I thought Xishuangbanna was already beautiful, until I came to Mang City! | May Day travel guide

If you're looking for a city with few people, beautiful scenery, a slow pace, and plenty of delicious food to spend the winter, then come to Mang City. Compared to the crowded and commercialized Xishuangbanna, Mang City is really worth the rush! Mang City is not busy, and a citywalk measured by your own feet is just too suitable for Mang City. Here is a specific citywalk route, which can be copied directly, and basically all the fun places in Mang City are included. Mang City was formerly known as 'Menghuan', which means 'City of Dawn' in Dai language, as it is said that when the Buddha arrived in Mang City, it was just dawn, and what he saw was the dawn, which also represents hope and devotion. ⛱️ How to play: ➡️ Tuanjie Street, Baobo Road, Bodhi Street: All are very suitable for casual strolling. ➡️ Shubao Tower: A tower in a tree, and a tree in a tower. ➡️ Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda: The landmark of Mang City is none other than this, it is China's first golden Buddha pagoda, and also Asia's first hollow Buddha pagoda. Recommended to go at sunset. ➡️ Menghuan Silver Pagoda: Right opposite the golden pagoda, very close, just a few hundred meters walk away. If the golden pagoda is the sun of Mang City, the silver pagoda is the moon. The two look at each other, guarding this small city together. I went to the silver pagoda first, bought a ticket for 40 yuan per person, and climbed the mountain to see the silver pagoda and the golden pagoda looking at each other from a distance, very beautiful. ➡️ Bodhi Temple: Combines Han and Dai architectural styles. ➡️ Mengbana Xi Rare Garden: There are many free-roaming peacocks, and it's very pleasant to stroll in the woods. ➡️ Three Trees Style Street: A very leisurely street, with two rows of beautiful palm trees. ➡️ Dai Ethnic Ancient Town: I don't really recommend it personally, it's a kind of man-made ancient town, if you want to visit the night market, you can go to see the night view, not many people during the day. 🍭 How to eat: ➡️ Mang Apricot Yanxing Barbecue: Highly recommended. The whole village of Mang Apricot is barbecue, and it is the most surprising existence of this trip, the barbecue is simply too delicious, you must eat the grilled fish, and it's super cheap! ➡️ Rotten Road Breakfast: Many people recommended it so I went, the taste is average, I didn't find it particularly delicious, but it's also not bad. ➡️ Dreamy Dehong: If you want to try Mang City specialties in one restaurant, you can come here, Sapie is a must-order here, but I'm not used to it. ➡️ Best Taste Food: There are also many classic snacks from Mang City here, Gan Ying chicken feet are highly recommended, I think the Shaibababa made by the carts on Bingwu Road is better than here. ➡️ Lei Ya Rang Sunset Coffee: Very recommended, the scenery is very good, very comfortable.
