: Although it is located in Mentou Village, Jiangbei, it is actually opened by a rich man in the city. The overall feeling is that it is luxuriously decorated, high-grade and expensive, so you can sit in a transparent private room and watch song and dance performances. The price of a table in 1000 yuan is as high as 800 yuan. If many people are stupid with money, or if someone pays the bill for corruption or reimbursement of public funds, they can go.
Dai Jiayuan Food Village: Located at the new bridge head in Jiangbei, it is the best Dai restaurant at present. But it feels like it's starting to be cocky. The hot business stipulates that dinner is just a table, and we don't accept a la carte (I saw someone in the travel notes and the boss finally ordered food, but they felt a little breathless after spending money). Let me tell you a little trick. If you really want to eat their Dai flavor, I suggest you go at noon. As there are few people, tell the boss that you can order food. The disadvantage is that there is no singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is almost bad.
California Sunshine Cafe: The name of this place is quite different from the actual business. It is located next to the Golden Banna Hotel and is easy to find. The main business is selling coffee, but cold drinks and tea are available, and fast food is also sold during lunch and afternoon. One person in 10 yuan is not very delicious, but it is ok to make do. If you want to sit in it for a day, you are basically guaranteed to eat and drink.
Weimeixian Breakfast Shop: It is located in the innermost part of the tourist shopping street on the side of the gate of the tourist resort. It is said that it has been an old shop for 20 years. It used to be in a good position, but when it moved to its present position four or five years ago, it was usually eaten by locals, but foreigners could not find it at all. It is a typical wine that is not afraid of the deep alley. The price is very expensive, the taste is very good, and many people eat it. If you want to taste the "version of nano-dried", you can find it.
Meimei Cafe: Located in Jinglan Tea City opposite Caichunqing Thai Restaurant, this cafe is famous mainly for one factor: its founder, the proprietress, is a Hani Aini, and three proprietresses have been soaked in Europe by foreigners. This story has been written into the English version of xishuangbanna tourism Raiders, so many foreigners try their luck there. It is also the place where affairs are most likely to happen in Xishuangbanna.
George Dragon Bar: Located at the street corner of Manjinglan, it is a bar run by foreigners. It is said that the hamburgers there are the most authentic and they sell foreign beer.
Dai barbecue: at present, it is recognized as the hottest place: Manting Xiaozhai and Sanweilou.
Manting Xiaozhai:: Manting Xiaozhai is located in Huancheng South Road, which is convenient for parking. If you are driving by yourself, you can consider going. It is full of people and excitement from ten o'clock to two or three in the morning every day. However, many travel notes reflect the existence of "big menu and small menu" (see foreigners using big menu-expensive; Local people use small menus), and there is basically no way to talk here, it's too noisy. Those who like to join in the fun can go. If you want to drink quietly and taste the barbecue, you'd better not go there. People who want to go, when ordering, ask about the prices of various dishes, and generally can avoid the "big menu" of merchants, because there are many people, and the competition between them is fierce, and they will not easily let go when they see the guests coming.
Sanwei Building: It is opened in several old Dai buildings on Manting Road. It has a little feature, but there are many people of the same kind, so parking is inconvenient. It's hard to find a foreigner, and it tastes good, but in fact, except that tourists in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have basically the same taste and are not afraid of spicy food, many tourists just try something fresh, and it doesn't matter if it's delicious.
One suggestion: there is no need to go to these two places for barbecue. There are many stalls opened by Dai people on the street or in the community near the hotel. Just find one nearby and order it. I'm afraid the taste is not good. It can't be wrong to look at the stalls where local people eat a lot. Generally, these stalls don't charge more money, especially the Dai "Lao Mi Tao", who is the most kind and dedicated to Buddhism, won't lie to you.
Six, shopping articles-discerning.
You have a panoramic view of the beautiful Xishuangbanna, and you always have to bring some back in your pocket. Basically, these are the following: Burmese jade, Pu 'er tea, wood carving, coffee and tropical fruits.
Myanmar Emerald: Gold is valuable and jade is priceless, and jade is destined for people. The advertisements of merchants have made it very clear. If you want to buy, you can meet Yuyuan. If you meet someone you like, you can bargain hard. If you can accept it psychologically, you can buy it. Then don't go to the second shop for comparison, and don't ask the so-called experts: Is it expensive? Because it can't be measured, it's good that you like it and the price is acceptable. Jade is not comparable.
Pu 'er tea: The problem of buying Pu 'er tea is a bit complicated, because all the tea-producing places in Yunnan claim to be the origin of Pu 'er tea, and even Kunming, which does not produce tea, has a saying: We are the provincial capital, and all the best things in Yunnan have gathered in Kunming. In the past, Xishuangbanna and Simao (now renamed Pu 'er) fought for the ownership of Pu 'er tea, from academic disputes to the legal lawsuit of who came first and who followed the ancient tea-horse road. As a result, Xishuangbanna won the lawsuit and lost its name. However, it is recognized that Pu 'er tea originated from six tea mountains in Xishuangbanna, which is an unchangeable fact that Simao changed its name.
In view of this, it is not easy to answer whether buying Pu 'er tea in Xishuangbanna is genuine, because there is a lot of knowledge in it. However, Xishuangbanna is the origin of Pu 'er tea. The best raw materials of Pu 'er tea are produced in six tea mountains in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna ("Meng" is a place in Dai language, and "La" means tea). The highest processing level of Pu 'er tea is represented by Menghai Tea Factory in Xishuangbanna, and the largest trading market of Pu 'er tea is in Fangcun, Guangzhou, thousands of miles away. Therefore, Pu 'er tea is also a person who knows everything about tea.
Tropical Fruit: The fruits and melons in Xishuangbanna are fragrant all the year round. Basically, the main fruits appear every month, and bananas and pineapples are available all the year round. Now the import tariff on fruits is zero. There are many kinds of fruits from Thailand, and there are special markets in the urban areas. You can buy some for tasting during the trip, and you can buy them in the urban areas on the last day of departure.
VII. Summary
From the beginning to the present, I have seen so much, and I may know where to start. Please follow the following steps:
1. Bring your certificates and travel items.
2. Where to go or Cool News to buy air tickets. These two websites can basically find the cheapest air tickets.
3, find the local website of the destination, Xiao P, book a hotel. Some local websites, such as Little P Kids, recommend hotels with high performance-to-price ratio and distinctive features in addition to maintaining the price advantage, and take the leisure and holiday market for high-end customers.
4. Determine the actual number of days you can stay in Xishuangbanna, and then choose the route. The route should be reasonably matched, with a theme and your own opinions. It is necessary to do what you can and measure the time. Don't want to go everywhere and there must be no shortage of scenic spots. Actually, relax and have a good leisure and taste. Being a passer-by in a hurry may just be full of eyes, without any inner feelings and gains, and travel should be appreciated with heart.
5. Landing according to the selected route: Little P children and donkey mothers book tickets for the scenic spots they need to go to. They can book tickets online, without deposit, and pay for them at the scenic spot ticket office. Be careful for those who need to pay the money first, pay the deposit and can't pay directly at the scenic spot ticket office themselves. Choose mature scenic spots. Wild elephants still injure people every year in the Wild Elephant Valley, which is usually crowded and closely guarded, so don't go to undeveloped areas at will, especially those places that explorers like to go.
6. Choose companies and websites with brands and good reputation to book travel vehicles, and don't look for cars on the street at will. If you want to rent a car and drive by car, you must take a credit card with a high credit limit and rent it from a local car rental company.
7. Choose the restaurant you want to taste and arrange time to taste it.
8. The purchase of fruit is arranged on the last day, and there is a fruit market in the urban area. Buy what you can eat on the way, don't buy what you are going to take away.
It is a bit long. . . . . . . I wish you happiness.
