A DIFFERENT YUNNAN
Beyond the highlands, a greener kind of stay.
Xishuangbanna rewards attention: a guide identifying plants beneath the canopy, a breeze on the river, then a return to a courtyard and pool. The landscape becomes familiar when you stay a little longer.
Use Jinghong as a base, with distinct excursions to Jinuo Mountain, Wild Elephant Valley and Menglun. Keep arrival and departure days clear and give each of the three middle days its own theme.
Along the river
The Lancang River and Wild Elephant Valley connect river and rainforest, with room for weather and changing plans.

BEFORE YOU GO
A few useful starting points.
How do five days and four nights work?
Stay four nights in Jinghong. Days 1 and 5 are for transfers; the three middle days cover Jinuo Mountain, Wild Elephant Valley and the Lancang River, then the botanical garden and Dai Garden.
Are flights included in the reference price?
No. Approximately CNY 8,000 per person is based on 12–16 guests sharing two to a room. Hotel breakfast is included; flights, intercity travel and other meals are excluded. The final quotation confirms the total.
Are the researcher and water activities guaranteed?
The named specialist and date require confirmation. Rafting, stream walks, speedboats, horse riding, managed elephant activities and water-splashing depend on access, conditions and participant suitability.
Can this be adapted for a family or smaller group?
Yes. Group size changes the vehicle, rooms, guiding arrangements and per-person cost. Share your month, group size and walking preferences for a revised proposal.
