🌴 Hidden Paradise in China – Xishuangbanna Stole My Heart 🇨🇳✨

Had the most unforgettable stay in Xishuangbanna, right in the lush tropics of southern Yunnan. We stayed in a villa at the Anantara Resort – absolutely stunning. Think peaceful mornings, private pools, and jungle views all around. Total escape.

But what really made the trip was the atmosphere — it feels more Southeast Asia than mainland China, with a rich Thai-Dai influence in the food, temples, and traditions.

One of the absolute highlights? Visiting Asia’s largest night market. A proper sensory overload in the best way – glowing lanterns, sizzling street food, local crafts, music and colour everywhere. Truly magical.

If you’re looking for somewhere a bit different in China – tropical, vibrant, and full of surprises – this is it.
