On a four-day trip to Xishuangbanna, you will experience the unique charm of this tropical paradise in depth. From the adventure of Wild Elephant Valley to the stroll in the Tropical Botanical Garden, from the hustle and bustle of Starlight Night Market to the serenity of Manjung Park, every moment is full of surprises and touches. You can not only enjoy the ingenious work of nature, but also feel the strong Dai culture and religious atmosphere.

The towering "big plank roots", cruel "strangling plants", majestic "single trees forming a forest", colorful "sky gardens", peculiar "old stems blooming", and giant vines dancing in the forest make tourists feel magical and unfathomable. The flowers that change color, the mysterious fruit that makes sour fruits sweet, the dancing grass that vibrates with the rhythm of music, the clock flower that blooms on time, and the poisonous "blood sealing throat" of tree sap will all make you feel very mysterious and amazed.
Afterwards, take a car to Mengluo Dafo Temple (excluding electric scooters, 40 yuan/person, 90 minutes of tour time). As the largest royal temple in Southeast Asia, this is a sacred place that Theravada followers of the Southern tradition long for. For you, who are new here, the legends and sculptures of the Great Buddha Temple are enough to captivate you. This place once witnessed the deep affection between the Dai king and his beloved concubine. It was a Buddhist place where the Dai king recited and blessed the deceased concubine. Here, the revered Shakyamuni Buddha was worshipped, and vivid secular sculptures were created. The gods and Buddhas are no longer just solemn offerings in the temple. Here, you can also adopt the posture of a dozing off messenger at the entrance of the temple. The subtlety of Buddhism lies in its ability to make everyone remember their pure and virtuous heart.

The science popularizers inside will introduce the natural behaviors of elephants to everyone: bowing, doing handstands with the head on the ground and feet facing up, dancing to the melody of music, and so on.
