I don't know if I don't come to Banna, but in addition to the beautiful environment and pleasant climate, the locals of Xishuangbanna are also very easy to get along with.
I have traveled to 80% of China's border areas, and I generally feel that the people in the border areas are very simple and kind, especially the Banna people, who have more contact with each other, and feel very friendly and comfortable for the foreigners living here anytime and anywhere.
Walking into every village in Banna, the most beautiful building must be a Buddhist temple. The influence of Southern Buddhism for thousands of years has made Banna people have no trace of anger, and they are just as peaceful, kind and sincere in the face of the living.
Once, when I went to Mandan Road, which is close to the border between China and Laos, I happened to run into a passing village to hold an event, and I was interested! Stop and watch was the enthusiastic villagers pulled together to go to the temple, it really reflects the "come are guests", after reading the chanting everyone to eat together, I am embarrassed to think of slipping away did not go, everyone said and laughed and laughed together after eating I said goodbye to them on the road, so far are good memories.
If you spend the Spring Festival in other places, daily necessities such as vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs will definitely increase in price, but in Banna's farmers' market, morning market, and evening market, there is not much or no price increase.
On the third day of the first month, I went to the farmers' market to buy pork for 12 pounds, not only did not increase the price, but also said that it was particularly accurate, and I went home and weighed only 12 grams of difference, so I was more at ease to buy things in Banna, and I never met the seven taels in the mainland.
I go to the evening market in the community especially like to buy the villagers themselves set up stalls to sell vegetables, today I bought three handfuls of extra fresh bracken for a total of only 5 yuan, the vegetable seller aunt looks very good, buy her vegetables can see that she is very happy, I will not eat to ask her how to do it, I am also very happy.
In fact, there is a high probability that the price hike in Banna is not a local, but it has had a bad impact on Banna, so that those who come to Banna to take advantage of the dragonfly water tourism have a lot of misunderstandings.
Stay a little longer and get in touch with the locals more, so that you can feel that Banna is comfortable but indescribably good!
