2025 Xishuangbanna Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

In the Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there is a very Southeast Asian-style temple called 'Mengle Grand Buddha Temple.' Located in Jinghong City, it is often referred to as 'Jinghong Grand Buddha Temple.' It was rebuilt on the site of the ancient royal temple of the Dai Kingdom, 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple.' The Theravada Buddhism prevalent in Xishuangbanna is very similar to that in Thailand, Myanmar, and other Southeast Asian regions, which is the Theravada Buddhism we are familiar with. No wonder the architectural style feels so familiar, with a strong Thai Lanna influence. Outside the temple stands a magnificent Buddha statue, 45 meters tall, said to be the largest outdoor Buddha statue in Theravada Buddhism, quite spectacular. The entrance fee is 120 RMB, which is not cheap, but there are performances to watch, and a unique peacock release event, though unfortunately, I missed it due to timing. If you don't want to climb the stairs up the mountain, you can choose to take the electric car. Overall, it is a well-developed tourist attraction.

I brought my mother to Xishuangbanna for a vacation, and I have to say, it feels good to travel during off-peak hours. Day 1⃣ We arrived in Xishuangbanna at noon, rested in the hotel, and set out for Shwedagon Pagoda at around 4 o'clock. After taking some random photos, I had dinner and then found Trip Moments Starlight Night Market. Day 2⃣ Charter a car to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I originally planned to visit both the East and West Parks, but it was too hot, so I went back to the hotel to rest after visiting the West Park. Day 3⃣ Charter a car to Jingmai Mountain, a new world cultural heritage. The World Heritage Exhibition Center → Nuogan → Wengji → Shenshu Coffee in Jingmai Dazhai☕️, In the middle, we asked the master to stop at the Queen Bee Tree and Princess Banyan Tree to check in, and we accidentally walked to Wengwa Village. Day 4⃣ Manting Park, but unfortunately the Zong Buddhist Temple was not open that morning, so we missed it. After lunch in Gaozhuang, we returned to the hotel to rest and set off for Prajna Temple and Dai Village Water Town at 15:00. After dinner, I strolled around the Xingguang Night Market. 🏨Accommodation We all stayed in Gaozhuang. Maybe it wasn't the peak season, so it wasn't so noisy that we couldn't sleep at night as people said online. 🍜Dining Stay in the hotel in the morning, eat casually on the way at noon, and have a big dinner at night. Mushroom hotpot, peacock banquet, Southeast Asian creative dishes...I choose to eat them in restaurants because I’m afraid the night market is not very hygienic.

According to legend, it was built by two Burmese monks who came to Xishuangbanna to preach Buddhism. It is the first Buddhist temple built after the introduction of Theravada Buddhism into Xishuangbanna. Today, the Zongfo Temple has become the traditional cultural center of the Dai people, a bridge for friendly exchanges with Southeast Asian Buddhist countries, and a window for China's Theravada Buddhism to be presented to the world.

The eighth delegation reached the Golden Land, namely Lower Burma and Central and Southern Thailand. Later, Buddhism spread throughout Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and other Southeast Asian countries. In the 7th century AD, Buddhism was introduced to the Dai and Shilang ethnic groups in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China, and has been passed down to this day. In the 295th year of the Dai calendar (833 AD), Elder Padmaha Ananda, who came to Xishuangbanna to preach Buddhism, led a group of monks and, under the support of King Zhaopengmalaza, built the Prajna Pagoda together with villagers from various villages led by Paya Zheng of Manzhen Village, Paya Balanmashan of Manying Village and Balanmapeng Wengzai of Manzhuangxie Village. The center of the stupa is 122 feet deep (about 8.5 meters), and it is said that it houses two strands of Buddha's hair. From 990 to 1006 in the Dai calendar (1628 to 1644 AD), the Prajna Pagoda was rebuilt, the original foundation was dug up, and four Buddhist relics were placed in the center of the pagoda. Tips～ A. Transportation strategy: drive or take a taxi. B. Temple tickets: free.

| An exotic journey on the China-Laos Railway]. Xishuangbanna is the hometown of the Dai people. Each of their villages is built by the water. From bathing the Buddha, splashing water, bathing, dragon boating, washing, etc., every aspect of life is inseparable from water. So they are called the "water" nation. Every year from April 13th to 15th, you can come to Xishuangbanna to experience the traditional festival of the Dai people - Water Splashing Festival, which is also the Dai New Year in Xishuangbanna. In this joyous festival, whether you know each other or not, you can splash water on each other to pass on blessings, symbolizing the good times of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. Xishuangbanna is a holy place of Theravada Buddhism. Each Dai village has its own pagoda, as well as small pagodas on the wells as decorations. When Dai boys are of school age, they are usually sent to Buddhist temples to study, becoming young monks for a period of time, and then returning home after graduation. In Xishuangbanna, everyone must remember two animals: elephants and peacocks. Legend has it that Sakyamuni came to Xishuangbanna riding an elephant, so elephants have a sacred status in the hearts of the Dai people. Peacocks are regarded as "auspicious birds". Many Dai people raise peacocks in their homes. During festivals, they also perform the famous peacock dance "Ga Luo Yong". Dense tropical rainforest, mysterious Southern Buddhism, rich exotic customs, Xishuangbanna is a place you must visit once in your life.

📍Located in the North of Myanmar and Laos, and south of Yunnan province lies a charming city where buildings, resorts, and temples are absolute pleasure in the eye.🤩 Xishuangbanna is the Chinese approximation of the original Thai name of Sip Sawng Panna (12 rice growing districts) has become China’s mini-Thailand. Jinghong is the capital of Xishuangbanna with the best urban infrastructure in the area and it’s about 15 mins drive to/from the airport.✈️ The city center is small and accessible to tour around on foot, or via renting an electric, super cute snoopy scooter which only cost 30¥/hour. 😎 There are tons of affordable hotels/inns/hostels that cater different kinds of travelers with different budgets. Peacock city is one of the most famous affordable lodging around the area as it offers a great night and day view of the city and an amazing infinity pool.😍 📝note: It’s tropical monsoon climate makes it a great place for winter escapes in China! 👍🏻 #timetotravel

Tropical rainforests, gorgeous temples, delicious food and a very nice atmosphere. We went on a trip to Xishuangbanna during December and it was such lovely warm weather 🌞 I would definitely recommend the night market with its plethora of food options, souvenirs and beautiful views. There are several nature parks and temples to visit in the surroundings. We stayed in the old town which has a lot of character with many restaurants around and also cafes & (fruit)shops. Would definitely go back again to explore more ! #xishuangbanna #explore #deliciousfood #temples #nature #nightmarket

#Xishuangbanna #Elephant Xishuangbanna is the place where everyone can be a princess and prince, you can try a lot of foods and drink, everywhere is full of Thailand-alike style, no wonder it’s called mini Thailand. We live in Jinghong City, the price of the hotel is relatively cheaper than the one near night market, you can take taxi to night market, however it normally will have traffic jam. The famous restaurants usually need to queue up earlier but the taste is really good! Overall, the trip is great!

From afar, it looks like a magnificent palace. If you come to Xishuangbanna for a visit, this unique and niche temple is worth a visit. For young people, visiting temples to worship and make wishes, as well as taking photos and checking in, is a must-do process. Temples with red walls and glazed tiles are the majority in the country, with no need to mention their beauty, but seeing too many can inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue. The Prajna Temple, located in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, goes beyond people's understanding of ordinary temples and has become a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities due to its unique design and pure white color. The Banruo Temple is built on the back half of Manzhen Village in Jinghong City, far away from the bustling city center, with an exceptionally quiet environment. From the foot of the mountain, you can see this white temple from afar, as if it were a holy place untouched by the world's disturbances. Pronounced as "bo re si" in Chinese, the name of the temple is "Bodhisattva Temple" in Buddhism, which means the wisdom to see through everything. The temple has a long history, dating back to 833 AD, when the venerable Paramahansa Ananda came here to preach Buddhism and led the monks and local villagers to build the temple. Although the temple is not large, with only one main hall, it has been expanded and renovated many times by later generations to form its current scale. Under the building, there are Toltolishis similar to those under the Central Plains ancient pagoda, with similar postures and clothing, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that each face is different and there are no duplicates. In the center of the main hall stands a large pagoda. Ignoring the golden Buddha statue enshrined inside, the architecture itself appears symmetrical from any angle, giving a sense of considerable stability. Carefully observe this building, which combines the style of traditional Dai architecture with the charm of Southeast Asia. The stone carvings are exquisitely crafted, and the intricate shapes and patterns even evoke memories of the Rococo style that once flourished in Europe. The Buddha statue dressed in golden robes appears exceptionally solemn and sacred against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. The ivory white building gives people a sense of sanctity. The carvings and hollowed-out flowers on it show both magnificence and softness. It is more like a memorable palace than a temple. Xishuangbanna, Yunnan
