Features: Xishuangbanna is truly wonderful; once you visit, you'll want to go back again and again, never getting tired of it. Because Xishuangbanna is filled with smiles that overflow from the heart, flowing naturally in the air, almost touchable. Xishuangbanna has a subtropical climate and is a warm place. When you bask in the relaxed atmosphere here, you'll find your heart is warm too, because the smiles come from the beautiful Xiaobushao, the cheerful Xiaobu hats, and the kind old Mitaotao; from the large green trees, from the fresh flowers, from the Fengweishu; from the Lancang River, Suolo River, and Nanlan River. Everything in Xishuangbanna is smiling, sincere and unguarded. So when you visit Xishuangbanna, you must let your whole body relax, let your spirit be pure like a blank sheet of paper, then carry only a simple backpack, and be even more relaxed—just like the song sings: "Horse, walk a bit slower, let me see this beautiful scenery enough." Only then can you gradually fill your heart with beauty and smiles: then leave with the purity of a baby, reluctant to go. Return to the polluted place where you live, and dirty yourself again. Then, again, look forward to returning to Banna. This book introduces various aspects of Xishuangbanna. A map showing the distribution of attractions in Xishuangbanna is provided at the beginning of the book, and a list of folk culture and photography tourism routes, folk culture, and ecological hiking routes are included at the end.
