6 Days Xishuangbanna Jingmai Mountain Tour

Come with us for an unforgettable journey through the lush landscapes and vibrant cultures of southern Yunnan! This 6-Day Xishuangbanna Jingmai Mountain Tour takes you from the tropical paradise of Xishuangbanna to the misty tea mountains of Jingmai, immersing you in a world where nature and tradition intertwine. Marvel at the kaleidoscope of plant life in China's largest botanical garden, join the joyful Water-Splashing Festival at the golden-spired Mengle Grand Buddhist Temple, and lose yourself in the melodic rhythms of Laodabao's self-taught Lahu musicians. Each day brings new wonders, from hands-on experiences with Dai artisans to strolls through 1,300-year-old royal gardens, offering a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich ethnic heritage.
 
The magic continues as you ascend into the emerald-green tea highlands of Jingmai Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where time seems to stand still. Wander through ancient tea forests where thousand-year-old trees whisper stories of generations past, and explore the rustic charm of Nuogan and Wengji villages - living museums of Dai and Bulang culture. Here, every cup of tea tells a story, every thatched-roof home reveals centuries-old traditions, and the mountain air hums with the quiet rhythm of tea-growing life. From the vibrant energy of Xishuangbanna to the serene beauty of Jingmai's tea terraces, this journey offers a perfect harmony of adventure, culture, and natural splendor.
