Panama

Good for those wanting tropical vibes without too much hassle, not for those seeking high altitude or deep culture. Best time to go is Dec-Apr, when it's driest. Budget around 3000-5000 CNY. Traveling between areas takes time, rent a car. Must-see: Big Creek and fishing village. Skip the downtown shopping street—it’s overpriced and generic. Avoid buying souvenirs near attractions, they’re expensive and average.
