Xishuangbanna is an autonomous prefecture in southern Yunnan Province, China. Its tropical climate, impressive biodiversity and vast stretches of untouched wilderness make it a prime destination for nature enthusiasts. Jinghong is the political, economic and cultural center of Xishuangbanna, and its ethnic minorities — including Lao, Hai, Miao, Dai and Han — make up about 66 percent of the city’s population.

Attractions in the area include Mange Temple, Zongfosi Temple and Manting Park, Jinghong’s oldest park. Visitors to the region also enjoy exploring natural sightseeing destinations such as the Tropical Botanical Garden, Da Luo River and One Tree Forest.

On top of other exciting excursions, Platinum Members will be treated to seats for a performance at the Dai Show Theatre on Day 4 (8-9:30 p.m.). Sit back and delight in a water-inspired show with acrobatics, dancers and music, all weaving an intriguing love story — at one point, the center stage even transforms into a jungle as well as a water-filled basin. Your fascinating excursion also includes transportation to and from the venue at Xishuangbanna Wanda International Resort.

Life is great when you’re a Platinum Member!

Hotel Check-in Requirements

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in. The hotel may request the credit card in order to: a) place a monetary hold of US$50-200; or b) hold for incidental, security or other charges. By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.

Please contact Travel Support if you have special requests regarding bedding, meals or medical needs, or any other questions about this trip.

If you are unable to obtain the required identification and other documentation, the Cancellation Policy for this DreamTrip will apply.

Make sure that you request a name change or room change at least 31 or more days before the 1st day of your trip.

Each individual, including each child, who is coming along with you on your DreamTrip is required to have a booking prior to the commencement of the trip. If you do not book and pay for each such person in advance of the trip, you will be charged the hotel’s then-current rate, not the trip price, for each such person at the time of your check-in.

Pricing for children is based on their age at the time of travel and may be subject to additional terms and conditions of individual hotels and all-inclusive resorts. Also, pricing for children can vary, and may be higher than pricing for adults.
