Rainforest Morning Reading Time by the Dai King's Palace

【Introduction】: This was once the royal garden of the Dai King, known among the Dai people as "Chun Huan," meaning "Garden of the Soul." It is like a living history book, quietly narrating the past and heritage of the Dai people. ⛺【Activity Guide】: Morning Entry: It is recommended to enter the park between 7:30 and 8:00 AM through the west gate of Manting Park. At this time, there are fewer visitors, allowing you to enjoy a tranquil atmosphere. After entering, head straight to the Dai King's Palace area. Morning Light at the Dai King's Palace: Arrive at the Dai King's Palace before 8:00 AM, when the first rays of sunlight pierce through the carved windows, illuminating the magnificent golden architecture of the palace. You can wear traditional Dai attire (available for rent at the park for about 50 RMB/hour) and find a suitable spot in front of the palace. With the gilded eaves and peacock-blue glazed tiles as your backdrop, begin your morning reading session. The soft light is perfect for reading and also for capturing atmospheric "royal consort on tour" style photos. Rainforest Stroll and Morning Reading: Around 9:00 AM, set off from the Dai King's Palace to the nearby tropical rainforest area. Pick up a free "Rainforest Passport" from the visitor center and embark on a plant exploration journey. Stroll through the strangler fig maze and pause at the "Tree Wrapped Pagoda" wonder. Surrounded by a serene atmosphere, immerse yourself in the world of your book. Occasionally, look up to enjoy the Zen-like scene of falling leaves. Frangipani Tunnel's Literary Charm: Follow the route to the Frangipani Tunnel, which is in full bloom from May to October. Wearing a light-colored long dress, find a bench to sit on and continue your morning reading amidst the floral rain. The octagonal pavilion in the distance adds a unique charm to your reading setting. You can read while feeling the romance of flower petals occasionally landing on your shoulder. 🧡【Tips】: Accommodations and dining options around the park are cost-effective and convenient for travel.
