Known as the "Peacock's Tail" of Xishuangbanna, Olives Dam(also called Menghan Ganlanba) lies 40 km southeast of Jinghong, along the Lancang River. As the lowest (530m) and hottest area in the region, it's a lush tropical paradise with fertile land and abundant fruits like coconut, mango, and pineapple honey.

This well-preserved Dai ethnic enclave features five ancient villages, including Manchunman and Manting. Traditional stilted bamboo houses, ornate Burmese-style pagodas, and centuries-old temples (e.g., 1,400-year-old Manchunman Temple) dot the landscape. With vibrant Dai culture, daily water-splashing rituals, and lush coconut groves, Ganlanba offers an authentic glimpse into the Dai way of life. It's a place where tropical scenery and ethnic charm blend seamlessly.
