Equipment for going out
Body Keep your body in good shape as much as possible, which will benefit you greatly during your journey. One month before departure, you should have a comprehensive physical examination. If If you have not been vaccinated against hepatitis B, typhoid, tetanus, rabies, or meningitis, it is best to get vaccinated. If you do this, you don't have to worry too much about eating at roadside shops, accidentally getting injured, or traveling to the countryside.
Language Yunnan dialect is close to Sichuan dialect, and the local dialect in Banna is more difficult to understand. But people in Yunnan can all understand and speak Mandarin. Of course, it will not be standard, but they can definitely communicate. Be careful not to speak too fast when speaking, and try to enunciate your words as clearly as possible.
Shoes The four elements of a good pair of shoes: light, non-slip, breathable and waterproof. When going to the jungle, you should also bring a pair of jungle boots. They have rubber soles and easy-drying canvas uppers. The uppers are specially treated to allow the water soaked in the shoes to drain out when the shoes get wet.
Clothing: White and yellow clothes are easy to get dirty, so it is best not to bring them. The sunshine in Banna is very abundant, so you should wear long-sleeved clothes. Light and loose clothes can prevent the body from overheating and excessive sweating. Dark clothing has UV protection, and wide brim hats can protect your head and neck from the sun. Now when we go out, we always wear a jacket in the morning and a short-sleeved T-shirt at noon.
Documents ID card is a must. If you are a student, bring your ID card. Use it to prepare for discounts on civil aviation tickets, special windows for attraction tickets and half-price tickets. If you want to leave the country, please bring your passport.

Capital budget
Banna is mountainous and forested, so the distance to various scenic spots is also lengthened. The main cost of traveling here is transportation. If you choose to travel to Yunnan by train, you will be a more frugal person. If the travel time is calculated as a week, then the transportation fee will be at least 1,000 yuan, followed by the food and accommodation fee, which is 100 yuan per day, which is 700 yuan a week. However, if you want to bring a tent and sleeping bag, most of the accommodation fees You can eliminate them all and save a lot. Tickets are expected to cost about 500 yuan, phone calls are 100 yuan, and various ethnic handicrafts are expected to cost 400 yuan. Most towns have Internet cafes, which charge 2-3 yuan/hour. The whole process can be controlled at around 3,000 yuan. If the whole family travels by car, they can save at least 1/4, and of course the gas cost will come out. (Taking a taxi in Jinghong City usually costs 5 yuan. As long as you tell where you want to go, the driver will know it, which is very convenient.)
Practical Information
Internet cafes are everywhere now Yes, most are 2 yuan an hour. However, you are required to apply for an internet card that is universal across Yunnan (the card fee is 10 yuan).
