The best place to find Dai flavors at night

There are always a few Dai restaurants in every corner of every city. If you are worried that the Dai flavor in tourist attractions is not authentic, you can go to ethnic minority areas of the Dai people to explore and experience the local nighttime charm and culinary culture.

Mekong River Six Nations Floating Market

Located southeast of the Great Golden Pagoda, here you can buy specialty goods from six countries: China, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. You can also taste various cuisines from these countries, such as a wide variety of tropical fruits. The Six Nations Floating Market also has many bars where you can choose a window seat, order a drink, and enjoy the interplay of night and lake views. How delightful!

Gaozhuang Xishuangjing

Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is Dai language, which means 'Nine Pagodas and Twelve Villages' in Chinese. When visiting Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, there's no need to rush. You can rent a bicycle and leisurely ride around. During the day, you can visit the Mekong River and then go to the pagodas to experience Buddhist culture, which is very pleasant. In the evening, you can go to the night market to 'treasure hunt', taste some local tropical fruits, buy some handicrafts, or go to a bar with friends for a few drinks and chat about life and dreams, which is very relaxing and free.

Dai Jiangnan International Style Food and Bar Street

Located along Binjiang Avenue in Jinghong City, adjacent to the Lancang River, it is a newly built entertainment and leisure center completed in 2009.

In 'Dai Jiangnan', you will experience different feelings at different times. As the sun sets, you can have a beer or a drink and gaze at the river in a daze. At night, the bars start to open, and the scenery is also very beautiful.

Starlight Night Market

Starlight Night Market is one of the emerging night markets in Xishuangbanna and also one of the attractions in the Gaozhuangxi tourism resort area.

The environment is not dirty or messy, and visiting the night market is a must when traveling to Xishuangbanna.
