Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
At sunset in Mangshi, the sun slowly sets in the west, and the sky is gradually dyed with a touch of golden red. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the city and mountains, forming beautiful pictures. The Cape of Good Hope, observation decks, mountain-ring roads and other places provide a wide field of vision, allowing tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda and distant mountains at close range. The sunset in Mangshi is late, usually around 7:30 every day. At this time, whether you are standing on the observation deck of a high-rise building or strolling along the riverside and lakeside, you can feel the tranquility and beauty. In addition, you can watch the sunset by some lakes and rivers in Mangshi, and you can also see the reflection of the setting sun swaying gently on the water. This kind of reflection and the real scene complement each other, forming a unique symmetrical beauty, which makes people feel the magic and charm of nature.

Mangshi·Menghuan Silver Pagoda—A Silver Dream World

Mangshi·Menghuan Silver Pagoda—A Silver Dream World

On the second day in Mangshi, we arrived early at the Menghuan Silver Pagoda, one of the three pagodas in Mangshi. After arriving in Mangshi, the silhouette of the Silver Pagoda seemed to follow us everywhere. Walking through the streets of Mangshi, we would often inadvertently look up and see the pristine Silver Pagoda atop the mountain. The Silver Pagoda is situated on the peak of a mountain on the eastern side of Mangshi. The mountain is not very high, and you can drive up to it. The parking lot is very convenient, and you arrive at the entrance of the Silver Pagoda scenic area as soon as you get out of the car. The entrance fee for the Silver Pagoda is 40 yuan, which I think is reasonable considering the significant investment likely made in developing the entire scenic area. The Silver Pagoda scenic area centers around the Silver Pagoda and is a Buddhist cultural park filled with elements of Theravada Buddhism. The uniform silver-white color gives a very pure and elegant feeling, and combined with the lush green plants, it is truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather was not good that day. If it had been accompanied by a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the scenery would have been perfect. Climbing up the mountain along the boardwalk, the main body of the Silver Pagoda comes into view. The pagoda stands 66 meters tall, solemn and majestic. The architecture is exquisite, the design is ingenious, and the magnificent pagoda body, together with the surrounding sculptures and vegetation, forms a perfect Buddhist holy land. Next to the Silver Pagoda, there is also a viewing platform where you can get a panoramic view of Mangshi. Unfortunately, the air quality was poor that day, which somewhat diminished the experience. On the way back, you can walk down along the sightseeing car road. Midway, there is a viewing platform where you can see the last of the three pagodas in Mangshi—the Golden Pagoda, which is also our next destination.

Borderland Buddhist Kingdom—Mangshi

Borderland Buddhist Kingdom—Mangshi

Located in the western part of Yunnan, Mangshi is one of Yunnan's lesser-known destinations! Here, generations of ethnic minorities such as the Dai and Jingpo people have lived, and both the cuisine and architecture are filled with unique charm. The golden and silver pagodas standing on the mountain tops, rows of palm-lined avenues, and distinctive local delicacies are all iconic features of this place~ How to citywalk in Mangshi for a day? In the morning, you can store your luggage at the bus station until 6:30 PM. First stop, Mangshi Avenue, take photos of the palm tree boulevard, and experience the thrill of planes flying low overhead. Second stop, walk about 500 meters to the China-Myanmar Friendship Square, where major events in Mangshi are held. Third stop, take a taxi to Bodhi Temple, about 3 km away. After visiting Bodhi Temple, you can go see the tree-wrapped pagoda, which is very close! Fourth stop, take a taxi to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital to see the large golden pagoda at the center of the roundabout. This place is very interesting; cars circle around the golden pagoda at the center of the roundabout, making it feel like you're spinning around the pagoda, praying for the city. Fifth stop, take a taxi to the Menghuan Golden Pagoda Scenic Area. The entrance fee for the golden pagoda is 50, and for the silver pagoda, it is 40. It is recommended to go directly to the silver pagoda for the best photo opportunities. The best viewing spot for the golden pagoda is also within the silver pagoda area. This is the only place in Mangshi that requires an entrance fee, and you should definitely visit this scenic area in the late afternoon. Fifth stop, take a taxi directly to the Xinwanchang District for photos and check-ins. The 'Mangshi' wall is there! Xinwanchang is best visited at night when there are people around. Finally, head to Dehong Airport to go home~ The food in Mangshi is generally safe from disappointments. Avocado juice, Sapie, and Paoluda are must-tries!

Is this really not a mini Thailand?

Is this really not a mini Thailand?

Coming to Mang City, of course, you have to visit the iconic 'Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda'! - Many people are discussing whether to buy a ticket to go inside, after all, the golden and silver pagodas are adjacent, but you have to buy separate tickets for each. It really depends on personal preference. Outside the pagoda: Taking photos is also very beautiful and photogenic. Inside the pagoda: It's not very big and you can finish walking around quickly, but if you look closely, there are many interesting places, and you can even listen to the explanations of other people's guides, haha. - If you want to finish visiting 'Golden Pagoda + Silver Pagoda + Taking Portrait Photos' in one day, and time is limited, you can choose to take photos of the exterior of the golden pagoda, and then buy a ticket for the silver pagoda, which is bigger and better for taking portrait photos! Trust me‼️ - 📷Photo spots: 📍Big Golden Pagoda exterior: At the end of the road outside the pagoda shops, you can capture the complete Big Golden Pagoda, even if there are many people, they won't block the view 📍Monk statues: Next to the golden dragon at the outside of the pagoda, there are monk statues lined up with a devout look 📍Golden Rooster A Luan: Facing the urban area of Mang City, calling for the light in the early morning, it is said to be the incarnation of Siddhartha Gautama, and the noon sunlight shines right on the head of the golden rooster 📍Golden Dragon: The golden dragons that wind down the steps on both sides of the golden pagoda 📍Fortune Elephant: Guarding next to the south gate inside the golden pagoda 📍Hercules: The true · eight-pack abs · god, at the entrance of the pagoda, forgot which direction it was, haha 📍Reclining Buddha: Pray for an offer to the Reclining Buddha, just follow half a circle around the pagoda to see it 🙏Walk clockwise around the pagoda three times, and leave with a sense of fulfillment - 🏠Dai ethnic portrait: There are many travel photography and Dai ethnic costume rental shops along the street, you can ask around and compare. It is recommended to rent clothes yourself, so after taking photos of the golden pagoda, you can go to take photos of the silver pagoda - 🥑Freshly squeezed juice: The fruit freshly squeezed at the food street at the entrance of the scenic area is not bad, 15 yuan per cup of pure juice🍹, worth a try - ☕️Coffee: There is a water bar at the viewing platform in the scenic area, it's quite novel to have coffee in a temple, and the coffee packaging is printed with Mang City, suitable for checking in and taking photos - 📝Tips: 1⃣️Dress modestly, skirt length should cover the knees 2⃣️Do not be noisy and playful, you need to take off your shoes and hat when entering the pagoda 4⃣️Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection! (Important things said three times) - 📍Location: Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda 🎫Ticket: 40 yuan ⏰Opening hours: 8 am - 10 pm ⏳Duration of visit: 1 hour (Taking Dai ethnic portraits will take an afternoon) 🚗Transportation: Take a taxi during the off-season, it's still tiring to walk up to the top of the mountain. During the peak season, take a taxi to the foot of the mountain and walk up, because it will be so congested that you can't move at all, and you still have to walk up.
