If the mystery and beauty of Xishuangbanna is a great gift from the creator to the last oasis on the Tropic of Cancer, the large-scale natural ecological village of Dai Garden in Xishuangbanna can be completely preserved, thanks to the villagers' incomparable attachment and persistence to their national culture and their ecological concept of living in harmony with nature deeply rooted in blood and soul.
