    I think the fact that dinner was included, the price for the show plus the dinner makes it worth it. Do not expect a fancy treatment, though. The canteen was a little bit chaotic with people fighting for an eat-all-you-can buffet style, where you had cold and hot sections and some orange juice. The place was not that clean and some people didn't know how to line-up. The show was nice, even without any translation, it was still understandable. The theater needs some renovation. I still recommend it since the place is near the night market, and the aftershow included a psycholedilc bonfire. Then end your night with a massage inside the night market.

    As the morning light passed the golden spire of the Prague Temple, the stone steps around the tower were warm. On the cool slate, the tower's relief sky and lotus flowed in the light and shadow, like a flowing scripture. The wind moved slowly clockwise, the wind through the horn of the copper bell, the clear echo, and the distant faint chanting sound. Fingers occasionally swirled through the tower wall, rough stone with the temperature of daylight, as if touching the texture of time. Turning to the third circle, the heart gradually quiet, the surrounding voices, tree shadows have become a blurred background, only footsteps and ringing, a circle around the stable track, like the miscellaneous thoughts gently wrapped into the ring of the tower.

    The park isn't very big overall, and the facilities are indeed old. However, for 40 yuan, seeing so many animals is still reasonably priced. You can also visit the adjacent ethnic minority cultural park while you're there.

    Manting Royal Garden is a quiet and elegant classical garden, with flowers and trees scattered and the path is winding, as if slowly spreading a painting in an ancient poem. During the stroll, pavilions and pavilions are reflected in the pool, and occasionally the sound of crisp spring water can be heard, which is calming. The most beautiful sights in the garden are several attractions, from which you can overlook the red wall roof of the palace, and the deep green in the garden. What touched me most was that a breeze blew, the shadows swayed, and the sun beat on the slate. At that moment, it seemed that you could hear the gentle sound of the ancients walking. Such an environment makes people willing to slow down and feel the moment.

    It was quite exciting to take a speedboat. It swayed left and right on the Lancang River, splashing water. The transvestite show at the back was also okay. It was not expensive to take a photo for 50 yuan, and you could also eat some fruit.

    There are fewer people in the riverside night market on rainy days. On March 19, 2025, I rode an electric bike to the vicinity of Xishuangbanna Bridge (also known as the New Bridge). Take a break under the bridge, hide for a while, take pictures of the Starlight Night Market and Xishuangbanna Bridge opposite Gaozhuang, and then visit the riverside night market. The riverside night market is located on the side of the riverside park on Binjiang Avenue, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, separated from the Lancang River by Binjiang Avenue. The riverside night market is above the embankment, and you need to climb stairs up and down. The starting point is near the Xishuangbanna Bridge, and the end point is in the south, which may be one kilometer long.
