Dai Ethnic Garden
The Dai Village in Olive Dam Farm is the most famous water-splashing holy place in Xishuangbanna. The water-splashing festival held here every afternoon is called the Eastern Carnival. Of course, there are also the humanistic scenery of the millennium Dai village and authentic Dai cuisine, but compared to Manzhang Village, the commercial flavor here is very strong.
Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden
It is the only 5A-level scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, and it is truly a must-visit scenic spot. Here, there is the largest area in China, the most abundant collection of species, and the most diverse botanical garden, which will make people amazed at the magic and charm of nature.
Wild Elephant Valley
The only habitat for Asian elephants in the country, it has become the only park where you can get up close and personal with Asian elephants. The highlight of the entire park is the fun performances at the elephant school, including flag-raising ceremonies, playing football, hula hooping, dart throwing, beauty pageants, and more. It's absolutely adorable! Of course, the affiliated small scenic areas, such as the Bird Park and Butterfly Park, are also worth a visit.
Original Forest Park
In the south of the Tropic of Cancer, there are the best-preserved tropical valley rainforests. The distribution of the scenic spots is as follows: Jinhu (peacock flying), Jiulong Feipu (ethnic musical instrument performance), Ainis village (bamboo pole dance interaction), large-scale ethnic style performance venue (ethnic song and dance performance and water splashing activities). However, the most worthy and core part of the entire scenic area is the last point - hiking in the tropical valley rainforest.
Wangtian Tree
The core of Xishuangbanna tropical rainforest, the most attractive part of the scenic spot is the skywalk. With the help of the trunks of dozens of tall trees, a 34-meter-high suspended bridge is built, which allows visitors to overlook the entire tropical rainforest from the air.
Daluoguomen
It can't separate people's feelings, can't open people's hearts. From the 'Dao Long' in the Yuan Dynasty, to the 'Banna Jingluo' in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, to the present Daluo Town, different ethnic groups are gathered at this crossing, engaging in commodity trading activities. The Sino-Burmese boundary marker is inserted at the edge of Manbang's stockade, and the large banyan trees around the stockade are lush, especially the unique large banyan tree, which is truly amazing.
Wanda Theme Park
In the background of the original tropical rainforest, two major theme parks, 'Land Paradise' and 'Water Paradise', are created. Land Paradise offers thrilling water roller coasters, carousels, Dai Thai style float parades, and fantasy ice music shows; while Water Paradise provides various exciting and creative water entertainment options to take you into a cool water world.
Total Buddhist temple

Manzhang Village
If you want to find a traditional village to visit in Xishuangbanna, then it must be Manzhang Village.

The park has eight areas including the ethnic cultural square, woody plant area, tropical orchid garden, peacock garden, Buddhist cultural area, and tree planting memorial area. In addition, the evening art performance 'Lancang River • Mekong River Night' and bonfire party are the highlights of the park, which are worth seeing.
Dayi Manor
The famous Pu'er tea is actually mainly produced in Xishuangbanna, so there is the title of the first county of Pu'er tea - Menghai County. If you want to have a comprehensive experience of Pu'er tea, then the Dayi Manor is a good choice. It was originally a tea research institution, but now it has incorporated elements of tea sightseeing experience. You can take a horse-drawn carriage into the tea garden, carry a basket on your back to experience the life of a tea picker, and then hand-press your own Pu'er tea cake. You can also taste Pu'er tea and eat tea meals. If you stay in the manor, you can also participate in the free bonfire party held in the evening!
