A Musical Journey | 2D1N Xishuangbanna Itinerary: See Wild Elephants and the Dai King's Royal Garden

I'm waiting for you in Xishuangbanna Lost in the beauty of nature Peacocks dancing gracefully Elephants laughing together ... 🍃 Every time I hear the song "I'm Waiting for You in Xishuangbanna," I think of my days in Xishuangbanna, the unforgettable scenery, and the musical journey. 🍃 Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture has a strong tropical vibe and is worth spending a few days exploring. If you don't have much time, like only two days, which attractions are worth visiting? ❤️ Xishuangbanna is the only home of Asian elephants in China. In spring, you have a good chance of seeing wild Asian elephants in the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area. If you are short on time, this is a must-see attraction! The General Buddhist Temple in Jinghong, the capital of Xishuangbanna, and Manting Park, the former royal garden of the Dai King, are also must-see attractions! 🌸 Day 1: Wild Elephant Valley 🔸 Wild Elephant Valley has a high-altitude elephant viewing walkway, rainforest cable car, Asian Elephant Museum, Asian elephant show, butterfly house, and more. You can see a variety of tropical plants and animals, such as the "blood-sealing throat" tree and macaques, and spend a whole day here. 🔸 If you're lucky, you can see wild elephants. I saw two herds of wild elephants! They were bathing in the stream and then spraying dirt on themselves in the woods, which is like us spraying talcum powder. Although it was smoky, the wild elephants were so cute! Definitely worth the ticket price! 🔸 The Asian elephant show is also worth seeing. No extra charge is required, but you need to pay separately if you want to take photos with the elephants! 🔸 Wild Elephant Valley is located in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, only 22 km from Jinghong, with convenient transportation. 🌸 Day 2: General Buddhist Temple - Manting Park ⭐️ General Buddhist Temple: With a history of over 1,000 years, it is the first Buddhist temple built in Xishuangbanna. 700 years ago, it was established as the highest-ranking Buddhist temple in Xishuangbanna. 🔸 The golden hall, bell tower, and drum tower of the General Buddhist Temple are worth taking photos of. ⭐️ Manting Park: With a history of over 1,300 years, it was once the royal garden of the Dai King. 🔸 You can see the gorgeous Dai King's palace, which is great for photos. 🔸 The colorful blessing cards and murals in the Release Pavilion are also beautiful! 🔸 The peacock, elephant, and parrot shows are also great! ❤️ If you want to spend an unforgettable 2D1N in Xishuangbanna, the three attractions above are must-see places!
