In Banna, choosing accommodation, I recommend Jiezhuang West Double View.
This is a very large and prosperous tourist district, many one-day tour groups are scattered here, and there are many resources for eating, shopping, and traveling photos.
Living in the west shuangjing of Jiezhuang, it is very convenient to eat, drink and have fun, but if you want to see the original life of the locals, you have to go to the periphery.
1. Shwedagon Pagoda
The most representative of the West Shuangjing of Jiezhuang is the Shwedagon Pagoda.
The architecture and layout are also basically built around the Golden Tower.
The famous Starlight Night Market is located in the square on the south side of the Golden Pagoda and in the alleys on the east and west sides.
Shwedagon Pagoda, also known as the Shwedagon Pagoda of Myanmar.
The base of the stupa is made of brick, and there are Buddha niches on the walls, and some of the Buddha images are placed in the middle of the niches.
The tower body is shining gold, although I don't know if it is made of pure gold, but in the sun or night light, the spire is very dazzling.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is 66.6 meters high, and from the number itself, it is very in line with the auspicious meaning of the moment.
And its real meaning is one river connecting six countries. The river is the Lancang River flowing next to the Shwedagon Pagoda.
Overseas, the Lancang River is called the Mekong River. It connects Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and China, a total of six countries.
There are four small solid towers on each side of the Golden Pagoda, representing the four realms.
The grandeur can be felt in the architectural details.
Shwedagon Pagoda is also a must-see attraction for shooting in Banna (free), and there are several camera spots:
1. On the north side of the Shwedagon Pagoda, the terrain is high here, and you can take photos with the Golden Pagoda
2. The reflection of the white elephant in the pools on both sides
3. The pavilions on both sides of the south side of the Golden Pagoda
4. Starlight Night Market and Golden Pagoda
Note: There are monks inside the Shwedagon Pagoda, and girls are not allowed in short skirts and shorts above the knee
2. Starlight Night Market
Living in Jiezhuang West Shuangjing, many people mentioned that it is very convenient to visit Starlight Night Market.
But I've been to a night market in Thailand, and I really can't see it here.
The goods are similar, and the catering hygiene is average.
If you want to buy some props for travel photography, such as rattan bags, Thai wide-leg pants, etc., you can do it, there is not much room for bargaining.
The food at the night market is too touristy, and there should be no locals who eat here. I just walked around, brainwashed by TikTok songs, and was very irritated by the sales of travel shoots.
It is recommended to go to the vicinity of Starlight Night Market during the day, around the street where the Shwedagon Pagoda and the night market are located, there is no noise at night, quiet and cute.
3. Accommodation
I still choose Atour Hotel, Xishuangbanna Jiuzhuang Atour Hotel is in Jiazhuang, and it is convenient to take a taxi around.
Room type: not much difference, compact layout. Kiki room type is located on the upper floor and has a view of the Golden Pagoda.
Breakfast: exceptionally good, plentiful, varied and local character. Basically breakfast is good, play and eat another lunch and dinner is enough
Restaurant: Located on the top floor, there is a small pool, and the table has a view of the Golden Pagoda, which makes the process of eating breakfast more comfortable
Service: I met the customer service manager from Guizhou, a handsome guy, who can take care of the unspoken needs of customers, quite considerate.
4. Travel photography
Banna's travel photography business is particularly good, you can choose a store in advance, and there are many sales on the street after you arrive. Go to Starlight Night Market and you will be greeted dozens of times.
Travel shops can rent clothes for only 80 yuan. Need headdress and other accessories props 20 yuan-100 yuan; Makeup 20-120 yuan.
