Our first stop of the journey was Xishuangbanna. A province in the south of Yunnan in the border with Laos. We stayed at the Yourantai, an amazing Bed and Breakfast in the middle of the jungle with beautiful views over the Mekong river...

This area is know for having a large population of ethnic minorites, we visited some villages Dai during the day. I loved the decoration they use in their temples: colorful and magical.
