Tourists who have been to Xishuangbanna know that most of the scenic spots here are charged, and the price is not cheap. However, the most popular place for tourists and the highest ticket sales is known for the lowest ticket price in Xishuangbanna, and it is also popular among tourists for its variety of attractions. The most humane scenic spot has also become the most popular scenic spot in the area. Do you know which one it is?
The scenic spot with the lowest ticket price in Xishuangbanna is Manting Park. At first, I thought it was a city park. The fee of 20 yuan is not cheap, but it is the most popular scenic spot in Xishuangbanna. I think it must be worth seeing. When I read the introduction at the door, I found out that Manting Park contains many scenic spots and local special performances. After that, I felt that the 20 yuan ticket was very cost-effective.
Manting Park is a city park with a tropical rain forest style. According to the introduction, it is the place where the royal families of the Dai kings from the six Southeast Asian countries lived, and it is the place with the most historical heritage in Xishuangbanna. Entering the gate of Manting Park, you will be greeted with a Southeast Asian-style rainforest environment, which is very comfortable. Unexpectedly, it is rare to experience this kind of environment in the city, and Mr. Yamano fell in love with it right away.
As Xishuangbanna has a tropical rainforest climate, it is already midsummer at the end of May, and it is very hot. Fortunately, the vegetation in Manting Park is very high, and the tree-lined trails make the already hot air suddenly cool down a lot. Wandering in this primitive forest-level environment is an extremely comfortable trip in itself, which calms the noisy and restless heart a lot.
As early as 1,300 years ago, Manting Park was the imperial garden of the Dai palace. It is said that the first princess liked this place and often came here to play, thinking that she was fascinated by the soul, and finally named this place Manting Garden, which means soul in Dai language The fascinating scenery is also called Chunhuan by the locals. The Dai buildings seen in this former imperial garden have a strong Southeast Asian style.
Under normal circumstances, places with the most historical heritage of the Dai people, such as the Dai Palace Ruins, must charge tickets, and they are expensive. However, if you come to Manting Park, you only need to pay a big ticket of 20 yuan to visit the ruins of the Dai palace for free, this Dai palace with a history of thousands of years. This architectural feature is still very visual and aesthetic, and it is worth a visit.
Sure enough, it is a royal palace. When you enter the ruins of the Dai Palace, you will see a magnificent scene, which is very grand. The ancient Dai people also had their own architectural art and cultural characteristics. The ruins of the Dai Palace are part of Manting Park. If you like architecture, Mr. Yamano recommends spending more time to appreciate the buildings of the Dai Palace inside and outside.
The four-faced Buddha, which is common in Southeast Asian countries, can also be seen in the Zongfo Temple in Manting Park. Unexpectedly, this exotic building can also be seen in Xishuangbanna, which is full of freshness. The buildings and Buddha statues full of Southeast Asian style are also one of the important attractions of Manting Park. It is not easy to see such free attractions in Xishuangbanna. It seems that this Manting Park is still worth visiting, at least I think it is worth visiting.
Coming up from the hillside along the trail along the lake is the main entrance of the Zongfo Temple, and the Buddha statues that can only be seen in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand are in sight. Seeing these statues of Bodhisattvas gave me a joyful mood and an exotic atmosphere, which is really amazing. Unfortunately, due to the impact of the epidemic, religious places across the country are temporarily not open to outsiders, so Mr. Yamano can only take a tour at the gate of the Zongfo Temple and wait for the next chance to come again. The Buddhists say that everything should be done according to fate!
Elephants are endemic species in tropical rainforest areas. Most of the elephant performances in Xishuangbanna, except Manting Park, are charged. There are several elephant performances in Manting Park every day. This performance is no longer a separate charge. In addition to elephant performances, there are also parrot performances in Manting Park. These are attractions that require manpower and material resources. They are all free here. I have to say that Manting Park is the most conscientious scenic spot in Xishuangbanna and even the entire Yunnan Province. , 20 yuan tickets can have so many things to watch, I have to give a thumbs up for this!
Although the overall scale of Manting Park is not particularly large, there are many things to see, and the ecological environment is also first-class. The attractions of Manting Park mainly include tropical rainforest plants, Dai Palace ruins, Dai Culture Museum, Dai King Royal Garden, Zongfo Temple, green walkway, parrot show, elephant show, lotus garden, Zongfo Temple, etc. The key is this You only need to pay 20 yuan for the ticket to enjoy more, isn't it very humane? Manting Park, which has the lowest ticket prices and the most attractions in Xishuangbanna, is well-deserved to become the number one popular scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, and it seems that it deserves its name!
