Xishuangbanna Tours - Best Xishuangbanna Tours Packages, Yunnan

Xishuangbanna (西双版纳) is located at the southernmost tip of Yunnan Province in China, and it is a unique place with a rare tropical rainforest climate that is uncommon on the Chinese mainland. This climate allows for an incredibly rich diversity of plant and animal species. The area not only encompasses nearly 700,000 acres of pristine forest but also retains the only tropical rainforest at latitude 21 degrees north that exists in the world at this latitude. This “Kingdom of Plants and Animals”  is home to a quarter of the country's animal species and one-sixth of its plant species. It is also the only place in China where wild Asian elephants can be safely observed in their natural habitat.

In addition, Xishuangbanna is an autonomous prefecture of the Dai people, inhabited by the Dai and other ethnic minorities.  Intangible cultural heritages, such as the Slow Wheel Pottery, and Brocade Weaving, are still visible in many Dai villages. The Water-Splashing Festival, celebrated in April to mark the Dai New Year, is one of the most exuberant and widely recognized events, attracting visitors from around the world. To the north of Xishuangbanna, Pu'er, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must-visit for tea culture enthusiasts. Nestled among cloud-covered tea mountains, original ecological ethnic minority villages dot the landscape.

Take our Xishuangbanna Tours to immerse you in the natural wonders and cultural vibrancy of this unique region. Whether you’re an avid botanist, a wildlife enthusiast, or a culture seeker, we have something for everyone.

Private tour based on their 8 Days Classic Yunnan Tour of Kunming, Dali, Shangri-La and Lijiang

We asked Asia Odyssey to arrange a private tour based on their 8 Days Classic Yunnan Tour of Kunming, Dali, Shangri-La and Lijiang.

Tani was their representative who guided us through the process. Tani was highly professional, very responsive, and very helpful in tailoring the tour to our specific needs. We ended up with a tailor-made private tour for only a little more than the group tour would have cost.

The drivers were very able and punctual, and our four guides (Frank in Kunming, Sally in Dali, Lobsang in Shangri-La, and Sandy in Lijiang) were all very knowledgeable, helpful, and great fun to be with. Each was from a local minority group from their area which made the experience all the more special.

This was the first time that I have used Asia Odyssey, but I am sure it will not be the last!
