I thought Hainan was beautiful, until I came to Xishuangbanna.

"Xishuangbanna: The 'Tropical Rainforest Kingdom' on the Tropic of Cancer" Here's your guide to a wild 3-day, 3-night Water Splashing Festival in Xishuangbanna! On the first day, head straight to the Gaozhuang Golden Pagoda. It's less crowded during the day, perfect for photos! In the evening, hit up the largest starlight night market in Asia and eat your way through the delicious food. On the second day, visit the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The west area is stunningly beautiful for photos! In the afternoon, head to the Dai Nationality Garden for the water splashing battle. Be prepared to get soaked! On the third day, check out the General Buddhist Temple and Manting Park. The magnificent palaces are perfect for taking photos. Keep the party going at the riverside night market in the evening. The Water Splashing Festival from April 13th to 15th will be packed with people, so it's recommended to travel between April 10th and 16th to avoid the crowds. Book your flights and hotels in advance, or the prices will skyrocket! Apply three layers of sunscreen! Don't miss the barbecue and banana pancakes on Mandou Street. Pounded chicken feet are spicy and sour, perfect for whetting your appetite, and Paoluda is the ultimate dessert! Make sure you have all your water splashing gear, including water guns and basins. It's more fun to splash water in a group, so grab your friends and join the fun! Remember to waterproof your phone during the Water Splashing Festival and leave valuables behind. Finally, a reminder: be respectful when splashing water, and avoid splashing the elderly and children.
