Dai Ethnic Village

　　The Dai Ethnic Village is situated 1 kilometer southeast of Jinghong City and is a classic example of a Dai village. The homes are constructed as stilted bamboo buildings, and each household is enclosed by bamboo fences, creating private courtyards. The surroundings are lush with coconut palms, banana trees, and bamboo groves, offering a vibrant subtropical landscape with an exotic charm.

　　Within the Manjinglan Village, there is also a street dedicated to Dai-style cuisine where visitors can dine. The hospitable hosts serve traditional Dai dishes that are sour, spicy, bitter, sweet, fragrant, and crispy, giving guests a taste of Dai culinary culture. Visitors can also learn about the daily life and customs of the Dai people, watch, and even participate in traditional Dai folk song and dance performances, as well as purchase distinctive ethnic handicrafts such as Dai brocade, wood carvings, bamboo weavings, and pottery.
