Overview

Half an hour from Jinghong by car, escape the tourist crowds and discover the authentic beauty of the Dai people’s homeland. Cycle through a network of more than 10 villages and temples nestled in lush tropical nature, where everyday life unfolds at a slower pace.

Far from busy traffic, you’ll ride in a safe and peaceful environment, surrounded by greenery, banana trees, and riverside scenery. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the region’s rich traditions:

The distinctive pillar-houses and their symbolic wooden ornaments
The colorful temples that punctuate the villages

Each journey is filmed with a DJI AIR3S drone, creating a cinematic memory of your ride through Xishuangbanna’s breathtaking landscapes.

  • Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture
    Most tours in the area are designed for mass tourism, often catering mainly to Chinese crowds. While convenient, these experiences are usually overcrowded, staged, and less authentic — for example, the Dai Nationality Park feels more like a theme park, with an entrance fee and tourists shuttled around in golf carts. Our tour is different: in just two hours, you will explore more than ten genuine Dai villages, some with beautifully decorated villas reflecting wealth, others with modest wooden stilt houses that reveal the simplicity of rural life. This contrast allows you to truly appreciate the diversity of Dai culture, architecture, and way of living. Along the way, you will meet locals, enjoy the scenery, and gain insights into traditions that remain vibrant today. Our guide will shoot the best moments of the tour with a drone, to create lasting souvenirs from this incredible experience with your friends and family.
  • Jinghong
    While the Gaozhuang night market is certainly worth experiencing, Jinghong itself offers only a handful of daytime attractions, such as Manting Park and a few temples or pagodas. Xishuangbanna, however, is renowned for its exceptionally rich and diverse flora and fauna, meaning that most of the region’s true highlights lie outside the city. Depending on the season and the sites you choose, some of these places can feel crowded or somewhat staged by Western standards. Our tours provide a refreshing alternative — taking you away from the masses and into genuine, unspoiled settings. Whether you prefer exploring beautifully preserved Dai villages by e-bike, wandering through tea and coffee plantations, or enjoying a hands-on tea-picking and tasting experience right at the source — complete with explanations in your own language — our focus is always on authenticity and intimacy.
