Jinghong Attractions

|
Jinghong lies on the Lancangjiang (Mekong) in the south of Yunnan Province, on the border with Myanmar (Burma).
Jinghong has a rich folk tradition and is the capital of the autonomous district of Xishuangbanna, whose inhabitants consist predominantly of Dai (45 per cent of the population), as well as other ethnic groups (Hani, Bulang, Jinuo,Yi, etc). The Dai's traditional dwellings are built on stilts.
Although Buddhism was very widespread here and there were many temples and pagodas, very little has been preserved.
