notes:
Since returning from a self-driving tour in Hainan with Xiaobenben, I broke my worries about long-distance driving with a 1.0-displacement car, and then drove to Guizhou and other places during the Chinese New Year holiday. I planned to go directly to Yunnan, but retreated to Chongqing due to traffic congestion. This time Because my son is about to go to elementary school, I plan to go out by car again. After several plans and discussions, I originally planned to go to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. On a whim, I went to Yunnan, and everyone agreed.
Most of the trips to Yunnan take the northern line, Kundali, but this time we chose to go to the southern line, taking Banna. One is to consider that there are three children and the temperature changes greatly, the other is to consider the altitude of the northern route, and the third is that there are more exotic customs on the southern route. Facts have proved that our choice is not wrong, because there are so many people on the northern line, it is difficult to even book a room, haha.
At the beginning of August, Xiao Benben has completed the maintenance. It was originally planned to set off with two cars. With the friendly support of my aunt, we can drive comfortably, have fun, and guarantee the speed. I like it here, haha. above.
full of luggage
On the first day, I drove directly from Wuhan to Tongren City, with a journey of 798 kilometers. I stayed at Huaguoshan International Hotel in Tongren City. This hotel is quite good, and the breakfast is also delicious. I recommend it.
The next day, I drove directly from Tongren City to Banna, with a journey of 1342.8 kilometers. I found a hotel in the center of the city and checked in. There are Wal-Mart and RT-Mart (I admire RT-Mart very much, and they have opened stores in Banna) nearby. It is very convenient to eat and drink. The itinerary was relatively long that day, starting at 10 am and arriving in Banna at 2 am, so I mainly took a rest.
On the third day, I slept until I woke up and walked around for a while. The dark time in Banna was relatively late, and it didn’t get dark until 8:00 pm. I went to Binjiang Park (near the Lancang River) to eat snacks and shop at night.
Binjiang Park for snacks and shopping. The snacks in Banna are good, suitable for the taste of Hubei people. The freshly squeezed fruit juice is very powerful, and the barbecue is also delicious. My friends have a lot of Thai snacks. In addition, they have a very good grilled fish called Luo Fei, which looks like our crucian carp, but with fish bones. Much less than crucian carp, the taste is good. In addition, the roast chicken and pork in Banna are not big, and they are all native and taste good.
The barbecue in Banna is bought like this, beef, 25 yuan a bunch
It’s a joy to eat, the Thai version of clothes bought at the night market, do as the Romans do, the Buddha’s light shines everywhere, haha.
Two little babies.
Regardless of whether they are sold in the night market, the workmanship of the goods is still very good, very exquisite, and the price is not bad.
On the fourth day, tell Zhuangxi Shuangjing, shoot at the Dajin Temple, visit the night market at night, not much to say, the picture above
The picture above was taken by our wife with Mi 4, does it feel like a big movie, haha
The picture above was taken by me with Huawei mate7, my wife is better than me, hahaha
My son took a picture of me with his camera.

My son's beautiful aunt, let's be trendy, hahaha.
This Porsche, and the one above it, a Land Rover, are showing signs of age.
In the evening, I ate at the Dai family. The taste was very good and the price was reasonable. The three little guys made a big coconut, and even made a custard pineapple, ruthless.
The hotels in Gaozhuang are very distinctive and there are many hotels. If you are interested, you can live in them, and some have private swimming pools. The environment is good.
The soap flowers hand-carved by the artist on site are very delicate and drifting, and are valuable for collection.
In the evening, I went directly to the hot air balloon to play, haha, last time I was planning to go on the hot air balloon in the Huashan villas in Wuhan, but I didn’t expect to go to Banna, it’s so warm. fire.
On the fifth day, after two days of rest, we started the scenic spot. Here I want to explain that the ticket prices of scenic spots in Banna are quite chaotic. We only got the right price tickets after many comparisons. In addition, tickets for scenic spots are generally accompanied by a car and a tour guide. It is recommended that you do not buy this kind of ticket. If If you are driving by yourself, because the water is too large, in short, the price of the ticket we bought can be cheap. The picture is on
photo of two families
I still have a feeling, little photographer
Our son is stepping on the scene, huh, huh.
Visiting the Great Buddha Temple, resting and looking for a place to eat, directly received a group-buying snack online, Dai cuisine
Afternoon to Manting Park
Manting Park is in the city center, the place is very lively, the royal garden, in addition to watching, there are also elephant performances and parrot performances, the performance here is similar to that of Wild Elephant Valley, so after seeing this, we canceled the visit The itinerary of Wild Elephant Valley, and the Zongfo Temple is connected behind Manting Park. You can enter two scenic spots with one ticket, which is very cost-effective.
Let's talk about this soy milk. Imported from Thailand, the taste is very good. The price in scenic spots is 6 yuan, and the price in the city is 4 yuan. Everyone likes to drink it. I joked that I bought 2 pieces to go back and give it to my son and wife. When we left, we found the wholesale location. 66 yuan/piece, decisively decided to load the goods and drag them back to Wuhan, which is cheaper than the 99 pieces bought online. It is understood that goods from Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar can only be sent to Banna, and they cannot be shipped any further. hehe.
Day 6, Keno Cottage and Tropical Rainforest Valley
Jinuo Shanzhai is the last famous family in China. This famous family is very interesting. The men are losers, the women are valuable, and the women are in charge. The whole family belongs to inbreeding. It has a history of 300 years. There is a tea mountain, Puer tea mountain, rich.
This patriarch is 88 years old. Pay attention to his teeth. They are all black. The tour guide said that they wash their teeth with pot bottom ash. The darker they wash, the healthier and more beautiful they are. There are big differences in the habits of different ethnic groups.
Puer tea
wild honey
home brewed water
When visiting the cottage, the tour guide will prepare local pork, corn, and sweet potatoes for you to fill your stomach. In the afternoon, we went to the tropical rainforest. There are performances and air corridors in the tropical rainforest valley. Of course, we are most interested in the air corridor. This is also one of the scenic spots. In Banna, the separate air corridor scenic spot is 140 kilometers away from Banna. The difference is the height. And the length, since it is here, we didn't go to the separate scenic spot, which saved time and cost, haha.
On the seventh day, stay at the Anantara Hotel and visit the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
If you are interested in the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you can go and see it.
Hotel for the last day, Antaraka Hotel
This hotel is very unique, it happens to be Valentine's Day in China, I finally got a room (⊙o⊙) Oh, it's Valentine's Day
The hotel's Phoenix bicycle
Lantern dance at 7:30 every night
hotel library
The infinity pool, the hotel is already a scenic spot, and the breakfast is quite good.
Luggage packaging is always suppressed by people in this way, huh, huh.
Check out at noon on the seventh day and return.
We drove directly from Banna to Qujing, and did not stop in Kunming on the way. Qujing Hotel is much more cost-effective than Kunming. I suggest that you can consider this itinerary.
On the eighth day, Qujing went to Changde, and Changde rested.
On the ninth day, Changde went to Wuhan, and the trip ended.
A few suggestions:
Self-driving tour in Banna, the itinerary is 2,400 kilometers on one side, the driver is no less than 2 people, try not to drive at night, enter the Yunnan-Guizhou section, it is basically a mountain road, and there is fog at night; the water source in Banna is generally acceptable, if the stomach is not good People, drink mineral water as much as possible; the prices of scenic spots in Banna vary greatly, so check more before booking tickets; you can buy a lot of Thai goods in Banna, and you can bring some back if you are interested, but don’t buy jewelry (if you don’t understand); There is a time difference between Banna and Wuhan. It doesn’t get dark until 8 o’clock in the evening, and the number of people gradually increases at 9 o’clock in the morning. If you have enough time, you can go to a few more scenic spots; if you want to go to Thailand by car, Banna is the only way to go, because there are Two exits.
