This is not Bali, we stayed with the kids at a rainforest hotel in Xishuangbanna

Stayed at a super satisfying rainforest hotel with the kids! Don’t overlook this hidden gem‼️ A warm little city with an average annual temperature of 22°C. This time we stayed at a treasure hotel with the kids 📌 Anantara Resort Thai-style architecture hidden in the rainforest, rooms surrounded by greenery The room I booked has a huge riverside terrace Open the window and a whole stretch of tropical plants sway right before your eyes🍃 - 🌴 Xishuangbanna must-do list #RainforestHiking The joy of barefoot creek walking is something only true fans understand #WildElephantValley Watching elephants bathe is super healing #CASBotanicalGarden A real-life botanical encyclopedia #ManzhangVillage Making Dai pottery by hand is so interesting - 🚗 Sharing our itinerary D1⃣ Arrive in Xishuangbanna - Starlight Night Market Hotel: Sunac Crowne Plaza All day: Arrived early to visit the [Great Golden Pagoda], in the evening visited the [Starlight Night Market], tasted snacks, strolled along the Lancang River, quietly enjoying the beautiful night view across the river D2⃣ Rainforest Adventure Hotel: Sunac Crowne Plaza ✔ Followed a guide into the rainforest, learned about bleeding trees ✔ Creek trekking to catch crabs, climbed a 30-meter banyan tree—super thrilling ✔ The kids kept saying “Wow! Mom, look at this!” D3⃣ Wild Elephant Valley - Dai Village Hotel: Sunac Crowne Plaza ✔ Acted as elephant caretakers, gave elephants baths and fed them ✔ Learned intangible cultural heritage Dai pottery in Manzhang Village, danced the elephant foot dance—so much fun ✔ Dinner was a Peacock Feast with hand-grabbed rice D4⃣ CAS Botanical Garden Hotel: Anantara Resort ✔ Walked 20,000 steps in the CAS Botanical Garden ✔ Checked off giant water lilies, dancing grass, and the bleeding heart tree ✔ Night tour to find fireflies—remember to bring a jacket! D5⃣ Happy return home from Xishuangbanna - 📮 Tips: 1️⃣ Xishuangbanna has a tropical rainforest climate, with an annual average temperature of 18-30℃, average 20℃, but July and August can still be a bit hot 2️⃣ Jino Mountain rainforest hiking is very interesting; the whole route is fun and not too tiring. Remember to bring rain boots and some snacks for energy 3️⃣ The night view at Starlight Night Market is really beautiful, but be careful with photos—many makeup and post-editing skills are not great 4️⃣ When traveling with kids, it’s recommended to join family-friendly tours for peace of mind. Don’t be tempted by low-cost tours; you get what you pay for. . 👉【Charter Tours】 【Customized Tours】 【Private Groups】 all available~ To get the same itinerary, tap the bottom left of the screen 【Chat with TA】 to get a plan!
