6-Day Xishuangbanna and Pu'er Tour

Escape to the Rainforest

On the southwest border of China, there is a piece of wonderful and ideal land. It is a paradise of plants and animals. It is one of the few places where you can feel a truly tropical world in China and the only place in China for interacting with elephants in the wild. Chinese culture and Southeast Asian culture influence each other there. It is Xishuangbanna (/hsee-shwung-ban-na/).

During this 6-Day Xishuangbanna and Pu'er Tour, you will immerse yourself in incredible nature, experience the ideal rainforest lifestyle, and feel the exotic charm of the banks of the Lancang (Mekong).

Tour 'Wow' Points

Be a Local in an Authentic Dai Village

Walk in the royal garden of a Dai Princess in Manting Park.

Visit the holy land of Buddhism for the Dai people — General Buddhist Temple.

Skip the commercial Dai Ethnicity Park. Walk in a peaceful Dai village instead to taste the fruits they grow, to play the instruments they play when dancing, and to learn how to make a clay pot in the Dai style and how to make a beautiful paper with some flowers.

Feel the Magic of Tropical Plants

Strange flowers which change color, mysterious fruits which taste sweet and sour, and dancing grass which shakes with the music will open a door to a new world for you.

Explore the less-visited eastern part of the amazing Botanical Garden to see giant tropical trees.

Or we could go to a wilder rainforest area and have an exciting jungle adventure. You will see how to get drinkable water in the jungle by cutting a banana tree. Climb a giant banyan tree with your hands and feet. Enjoy a rainforest picnic in the jungle.

Wonderful days in Lijiang Our tourguide Alice took us to the Jin‘Gang Haimu Lingdong Temple and ShiGu Village. Sie was very friendly and explained the region same as the temple in detail.
