The best state of love is: I did it, you can do whatever you want. by. Xiaoman


Speaking of Xishuangbanna, what do you think of?


Xiaoman’s impression of Xishuangbanna has always remained: "Little Thailand in China", "Tropical Rainforest", "Songkran Festival", "A small border town very close to Myanmar"...


This year also due to work reasons, I finally arrived. This small border town that always feels full of dreams is indeed different from any other city in China. Flying over from Beijing, which is rapidly cooling down, you will find that your body and mind are immediately relieved! The humid climate and the temperate temperature are really comfortable!


This is also my first impression of Xishuangbanna, and as I get to know it, my favor gradually increases. Then let's enjoy Xishuangbanna together with Xiaoman~




The first stop: stay at Zizhu Yi Art Beauty Hotel~




The first is accommodation. I definitely recommend everyone to come to Xishuangbanna to live in this villa homestay. It's really not an advertisement, but it is worth recommending and sharing with everyone.


I have stayed in many cultural hotels, but this is the first time I have seen one that can make the culture so full, light, delicate and delicate. Whether it's the public area or the guest rooms, they are always pleasantly surprised. After strolling around with the store manager Xu Jie, I felt that I had taken a traditional culture class about "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, flower tea, Qin bricks and Han tiles". After chatting later, I learned that the hostess came from the thirteen dynasties The ancient capital - Xi'an.



When it comes to the name of the hotel "Zizhuyi", if the hostess Dong Jie doesn't explain it, she really can't read the connotation behind it: "Zi", which means that this homestay is like your own child and takes good care of it; "Bamboo" is the wish to be as humble and upright as bamboo, tough and upright, and to be promoted steadily; "post" is also the hope that people who come here can stop and rest their feet and find their destination during the journey.



And in the folk songs of the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, there is a good line "where there is a village, there will be bamboo forests, and where there are bamboo, there will be people living in it", which describes the close relationship between the various ethnic groups here and bamboo. It also tells the people here that "you can't live without this king" for bamboo. Therefore, the homestay culture of "Zizhuyi" has already started from the name.

And "Zizhu" in it is also the pen name of the hostess. People say that by looking at a homestay, you can know how its owner is. At that time, after wandering around, Xiao Man not only lamented the great design of the hostess, but also wanted to meet the hostess immediately. He is really a man of many talents, soft and strong.

Xishuangbanna Zizhuyi Art Beauty Hotel is located in a high-end villa in Wanda Resort. There is a lake, a pavilion, a waterside pavilion, a pot, a tea, and a lamp. Gift of nature.

"Zizhuyi" is a beautiful hotel with the theme of "Zen" and "health preservation", with calligraphy and painting room, tea bar, piano room, chess and card room, meditation room, traditional Chinese medicine massage room, steam room, Dai medical center And other characteristic cultural experience spaces, it conveys oriental life wisdom and life aesthetics to travelers.

As the hostess said: "I want guests to come here not only for accommodation, but also for a kind of life. Zen scriptures, brushes and inkstones, sandalwood, and old tea are all our lives. Living in Zizhuyi, relaxing in Xishuangbanna, Really get in and feel it.”

△Guqin room

Therefore, the homestay has carried out "culture" into a rich and interesting course experience. Such as tea ceremony, incense ceremony, flower arrangement, Zen ceremony, collection of literati poetry, calligraphy and painting, antique appreciation, lectures on traditional Chinese studies... It is a pious attitude to explore the source of culture and the way of nature, to pursue the concept of range rover, The spiritual home of life scenery.

Here, it is not only a comfortable accommodation experience, but also a full-body and close-to-body bath with culture. You have no idea that the beauty presented by these small scenes and objects was designed by the hostess who was born in science.

The most indispensable thing in Xishuangbanna is sunshine. Whether it's early morning or afternoon, the mischievous light and shadow are sprinkled in every corner of the hotel, dreamlike and warm.

And what surprised me the most were the rooms. There are a total of 16 rooms, all of which are large houses with an area of ​​more than 40 square meters, with ample free space, and the whole person feels relaxed when walking in.

The guest room is also the maximization of life. In Zizhuyi, all the rooms have landscape terraces, where you can enjoy the mountain scenery, drink tea, or look up at the stars. Among them, lying on the couch with your beloved ta is the most romantic and poetic.

What's even more cool and handsome is that each room uses a robot service experience, and a full smartphone app can control all the facilities in the room. It is really a perfect combination of modern technology and ancient culture.

From room layout to small ornaments, meditation hall to long sandalwood, space layout to brush and ink Zen scriptures, every detail is antique and full of rich Zen culture.

Each room is equipped with solid wood furniture, white wall warm lights, TOTO's high-end bathroom, independent washing machine, and free candy drinks for guests. By the way, Thai orange juice and soy milk are super delicious!

Strolling in the "Zizhuyi Art Beauty Hotel", the tropical rainforest is looming, and the petty bourgeoisie's ditties doted on by palms, coconut winds, and rain-beating plantains reveal surprise and subtle elegance...

Here, whether you are hiding from the hustle and bustle or reminiscing about the past, it is an encounter with beauty. Zizhuyi is definitely a villa hotel that you still want to come here, and will strongly recommend it to relatives and friends. It is really great.

The second stop: Gaozhuang Night Market gets dry~

When I came to Xishuangbanna, I really felt like I was in Thailand. Everywhere is filled with a strong Southeast Asian style, whether it is clothing, architecture, food, or streets, especially the night market, you must visit the night market once when you come to Xishuangbanna.

And Gaozhuang Night Market is simply a paradise in Xishuangbanna, especially Gaozhuang at night makes the nightlife very lively and interesting~

Especially the food, before getting out of the car, I was greeted by Li Ge from the hotel: When you come to Xishuangbanna, you must eat the barbecue here, it is really good! Sure enough, hot and sour, all kinds of wild vegetables, fruits, barbecue, big skewers, and the price is very cheap.

That night, it was the first time I met the store manager, Ms. Xu, but I have known each other online for a long time. As soon as we met, there was an intimacy of meeting old friends. Sister Xu's carefree, casual and indifferent personality makes it impossible for you to guess her age.

That night, we drank and chatted like old friends, talking about the past and the present, and loved the fireworks during the trip.


The third stop: Let’s go shopping in Manting Park~

Xishuangbanna is indeed full of green trees as far as the eye can see, and the air is too pure. In order to keep myself away from the city completely, I simply turned off my mobile phone. After all, I can't live up to such a burst of negative oxygen ions.

Sister Xu saw that I had almost rested the next day, so she took me to Manting Park near the hotel. Manting Park is an ancient park in Xishuangbanna. It is a natural village-style park and used to be the imperial garden of the Dai king.

The Buddhist culture in Xishuangbanna is different from that of the Central Plains and resembles that of Southeast Asia, and it also incorporates the cultural style of the Dai people. But people in Banna believe in Buddhism and don't stick to details.

Therefore, there are not many clear rules and regulations in the temples in Banna. The belief in Buddha is more reflected in the harmonious coexistence with nature. It is true that there are Buddhas all the time and everywhere.

Do you know what flower this is? Haha, heartless flowers, sister Xu said heartless flowers~ I joked: It looks like you.

The light and shadow created by the sun and the dense forest are like a dream world, only the rustling sound of oneself stepping on the thick layer of fallen leaves can be heard. Pure beauty, nature, original ecology, letting go of the old and absorbing the new, feeling one person and one world while taking a deep breath, and telling the thoughts to the rainforest, it seems that the brows are not so frowning, and too much sentimentality is just mediocrity.



Play Tips:

① Tickets: 54 yuan during the day;

②In the evening, you can watch multi-ethnic singing and dancing performances in the park, and there is also a bonfire party;

③The best time to travel in Xishuangbanna is from October to June of the following year; the climate in Xishuangbanna is only divided into wet and dry, the dry season is from November to April of the next year, and the rainy season is from May to October every year.


The fourth stop: the waves of the tea garden~


There are many tea gardens in Xishuangbanna, it is also great to experience tea picking and making tea.

Sister Xu will also share with me a lot of local culture in Xishuangbanna, for example: In fact, people may have some misunderstandings about Pu’er tea, thinking that Pu’er tea is rich in Pu’er tea, but it is not, it is in Xishuangbanna. I forgot the specific reason. Everyone who comes to Xishuangbanna can invite sister Xu to take you to play~ It will really give you a different Xishuangbanna experience.

Fifth stop: Must eat Dai cuisine once

I had eaten Dai cuisine in Dali, Kunming before, so I fell in love with it. Then, when you come to Xishuangbanna, you must not miss the authentic Dai cuisine. Pineapple rice, grilled fish with lemon grass, deep-fried bamboo worms... Plates of delicacies with unique ethnic flavors are served on the table. By the way, there are also tropical fruits. Babies who like to eat fruits must not miss it, just let them go! open! eat! Take my share back~

Sixth stop: Wear Dai costumes and take beautiful photos

Not to mention, with so many ethnic costumes, I really think the Dai costumes are very beautiful, very temperamental, and very self-cultivating. Ladies and sisters who like to take beautiful photos can wear Dai costumes and take some photos exclusive to Xishuangbanna memories, you will find a more beautiful side of yourself haha~

Seventh stop: Visit the Jino people and travel through the "primitive society"

Jinuo Shanzhai is located in Bapo Village, Jinuo Township, east of Jinghong City, where the Jinuo people live and thrive for generations. Wandering in the Dai villages, meeting the locals unexpectedly, being a Dai family, experiencing the purest customs and characteristics of the Dai people is very like a local tour.


Eighth stop: send some souvenirs home

Xiaoman seldom buys local specialties to send home when she goes out, but when she went to visit Manning Park this time, sister Xu recommended a few [Myanmar Royal Milk Tea] and [Gao Chong Brand Coffee] that she often buys, and I also brought them Some Vietnamese [cat poop coffee]. I thought it was good, so I sent some home, and it was really good to drink milk tea when I came back~


Buying Tips:

You can buy it at the night market. I bought it at the specialty store in Manting Park. Free shipping is available for orders over 78 yuan.


Ninth stop: You must not miss the Songkran Festival when you come to Xishuangbanna


I didn’t get to participate in the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna this time, but I think it would be nice to bring my family next time.

"Water splashes, the Dai family is crazy", "splashing wet, happy life"! The water flowers that symbolize auspiciousness, happiness, and health bloom in the air, and you can forget all your troubles. Carnival the most authentic Water-Splashing Festival with the Dai people and feel the flavor of the year that belongs to them.



Play Tips:

The Water-Splashing Festival is the biggest national festival in Xishuangbanna in a year, which is equivalent to our Chinese New Year. Held on April 12th in the Gregorian calendar every year, it is called the "Wave Water Festival". If you go to Xishuangbanna in mid-April, you must not miss the Songkran Festival.


Tenth stop: Encounter the romantic Loi Krathong Festival and make a wish for yourself


During the Loi Krathong Festival, people in the Lancang Mekong River Basin will wear national costumes and start parading with water lanterns in their hands. Friends who have never seen the parade must participate in the street parade with Southeast Asian characteristics!

Play Tips:

Just like Zizhuyi Art Beauty Hotel
