Latest Jinghong hotel reviews
apuleuis Says: This is a large park in Jinghong. It has everything, temples, more temples, souvenirs, a lake, paddle boats, a small zoo, and even some zip-line thing across the lake. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon. There might have been a sign for a 40RMB entrance fee, but we...
picek Says: Here Mekong is known as Lancang and it divides city in two pieces, although most of activities and construction happens on its right bank.In dry season its shores expose large areas of gravel and you can walk hundreds of meters to get close to the water. Here you can see...
picek Says: This is lively street in the city centre with small and friendly restaurants which are best places to eat local and cheap food and also there are a few Muslim restaurants too (excellent ones from Uygur region). Another section of the street I called 'burmese' market street...
picek Says: After you saw Octagonal Pavilion you shouldn't leave the site without seeing the temple which is next to it. It's interesting to study the mural paintings from Buddhist stories on good and bad: but some scenes (those from Hell) are in very bad shape though you can imagine...
Octagonal Pavilion in Jingzhen
picek Says: Octagonal Pavilion is the old building in small town of Jingzhen, some 14 km from Menghai. Sources say it was built in 1701, then destroyed during the war in 19th century and perfectly rebuilt in 1981 to its present shape. It's one of the most interesting sites in...
John195123 Says: It costs about 50 yuan to get in, per person. If you want to stay the night in the park, the ticket's good for the next day (or however many days you're staying, I guess.)If you do go, there’s a path that leads through the park to the elevated pathway, the hotel and the...
John195123 Says: Look, I know it feels good to give animals food. Don't do it. This is a standard message for any zoo, park, or place where humans come into contact with wild animals. Don't chase after bears!In places where people feed the wild animals, those animals are known to be more...

Mekong Cafe: Possibly the best western food in China
apuleuis Says: The menu has a large variety of foods from around the world. We got sandwiches and were super impressed. The bread tasted home-made. It was so good, we had to stay for dessert. The cheesecake was also wonderful and had to have been home-made. If it wasn't our last day, we...
Uygur restaurant at Manting rd.: great hand made noodles and sauces
picek Says: Some excellent stuff here and one of my favourite places to eat Uygur dishes in Jinghong with hand made white and thick noodles! I have been eating here every day a few times since it was so good. If you can speak some Chinese you can order vegetarian varieties. Prices are...
apuleuis Says: There is a whole street of bars with patios overlooking the river. A nice place to grab a few beers. I had a Beerlao from Laos.
apuleuis Says: There is a night market on Mengla Lu near the Mekong Cafe. It is open from 7pm to midnight. We were able to get some souvenirs that seemed a little cheaper than the shops in the daytime.
George and Dragon Bar: large choice of beer
picek Says: This is newly opened bar at Manting Road owned by English-Chinese couple. Were there to check out some movies on DVD and drink a few cold beers - Chinese ones - to try different varieties. They have also Russian beer (very strong one), other usual international beers and of...
Richard.GVA Says: Sara, the manageress of this travel cafe, and her assistant Eve were most helpful in making our visit to Jinhong interesting and most pleasant, and also in organizing onward travel by air to Lijiang.
apuleuis Says: The sleeper bus to Kunming took 9 hours and cost 197RMB. It takes you to the South Bus Station, which is pretty far from downtown.
apuleuis Says: The sleeper bus to Lijiang takes 19 hours. It cost 247RMB. Although it might take less, I think we hit a lot of traffic.
picek Says: If you're travelling to other parts of Xixuanbanna (exp. Meng La, Mong La, Meng Hai .... ) from Jinghong you have to go to the Banna bus station which is in centre of city. You need to buy ticket at the counter before you board on the mini bus. Buses are okay, some are bit...
apuleuis Says: One of the first things you'll notice in Jinghong is all signs are in two languages. After asking around found out the other language is Dai. It is one of the only minority groups in China with a written language, and it is similar to Thai.
apuleuis Says: Jinghong has a large Burmese population. Many Burmese men wear a longyi, which is a type of long wrap skirt.
John195123 Says: Once again, walk the streets. Get off the main road and look around.
