I went out for a stroll at night and didn't know there was a night market here. I just saw the lights were on and followed the light. When I got there, it was like I discovered a new world. It's also under the Shwedagon Pagoda, facing the Lancang River. It's a very large area, selling all kinds of things, including food, drinks, clothes and fun. It's worth a visit.
Xishuangbanna is quiet during the day! Only at night does it slowly unveil its mysterious veil! The Milky Way in the sky and the stars on the ground. At night, Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is prosperous and crowded with tourists. It turns into a beautiful city that never sleeps! The night always reflects the great inclusiveness of a city. The Starlight Night Market embraces all art, culture and dreams!
The Starlight Night Market is a bit like the Ratchada Night Market in Thailand that I recommended before, but it is much bigger than Ratchada! You can take a look at the panoramic view, I was a little shocked! No wonder it is called the most beautiful night market in Southeast Asia; it is also the largest and most distinctive night market in the Greater Golden Triangle. Because when you pass by during the day, it is just a lane, it is hard to imagine that it is so prosperous at night.
Each small stall here will hold a beautiful small umbrella with bright lights hanging on it, so that it looks like starlight. At night, it is really popular. You can see the crowds of people from afar. The stalls in the night market are like stars under the lights, which is very beautiful. Even if there are many people queuing at the stalls, you won’t feel irritated after queuing for a long time. Maybe this is the unique magic of this place? Anyway, I think it’s magical haha.
The night market is connected to the Shwedagon Pagoda. Standing at the Shwedagon Pagoda and looking down, it is a beautiful city that never sleeps. When I saw it for the first time, I was super excited. It is different from other night markets I have visited before. The atmosphere here is great. Although I don’t know my friends from all over the world, the laughter and joy everywhere make me feel inexplicably better!
The Starlight Night Market has handicrafts, special snacks, ethnic costumes, pottery, etc. from countries in the Mekong River Basin, which are dazzling, just like the deep river behind you, shining with magnificent light in the night. Whenever I walk to the stalls selling small accessories, I can't move my feet. All kinds of decorative small objects, exotic costumes and exquisite embroidery of ethnic minorities are so exquisite, unique, interesting and cute. I am so excited to come here to see those items that I have never touched before. Every handicraft here seems to be full of spirituality! I can't wait to take them all home
In the bustling Xingguang Night Market, the most tempting thing is of course the fragrant specialties! You can eat authentic Banna food here. Whether you are a foodie or not, you will become a glutton here. You can eat from the beginning to the end of the night market. There are rich and diverse delicious snacks, as well as my favorite tropical fruits. You can eat as much as you want here. I don’t know how to write the word "weight loss" a long time ago. The key is that the prices here are really conscience. A glass of freshly squeezed juice is only 10 yuan. Isn’t it incredible?
Then there are so many kinds of food here that it is amazing: not only are there Southeast Asian food such as Laos and Myanmar, but there are also grilled seafood, Sichuan barbecue, grilled bean curd, old sugar man, stinky tofu, fried tripe and many other kinds of food from all over the country that I can't name. The rich variety of food is eye-opening. When you come to Xishuangbanna, Xingguang Night Market can be said to be the most worthwhile place to check in. Don't think that one night is enough~ This place will make you linger.
When I arrived at the night market, I found it was really lively. It was open from 18:00 to 24:00, which was the beginning of the night life. The Shwedagon Pagoda was extremely beautiful when the lights were turned on. I think half of Xishuangbanna's beauty is due to its brilliance at night. The night market has a wide variety of things, including barbecue, fruits, clothes, jewelry, and there are two stages performing local songs and dances as well as Southeast Asian songs and dances. It doesn't feel boring to visit every day.
The Starlight Night Market is located in the Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Scenic Area, with the Shwedagon Pagoda behind it and the Lancang River in front of it. It is the core of the Gaozhuang Night Market. The Starlight Night Market is also a popular night market with a strong Southeast Asian style. When night falls, thousands of handmade lanterns and starlight decorations are lit at the same time, forming a dazzling "galaxy carpet" visual effect. There are more than 2,000 stalls in the night market, such as Dai barbecue (such as lemongrass grilled fish), tropical fruits (freshly cut mangoes and durian), ethnic handicrafts (Dai brocade, silver ornaments) and six countries' special products (Laos coffee, Thai latex pillows). The reason for checking in and taking photos is that the scene has a high rate of film output (Shwedagon Pagoda + starlight background) and rich business formats, serious commercialization, many homogeneous products, crowded during peak hours, and some stalls are 30%-50% more expensive than in the city. Avoid entering the market on weekends and holidays.
Every time I think of the scene of thousands of stars under the Golden Pagoda, I feel warmly moved. The Golden Pagoda is like a kind Buddha, watching the people and the colorful world under his feet. With the hustle and bustle of the world day after day, will his heart be disturbed? The snacks and handicrafts at the night market are similar, but the most important thing is to feel the atmosphere here.
The most important thing to do when you go to Banna is to shop and eat! The Xingguang Night Market is definitely a must-visit destination when you go to Banna.
Here, you can not only taste all kinds of special snacks in Banna and the most authentic Dai cuisine, but also experience the most enthusiastic toast songs of Dai girls. After eating and drinking, you can also visit the unique Liuguo Floating Market and visit the Shwedagon Pagoda for blessings and prayers.
The night market in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is located on the banks of the Mekong River. It incorporates a strong Southeast Asian style and combines food, humanities, folk crafts and other cultures. It is said to be the largest, most distinctive, most prosperous and most popular night market in the Greater Golden Triangle.
There are nearly a thousand stalls here. In addition to local citizens, there are also people from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries setting up stalls.
Because I can check in the scenery of Xishuangbanna's fireworks at one time
The most distinctive feature of Xishuangbanna is the Dai culture, and the Starlight Night Market is located at the foot of the most Dai-style building in Xishuangbanna - the Hongjing Shwedagon Pagoda. It can satisfy your photography needs of religious customs, architecture and local cultural elements at the same time.
The Starlight Night Market is located in Gaozhuang, the most central location in Xishuangbanna. Most hotels and homestays are nearby and can be reached on foot.
Moreover, the night market only opens in the evening. For those who don’t want to travel under the scorching sun (Xishuangbanna is hotter than Thailand in summer), traveling at this time is the best choice.
Because it can meet the needs of eating and shopping at the same time
The food at the night market may not be the cheapest, but it definitely has the most choices and the most local characteristics. There are also many special products that can be found here!
Several recommended ways to visit the night market
First, go to the Shwedagon Pagoda half an hour before sunset, take photos in front of the pagoda and then walk around the pagoda three times to pray. You can also take a bird's-eye view of the starry night market from the stairs on the back of the pagoda. The pagoda during the day and under the lights will give you different feelings.
Then, you can buy Dai costumes and small accessories here. The low prices ensure that you can take folk movies throughout your trip!
After that, it’s time for snacks. Don’t go to a restaurant for dinner before shopping!!!
The snacks along the way are your best food, and the prices at the street stalls are relatively low.
Recommend a few special snacks that I like (in no particular order)
Dai-flavored lemon noodles: a bit like Vietnamese lemon soup, sour and spicy
Dai-flavored Chun chicken feet: tastes like green papaya salad, sour and spicy
Dai-style lemongrass grilled fish: lemongrass + spicy flavor
Pineapple rice: whole pineapple, purple rice
Grilled beef: whole piece of beef grilled on charcoal
Zhang Xiaoqian’s shop: Fried mango yogurt, whole mango fried with high-quality yogurt, a big bowl for just over a dozen yuan.
There are also other snacks: Laotian coffee, cold rice noodles, coated tofu, special rice rolls, barbecue, etc. They are all good and you can choose freely.
The last thing to do is of course take photos!
If you don't take photos at this night market, it's a waste of time! You can also experience ethnic costumes here.
The Xingguang Night Market is really big, with several streets intersecting and a lot of people. There are only a few kinds of goods and snacks, nothing new. Everywhere you go, you can see Dai clothes and head flowers of similar colors and styles, small commodities wholesaled nationwide, and most of the food is grilled skewers, cold dishes, coconut milk, milk tea, etc., and the taste is also average. Across the Lancang River, across the Liuguo Floating Market is the music in the small bar, and many Hani girls are taking photos by the river. Go up the steps in the direction of the Buddha, and you can overlook the entire night market. The steps are full of girls and photographers taking photos.
Scan the QR code at the entrance of the Shwedagon Pagoda to register and enter. Do not wear short skirts or pants, after all, it is a temple. If you are wearing a short skirt or shorts, you can enter through the side door.
Although I have seen many photos of the Starlight Night Market on the Internet, I was still amazed when I walked around the back of the temple and stood on the stairs to see the entire night market come into view.
We randomly found a shop by the river, and while enjoying the breeze from the river, we chatted and ate barbecue. It was so comfortable that I couldn’t describe it.
When I went there during the Spring Festival, there were a lot of people at the Xingguang Night Market, and the traffic was basically blocked every day. The sanitation and environment on the ground were quite different from what I imagined.
A must-visit place when you arrive in Xishuangbanna. It is recommended to come at night!
The streets are crowded with snacks and fireworks from the ancient pagoda.
Xingguang Night Market is one of the must-visit places for tourists to Xishuangbanna. It sells a wide variety of goods and also has many food stalls.
Located to the south of the Shwedagon Pagoda, the night market is great and simply stunning. The name of the Starlight Night Market is apt. It is a great experience whether you look at it from a high place or go down to walk around.
Stalls, barbecues, juices, restaurants, and alleys are great places to take photos
There is no one buying things in the market during the day, only at night, so it is best to go in the evening
After visiting the Wangtianshu Scenic Area, we returned to Gaozhuang Xishuangjing with the tour bus. The Starlight Night Market has become lively.
Behind the Shwedagon Pagoda is the Starlight Night Market in Gaozhuang. The stalls are usually open at 6 or 7 in the evening. It is the busiest place after the sun sets. The night market has basically everything. What attracts me most is the Dai-style barbecue. It is very comfortable to enjoy the sunset, feel the breeze, and eat barbecue by the Lancang River.
The lighting at the night market is very beautiful, and there are many small commodities. Most of the business owners are from the north, which is like going to the northeastern version of Xishuangbanna. Don't buy high-priced goods if you don't understand the prices. There is a toy seller next to the Wangfu Restaurant in the alley on the right side of the Shwedagon Pagoda. Don't buy anything there if you bring children, or you will be ripped off!
What a beautiful night market! Looking down from the pagoda, I couldn’t help but exclaim “Oh my god!”
The Starlight Night Market is also a popular place for internet celebrities. It is very big, covering several streets. Basically, there are small stalls, selling Bodhi seeds, clothes, fruits, barbecue, small accessories and so on. There are many kinds of things. It is quite nice to stroll there after dinner, digest the food and look at the small things.
The Starlight Night Market surrounding the Shwedagon Pagoda is huge, and you can find everything from snacks to small items here.
I don't have any feelings about visiting night markets.
I always thought that night markets all over the country sold the same small commodities wholesaled from Yiwu and special snacks that can be bought all over the country.
Unexpectedly, the Starlight Night Market really gave us a surprise.
The night market on the river bank is brightly lit. Looking down from the steps of the Shwedagon Pagoda, you have the illusion of being in a Thai night market.
Lively and beautiful.
A lively night market with many folk trinkets
I have to recommend Xingguang Night Market. The main dinner here is barbecue. They also sell small parts, toys, and other food. This time I came just in time for the summer carnival, so there were all kinds of ethnic performances and even dances from Southeast Asian countries. If you like traditional Dai clothing, you can also go there. There are so many clothing stores that I don’t know which one to buy. I like it very much. It gives a very good first impression.
As soon as it got dark, I looked down from the Shwedagon Pagoda and saw the most stunning Starlight Night Market. So I started to visit the Starlight Night Market, which had beautiful scenery, ethnic food, drinks and entertainment, and played until after 10 o'clock in the evening.
This is my favorite night market because it is really nice to take pictures. It is set up along the two streets of Gaozhuang. There are several barbecue stalls on the street. In the middle, some sell small jewelry and there are many spray-on tattoos.
If you like, you can spray one for fun. It’s not expensive. The small one is only 5 yuan, and the big one is only 50 or 60 yuan.
The Vietnamese rice noodle rolls at Xingguang Night Market are delicious, and I recommend them as a must-try.
The Starlight Night Market is as famous as it is. The lights are on and the stars are shining, which makes the tiredness of the past few days disappear. The Mekong River is next to the night market. The lowest rent for the stalls here is only 500 yuan/month. Many people from Northeast China do business here. I believe that Banna has a promising future and will become one of the important hubs connecting China with Southeast Asia.
The Xingguang Night Market is very lively. When walking around, you can hear a lot of Northeastern accents. It seems that most of the businessmen are from the Northeast. It seems that Xishuangbanna is about to be occupied by people from the Northeast. The owner of the youth hostel is from the Northeast, the owner of the first breakfast shop I ate is from the Northeast, and most of the owners of the Xingguang Night Market are also from the Northeast...
Selling some unique things. The night view and the combination of lights make it particularly beautiful. Barbecue is indispensable when visiting the night market. There are many people eating barbecue here at night. The recommended food includes grilled fish with lemongrass, fried rice noodles (actually roasted rice noodles), various grilled skewers and freshly squeezed fruits. It would be a shame if you don’t eat fruits when you come to Banna.
The Starlight Night Market is located on the bank of the Mekong River. Yes, it is the Mekong River that flows to Thailand. It is also called the Mekong River Night Market, but it is not called the Mekong River in China. It is also very large and has no fixed opening hours. Anyway, the night market starts when it gets dark. They start preparing to open the shops at around 6-7 o'clock.
Except for the Dai ethnic food, it's basically just barbecue. If you've been to a night market in Thailand, you'll find it's basically the same.
The lights on every path are flickering but slightly different: Dai ethnic costumes, exotic silver jewelry, Spanish travelers' agate, ice-cold freshly squeezed juice, the fragrant Dai barbecue, and the endless night market, as if being caught in a gorgeous dream catcher, bring the dreams in your mind to your eyes.
My first impression was that this place was too much like Thailand, just like the weekend night market in Chiang Mai. Walking into the night market, you can see Southeast Asian products everywhere. Look, the cute Ganesha appears again.
It is actually a barbecue street, and there are also small things sold in between. There is a fried tofu and fried potato vendor at the door. Since it is still a Starlight Silver Award snack, I really think it is not much different from the usual fried tofu. The small portion is 8 yuan, with about 6 slices of tofu, hehe. I recommend a small stall next to the juice stall. The stall sells cold rice noodles and pounded chicken feet. They are all sour and spicy. There is also pineapple rice for 20 yuan each, which is much better than Man Feilong. What JB Internet celebrity store, I really don’t know which one was the first to be popular. If you want to eat barbecue, it’s up to you. They are all similar. The grilled pork belly tastes good. The grilled fish here is generally tilapia. Except for the taste of spices, the taste of tilapia is actually just like that. I recommend some Thai and Vietnamese snacks, including barbecue. If you want to buy fruit, there is a Mange wholesale market nearby. It is recommended to buy it there. There are many varieties in the morning. The avocados here are really huge! The one that comes directly on the banana leaf is Man Feilong’s pineapple rice, and the pineapples below are the pineapple rice at the night market. Man Feilong 28 Night Market 20 = =
Xishuangbanna is not big, but its nightlife is richer than that of the city. Especially the food, sour and spicy, various wild vegetables, insect pupae, barbecue, let people who like snacks find their own paradise in the streets and alleys.
Actually, the snacks tasted very average, the environment was also very average, and the service was also very average, but the atmosphere was great. At 5 or 6 pm, the place gradually became lively. You can try the snacks inside, mainly to watch the people coming and going. The small gadgets are interesting. I went to Banna for a week and visited this night market three nights. It was really lively. I ordered two key chains here, which cost me 28 yuan, while Taobao only costs 12 yuan... It's just an atmosphere. It's still very pleasant to wander around without buying anything.
It's not the peak season yet but there are a lot of people. It's a big area, from both sides of the Shwedagon Pagoda to the square below the Shwedagon Pagoda, one after another small shops, all selling food and small items. But most of them are the same, all selling fruits, barbecue, clothes, etc.
There are two high platforms on both sides of the square below the Shwedagon Pagoda, where folk dance performances are performed (the guy on the right in the photo is really into dancing, 100 points!!!), as well as interactive sessions. There are several barbecue restaurants nearby, but the taste is average and quite expensive (15 yuan for a skewer of vegetarian food).
It's recommended to go and have a look. The consumption is really average, and most of the stalls are run by outsiders.
There are night markets all year round here, which is definitely a favorite of night owls. There are several night markets in Xishuangbanna, and I personally feel that Xingguang Night Market is more literary and quiet.
The Xingguang Night Market is a must-visit place in Xishuangbanna at night. There is everything to eat, drink, play and wear here.
Xingguang Night Market is located on the north bank of Lancang River in Jinghong City. It is a tourist market mainly for tourists. The market mainly sells food and beverage snacks, tourist souvenirs, tea and jewelry, etc. The consumption level is moderate.
Many of the vendors are not locals, and their attitudes are very rude. Don't go to the girl who sells drums and music CDs. Not only are they rude, but they also curse you all the time. Another male vendor who prints couple T-shirts is also very rude. If you don't print them after asking a few questions, he will curse and fight with you. The locals in Yunnan are actually quite nice. I've posted photos of the rude and rude vendors. You can identify them yourself. Don't make your trip unhappy. Don't buy anything from them. Photos of the rubbish vendors are attached.
There is a stage performance near the barbecue, which is very unique. For food, I recommend the nearby A Miao Tujia cuisine, Dailou Garden, and Dai wooden barrel fish. These restaurants are very close and the taste is really good after eating a few times.
The night market is a good place to relax. You can look at the small handicrafts sold there, but you don’t have to buy them. There are a lot of delicious food and a variety of freshly squeezed juices. You can eat from the beginning to the end of the street.
That girl was having so much fun, I couldn't bear to approach her.
As a tourist, if you stop by Gaozhuang, the first thing you must go to is Xingguang Night Market. No matter whether the food is good or not, it is definitely lively.
The wolf from the north...eats bugs and fish when it comes! If you come for a stroll after dinner, it's definitely worth it. The barbecue here is a bit disappointing 😞, but you can come and see it if you want to see something new!
After a long struggle, I decided to go for barbecue. I asked the bartender at the inn, but I was disappointed. I thought it was skewers, but it turned out to be barbecue. It was burnt and hard to swallow. It was such a waste of emotion. There was a man selling tofu and potatoes at the entrance. It was really good and worth recommending. In addition, I miss the spicy hot pot near the riverside night market. It was delicious and cheap. The boss was handsome. It was the only delicious meal I had in Yunnan for so many days. It’s a pity that I can’t find him... The grilled fish and pineapple rice in this restaurant are also delicious. The boss lady is beautiful and clean. I recommend it to my friends!
There are so many things to eat that I have difficulty choosing. I almost walked around four streets before I sat down to eat. If you want to buy handicrafts when traveling, you can go here. There are many special small commodities.
The environment around the store is good, the products are rich and varied, and the taste is good. It is worth a visit.
We were not disappointed. We ate a lot of Dai barbecue and it was really great. The prices were very reasonable. It only cost us 250 yuan, even though we were full.
The food is great. The fish wrapped in vegetables on the right side of the entrance to the Xingguang Night Market is great. The sauce is sour and spicy and delicious. The juice, coconut jelly, and Vietnamese rice noodle rolls are also great. It rained in the evening when I went there, and the night market was much quieter. Many stalls were not set up. I couldn't help but sigh at the comfortable temperament of the locals.
Come and eat the tofu at the old man's house. It's really delicious.
The beautiful Lancang River divides Jinghong City into two parts. On the north bank of the river, there is a place called "Gaozhuang Xishuangjing", which is a special tourist "scenic spot" that integrates food, accommodation, entertainment and fun. There are tall and majestic pagodas, unique ethnic buildings, and goods from Thailand, Laos and other countries. Here you can truly feel the rich Southeast Asian style. When night falls, you can wander in the bustling streets of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, visit the night market, eat barbecue, experience the food culture of various ethnic minorities in Xishuangbanna, and feel the essence of Xishuangbanna, a leisure tourism and vacation city.
Xingguang Night Market is a must-see when visiting Banna. It is even more convenient if you live in Gaozhuang. It is a newly built night market with a Thai feel. It is right below the temple and has everything. When we went there, there was a concert behind it. The environment is very nice. It is worth a visit.
Xingguang Night Market is located in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing. It is mainly for tourists around the Shwedagon Pagoda. At the foot of the Shwedagon Pagoda, there are some small items and special handicrafts. There is a paper umbrella on each stall. The price is relatively high. The same items in the surrounding aisles are cheaper. Most of the snacks are basically barbecue. The taste is very different. It is full of the aroma of spices. Baoshao is a special recommendation. The taste of Baoshao Flammulina enoki mushrooms is something you have to experience for yourself.
The people of Banna are passionate and generous by nature. With the freedom and openness of ethnic minorities, nightlife is naturally very important to them. The newest Starlight Night Market in Gaozhuang is as lively and bustling as its name suggests. National costumes, accessories, handicrafts, Thai medicines, etc. are displayed in order, accompanied by hand drum music, barbecue and beer not far away. You can spend the whole night here. Forget about time temporarily and give yourself some leisure time.
The Starlight Night Market is right next to the Shwedagon Pagoda. It only opens at night and is very popular. Various vendors set up special stalls here, and you can experience the unique local food and ethnic handicrafts.
The first place I went to when I arrived in Banna was the Xingguang Night Market. The Buddha looked particularly spectacular at night. At the foot of the Buddha was the night market, where all kinds of things were sold, including accessories, service, freshly squeezed juice, snacks, and bars.
I found a pair of bell-bottom pants at the night market for only 25 yuan. The stalls at the night market sell mostly unique items with few repetitions. I felt that the stall owners were not willing to bargain, or maybe our bargaining skills were too poor. We couldn't get the bargain after several attempts. Later, I just bought the items if the price was right, and I didn't bother to negotiate if it wasn't. Later, when I was traveling with a group, the tour guide told me that the stall fees at Xingguang Night Market were higher, so the items were generally a few yuan more expensive than those at the Riverside Night Market.
The atmosphere of the bar street is not as strong as that of Lijiang. When I went there, many shops were closed. It is a relatively quiet bar.
The Starlight Night Market is very lively. Not only is there food, but there are also singing and dancing performances, many stalls selling small handicrafts, and there are also boutiques. It is very good and worth a detailed visit.
Very beautiful. Locals said it was designed by Thai designers in Thai style. There is a starlight night market. When I went there, it was the Lemon Music Festival. There were also fireworks at the Shwedagon Pagoda. It was super beautiful. Recommended! The price of food is a bit expensive. It's about 5 yuan more expensive than ordinary places. But it doesn't affect the experience.
Because it is off-season, but still lively. It is less than 100 meters away from where I live. It is just outside. Usually after 8 pm, there are local delicacies and beautiful things on both sides of the road. I have been shopping for two consecutive days. I love coconut jelly and freshly squeezed juice the most. I also bought a hairpin for a friend.
It's super lively, with a lot of people, so pay attention to feel the atmosphere.
You must go to Xingguang Night Market, the small commodities are cheap and beautiful. The main thing is to bargain.
I went there almost every night. It's not that the night market is special, but the Sanheju where I live is right next to the night market. The important thing is that there is a stall selling fruit juice. The green mangoes are so delicious. There is nowhere to buy them during the day, so I must eat two at night before I can sleep peacefully. There is a hot pot restaurant in the night market that is not bad. Eating hot pot on a hot day with a cool breeze is also very delicious. Banna is very hot at noon, but it is still cool in the morning and evening.
The Xingguang Night Market is quite clean. Clothing, jewelry, food, everything is available! I bought four pairs of shoes, three pieces of clothing, a bag, and a scarf handmade from Thailand, which is very unique. They all have ethnic characteristics, I like them very much, and the prices are very affordable. They don't ask for a high price, and you can bargain! It's just that I'm not used to the Dai barbecue here. If you like it, you can have dinner here. I saw many people eating and drinking here until late! 😁
It's very lively every night, there are many little things to see, the stalls change every day, Laotian lemon juice is my favorite
I like this place~ It's very lively, and the food is all local. I love barbecue the most^^
The Starlight Night Market is the best night market I have ever been to. There are a lot of things here, including food, drinks, entertainment, and clothes. What I like most is that I can buy Thai food here. However, it is not sold on the street stalls. There are rows of shops on both sides of the road. If you want to buy something, you have to look for it yourself. I didn’t remember the house number at that time.
It's specially prepared for tourists, but the price is reasonable (negotiable), and it's a good place to take photos.
It was very lively, with so many handicrafts, ethnic costumes, fruits, supper, and barbecue. It was so dazzling.
It is a prosperous scene, with food, entertainment, things you have seen and not seen, representative specialties of various countries, and many boutiques, tea houses, restaurants, Thai cuisine, and Dai cuisine. If you have time, you can rent a bicycle and enjoy the tour slowly.
There are many small and large items sold in the night market. The Starlight Night Market has more interesting things than the Riverside Night Market. The things sold in the stalls here are very unique and artistic.
I know you all go to the night market by the river when you go to Xishuang. But I feel that there are too many people by the river and it is too commercialized. It is a feeling that I cannot explain.
Starlight Night Market is really a favorite for people like me who love night markets.
It should also be the only place in Xishuangbanna that is more literary and has a rich nightlife. There are snacks, dessert coffee, handicraft shops, bars, youth hostels, inns, night market streets, etc. It is very lively at night, and the lights are also very beautiful. It feels like being in Thailand. They are open late, and it is still quite lively at 11 o'clock. The dessert shops inside are simply amazing, each one is very distinctive, delicious, and romantic. It is more convenient to live here. It is nice to go out for a walk at night, drink some wine, eat some desserts, and blow the wind.
There are many forked roads in the night market. Remember the roads.
The things you buy at each lane are similar, but if you look closely you will find something new.
The ornaments here are really attractive.
[PS] The price is a little cheaper than the riverside. But remember to bargain.
When there are many people involved, you must take good care of your property.
Xingguang Night Market is in Jinghong, so if you want to go to Xishuangbanna, staying in Jinghong is a better choice, the environment and transportation are better. After playing during the day, you can go shopping after dinner in Jinghong. Xingguang Night Market not only has a variety of snacks, but also various handicrafts, small accessories, handmade soaps, etc.
The most distinctive feature is the Starlight Night Market here, which is located in the small streets of Jinghan Village and Jinglan Village. It is full of various small things and is a must-do program for our family after dinner every day. You can find cute little gadgets every day.
Xingguang Night Market is one of the attractions in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, a new tourist resort. It opens at 7 o'clock. There are all kinds of special snacks and small things. It is a hundred times cleaner than the night market by the Lancang River. I am willing to sit down and taste it slowly in this place. There are pounded chicken feet, pineapple purple rice, barbecue wrapped in lotus leaf jelly, pounded N kinds of things, and very fresh juice! Ah, the juice is amazing. The fruit in Xishuangbanna is the sweetest fruit I have ever eaten in my life! I can't wait to take it on the plane and pack it back home! And it's not expensive. . . Use 3 apples to squeeze a cup for only 15 yuan. It's conscience, right! = =
It is a prosperous scene, with food, entertainment, things you have seen and not seen, representative specialties of various countries, and many boutiques, tea houses, restaurants, Thai cuisine, and Dai cuisine. If you have time, you can rent a bicycle and enjoy the tour slowly.
After resting in the hotel for a while, I went out to the night market again. It was not raining and the night market was very lively. This is the Xingguang Night Market in Gaozhuang Xishuangjing. I like all kinds of pounded food. Although I was still very full, I still bought a portion of pounded chicken feet. The stomach of a foodie can't afford to hurt that. The coconut jelly is good. As long as the night market is open, I must buy a cup every night. It's 10 yuan thick and a bit like jelly.
If I were to say which place in Xishuangbanna impressed me the most, it would be Gaozhuang Xishuangjing. It is a place that makes me miss it very much and want to go back again.
Gaozhuang Xishuangjing is a Dai language, which means "Nine Towers and Twelve Villages" in Chinese. It aims to reproduce the ancient Jinghong scenery and create a prosperous "City within Jinghong".
Strictly speaking, it is not a tourist attraction, but it contains many attractions; it does not charge admission, but it has everything. Almost everything you want to see in Xishuangbanna can be seen there. This is the charm of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing.
It is almost entirely composed of Dai architectural complexes, which are ideal for street photography. The accommodations inside are all hotels with Dai characteristics, and the prices are very reasonable. The attractions inside include Jinghong Shwedagon Pagoda and Starlight Night Market, especially the Starlight Night Market, which is worth a visit. In the evening, almost all the streets will have small tables of the same height set up on both sides of the street, and above the streets will be many colorful lights made of lanterns or umbrellas. The vendors sell everything, which is dazzling. There is an endless stream of tourists on the streets, and walking around will make people linger.
I hope I can come back here next time I return to Yunnan. Looking forward to it...
