DAILY ROUTE

Day by day, matched to the route family.

The route below keeps the conversion promise clear. Confirm gateway timing, realistic transfers, comfort level, and which optional extension truly belongs before the route is fixed.

D1

Arrive in Jinghong and stay near Gaozhuang / riverside if night-market access matters. Use the evening for Starlight Night Market, Mekong riverside, and a light Dai-style dinner; do not schedule a distant rainforest stop on arrival.

D2

Choose one main Banna spring: Wild Elephant Valley / rainforest-style nature if wildlife and forest matter, or Manting Park + Zongfo Temple + Dai village / cultural park if culture and easier pacing matter. Do not try to do both at full depth in one short stay.

D3

Use a light local layer before departure: Manting Park, a tea / market stop, or a short riverside walk depending on flight time. If the flight is early, keep the morning clean.
