shopping guide

The tropical rain forest in Xishuangbanna is rich in biological treasures, and is known as "the kingdom of animals and plants", "the kingdom of plants" and "the hometown of medicinal materials". No matter in scenic spots or urban areas, Dai women sell Dai-style clothes, handicrafts and bamboo weaving handicrafts, as well as preserved tropical dried fruits and tea (Pu 'er tea), which are cheap and good, so try to bargain as much as possible. For example, the painted wood carvings of the Dai people are generally heavier, and the better the quality, the more pictographic. The big one is about 100, and the small one is dozens. Another example is Dai brocade, which is generally around 60 yuan. Tips: Most items such as "Burmese jade" bought by tourists in the market are fakes. Don't be greedy and cheap.

travel notes

1, Banna air tickets are in short supply and need to be booked in advance; 2. In order to guard against mosquitoes and strong sunlight, it is necessary to prepare mosquito repellent and sunscreen products; 3. Respect the living habits of Dai and other ethnic minorities when visiting; 4. There are many jewels and jade in Banna area, so be careful when buying; 5. When traveling to border areas such as Myanmar, special attention should be paid to safety and health. 6. Don't trust taxi drivers. They will take you to various "underground casinos". Sometimes, you have to call the tour guide to get out of trouble. You may have spent a lot of money before the tour guide arrived. 7. Team meals are the last resort. Tour guides and drivers often don't eat this kind of food. It is suggested to cancel the meals provided by the travel agency and book them outside. If your tour guide is conscientious, you will eat well and cheaply. 8. Don't bring out bad habits. It's a bad habit to steal from the supermarket or put something in your mouth casually. This will embarrass your tour guide. In the future, he will publicize everywhere that people in your province are thieves. 9. Don't think that the tour guide is a lady, which will make you look like a fool. Of course, it's hard for others to change you if you don't mind. 10. In fact, the route of the travel agency is not the best, but the most convenient. On these routes, food, clothing, housing and transportation are readily available. If you are a demanding person, don't join a travel agency; If you are an ordinary person, don't leave the travel agency. 1 1. Most of the time, the city is safe, even at night. The terrible thing is people. You should pay attention to the local dialect. People who can't speak the local dialect had better not believe it. Those foreigners who come to Xishuangbanna to survive are under great pressure. Can you understand why they make money by hook or by crook? 12. When eating barbecue, you must find Dai people to eat. Dai people are easy to distinguish. Just listen to them or watch them get dressed. The barbecue of Han people often makes you dissatisfied, which will ruin the reputation of the whole barbecue industry in Xishuangbanna. 13. Sleep honestly at night and unplug the telephone line before going to sleep. Maybe they'll knock on your door. For my health, for the health of my family, and for my wallet. Better refuse. 14, the tour guide will change her (him) without explanation, and politely tell the travel agency that we need a knowledgeable, cheerful and generous tour guide.
