[2025 Jinghong Hotels] Travel Guide for Starry Love Resort Hotel (Updated Jul)

This time, I chose the Starry Love Resort Hotel in Xishuangbanna, and I was completely captivated by its location! It's just a 10-minute walk to the Starlight Night Market, and after an evening of exploring and eating, you can head back to the hotel's rooftop terrace to stargaze. The rooms feature an ultra-cool smart control system, allowing you to adjust the lighting and play music right from your bed—it's a lazy person's paradise 🌌! The hotel also offers complimentary airport and station transfers, so you're greeted with the warm hospitality of Dai ethnic sisters as soon as you arrive. The surprises at the Dai Ethnic Garden exceeded all expectations! I highly recommend setting aside a full day to unlock these hidden gems 👇: Water Splashing Carnival Don't miss the three daily water-splashing events (1:30 PM / 3:30 PM / 5:00 PM)! Rent a Dai costume (30 RMB per set) and join the "battle." Staff will provide small water basins, and the square instantly transforms into a sea of joy 🌊! Be sure to buy a waterproof phone pouch in advance—getting drenched from head to toe is incredibly stress-relieving! Timeless Buddhist Temple Scenes The golden roof of Manchunman Ancient Buddhist Temple sparkles under the sunlight, and taking an upward shot from the stairs gives you a Southeast Asian movie vibe 📸! Remember to wear long pants or skirts when entering the temple. The murals and Buddha statues inside are full of stories, and even locals come here to pray. Dai Cuisine Feast Don't miss the pineapple rice and pounded chicken feet at Ganbai Street! The pineapple rice is sweet and fragrant, while the pounded chicken feet are tangy and appetizing—just 10 RMB per serving, and you won't be able to stop eating! Also, try the lemongrass-grilled fish and banana leaf-wrapped fish, which are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with aroma. Tips: ⚠️ There are lockers at the water-splashing square (10 RMB each). Bring a change of clothes. ⚠️ Keep quiet inside the temple, and avoid using flash when taking photos. ⚠️ The scenic area's electric shuttle costs 40 RMB per person. Walking between villages takes about 15 minutes, and along the way, you can see tropical orchards and Dai bamboo houses. It takes about 50 minutes by taxi from the hotel to the Dai Ethnic Garden. Arrive by 8 AM to avoid crowds and enjoy the serene temples and misty river views. In the evening, return to the hotel for a cup of Pu'er tea in the tea room and listen to staff share Dai stories. Now that's what I call a fulfilling trip! 🐘🌴

Who understands the joy of staying at Gaozhuang Xishuangjing! The Starry Love Hotel is just a 15-minute taxi ride from the Flower Garden. The butler gave me a hand-drawn map in advance: "The water lilies are fully open at 10 a.m., hurry to the greenhouse area to take photos!" Just after buying the 40 yuan ticket, I was speechless at the sight of the blue jacaranda waterfall — pink flower strings hanging on the wooden boardwalk, spinning around in Dai costumes, and immediately using the photo poses I just learned in the giant screen projection📸 🍃Hidden activities in the garden: ✅ In the rainforest area, touch the shy mimosa; the leaves curl up into little balls when touched; ✅ In the ethnic plant area, learn from the sisters how to dye cloth with isatis root, and take home a mini handkerchief for 20 yuan; ✅ At the exit, buy leaf vein bookmarks for 10 yuan each to use as photo props in the hotel tea room~ 🏨 Hotel romantic collaboration: After playing, take a taxi back to the hotel, lie down in the giant screen projection room to watch beautiful photos of the Flower Garden, and choose filters while nibbling on night market packed chicken feet! The tea room serves free ancient tree tea just in time, watching the sunlight pass through bamboo blinds and cast checkered shadows on the tea set, with the air filled with the aroma of Pu'er tea~ The best part is the 270° floor-to-ceiling windows, where you can see the sunset dyeing the sky red in the direction of the Flower Garden at dusk✨ 💡Useful Tips: The hotel offers free airport pickup, heading straight to the Flower Garden upon arrival; wearing a light-colored dress complements the flowers better, and mosquito repellent can be borrowed at the hotel front desk! With this holiday rhythm, even the air tastes sweet~🌿💕

Hey babes! Who can resist the joy of Asia's largest night market? Just finished exploring and my bestie is already chasing me for the details. Here's a comprehensive guide for you👇 📸 Must-visit photo spots Starlight Bridge: A dreamy corridor adorned with oil-paper umbrellas and Thai lanterns. Walk through in traditional Dai attire, and you'll feel like you're in a movie scene 🎬. Pro tip: Capture dynamic side shots with your skirt flowing for an ethereal vibe. Six-Nation Floating Market: Rent a bamboo raft for 20 RMB (bargaining tip: say "Sis, make it cheaper"). Hold a lotus lantern and pose with the shimmering lights reflecting on the water behind you—it's breathtaking! After 8 PM, you can even release water lanterns for blessings at just 10 RMB each, adding a ceremonial touch 💡. 🍢 Foodie's paradise checklist ✅ Lao iced coffee (green cart): 15 RMB per bag, with a coconut milk base and rich coffee aroma. Served in plastic bags for that authentic Southeast Asian vibe 🥤. ✅ Spicy chicken feet (middle section of the market, Auntie's stall): 10 RMB per serving, tangy and flavorful. Opt for the pineapple version for a refreshing twist! ✅ Thai banana roti: Made fresh on the spot, with banana filling and condensed milk. Crispy and flaky to perfection 🍌. 💡 Practical Tips Time planning: Arrive before 6 PM to catch the sunset, enjoy the lantern-lit night views after 7 PM, and start exploring after 8 PM to avoid peak crowds. Transportation: Stay at Gaozhuang for a 5-minute walk to the market. From downtown, taxis cost 15 RMB, or rent a shared e-scooter for 30 RMB/day for more flexibility 🛵.
