Whenever I travel to a city, my favorite thing to do is to go to the night market that the locals like to visit. Xishuangbanna is a place I like very much, I have come every year in recent years, and every time I come, I will come to the street night market, in the rich atmosphere of fireworks, feel the exotic multi-ethnic culture.
Xishuangbanna is a multi-ethnic city, where there are 13 ethnic minorities mainly inhabited by the Dai ethnic group, because it is located in the humid tropical area south of the Tropic of Cancer, no matter what season we come in, the climate here is very warm, and many northerners will come here to buy a house for the elderly.
At the Mekong Six Nations Floating Market, when night falls, colorful lights dot the river, sparkling, boats shuttle between the water houses, such a picture is very beautiful.
The most enjoyable thing at night is to visit the chao swing street night market, the Dai people are used to the rush market called the rush swing, which is also the origin of the rush to swing the street, because of the special geographical location, the night market of the swing street, whether it is food or tourist souvenirs, is different from what we see in other places, full of ethnic minority style, even tropical fruits, are peeled off neatly placed, looking very tempting.
The rocking ice seen on the night market, 2 yuan a piece, in the steaming weather, while eating popsicles while shopping, very feeling.
Xishuangbanna is connected with Laos, Myanmar landscapes, and Thailand, Vietnam neighbors, many small objects on the night market, are from Thai Laos, like this coconut shell made of handicrafts, which are inlaid with shells, and some are hand-drawn, from Thailand, 40 yuan a piece, attracting a lot of tourists.
Come to the night market can taste the barbecue here, very local characteristics, the variety is also particularly many, especially lemongrass grilled fish, is my personal favorite, belongs to the first ranked Xishuangbanna traditional cuisine, fish crisp, delicious taste, if you like to eat Southeast Asian food, you should especially like.
In the night market, also saw a variety of insects, centipedes, bee pupae, grasshoppers, spiders, know, really eye-opening, I have seen in nanning, Guangxi night market, but there are not so many varieties of Xishuangbanna, where the general is artificially farmed Kunming, here do not know, I think there should be some wild bar, look very scary, but eat a lot of tourists.
Rush to swing the street night market is very formal, the partition is also very obvious, the food area and the clothing area and the souvenir area are very good to visit, here to find treasures, maybe you can find a few of your favorite small objects, I have harvested every time I come. Especially clothes, skirts full of ethnic style, many girls like, and ethnic style earring bracelets, I will buy every time I come.
There are also Southeast Asian foods sold on the night market, bringing together the cuisine of 6 countries, like Lao snacks, putting all kinds of meat together, you need to mash it with various spices to eat, it is said to be delicious, I did not try.
Xishuangbanna's night market is the most lively and best night market to visit, with a variety of flavors of food and exotic specialty goods, which makes many tourists linger.
