I've checked in at the same restaurant as Mao Xiaotong.

Sleep in a thousand-year-old Dai stilt house and have an entire 4A scenic area to yourself!
While tourists rush to take photos under the scorching sun, I am lounging on the terrace of a Dai stilt house, watching peacocks stroll in the courtyard. This is the dream Xishuangbanna vacation!
Nabu Slow Time · Pet-friendly · Family-friendly Leisure Hideaway
A place where I am willing to 'waste' time.
🌿 Stay in a living Dai culture museum
▪️ The stilt house is not just accommodation, but a cultural heritage
The entire structure is built with mortise and tenon joints, without a single nail.
The natural wood emits a soothing fragrance, more healing than any aroma diffuser.
The second-floor terrace lets you touch palm leaves with a stretch of your hand.
The bamboo walls change with the light and shadows, making every corner a piece of art.
▪️ A breathing homestay
A group of adorable pets + 5 major experiences + 24-hour Dai lifestyle
Staying here feels less like staying in a hotel and more like moving into a tropical rainforest ecosystem.

💡 Tips from past guests
👉 Stay for at least 2 nights! One night is not enough to fully enjoy.
👉 Leave space in your suitcase for Dai pottery souvenirs.
👉 Perfect for couples, children, and families—they might love it even more than you do.
'Here, time slows down.
Slow enough to see every moment of a peacock spreading its feathers.
Slow enough to count every pattern on a piece of pottery.
This is probably the true meaning of travel.'
