📍Attraction Address: Menghuan Silver Pagoda Located about 200 meters west of Xianchi Road, Mangshi, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, about 3 kilometers from Mangshi city center and about 10 kilometers from Mangshi Airport. 🚗Attraction Transportation: You can directly navigate to Menghuan Silver Pagoda. There are parking spaces on both sides of the mountain road near the destination, and there is a large parking lot at the end of the navigation. Public transportation is not recommended as there is a lot of walking involved. 👍️Must-visit Attractions: Recommended spots for taking good photos of the Silver Pagoda Moon Platform⭐⭐⭐Moon prop. Glass Platform⭐⭐⭐⭐One of the best spots for photos, usually crowded, best to go in the late afternoon. Corridor on the right side of the Silver Pagoda⭐⭐Flowers as foreground. Slope leading to the Silver Pagoda⭐Many people like to take photos of the Golden Pagoda from here, but personally, I think it's average and not as good as entering the Golden Pagoda. 🎟️Ticket Information: 40/person 💗Other Tips: Note that although the Golden Pagoda and the Silver Pagoda are on the same mountain range and very close, they are managed separately with different tickets. From a photographer's perspective, I prefer the Golden Pagoda at dusk and the Silver Pagoda during the day (the Golden Pagoda guide is in another note). The Silver Pagoda is more suitable for taking photos of people, so you can wear beautiful artistic clothes for the shoot.

⚱️When traveling to Dehong, the Menghuan Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda are a must-visit. The two towers stand on the Leiyarang Mountain on the edge of Mang City, reflecting each other, and from a distance, they look like the lively eyes of Mang City. 📍Location: At the top of Leiyarang Mountain by the Peacock Lake in Mang City 🎫Ticket: Both the Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda are 40r 🗼The Menghuan Golden Pagoda legend says that 'Sakyamuni' lived here when he was reincarnated as a golden rooster in his lifetime. The entire pagoda is magnificent, and it's very photogenic just taking pictures at the entrance. Inside, there are many precious items of Buddhism, which are worth seeing. 🦚In addition to the pagoda, the Peacock Dance is also very exciting. This is a folk dance where people wear peacock tails and imitate its dance. It's very lifelike and eye-catching. The peacock's spreading wings and drinking from the spring, the dance is rich in sculpture, each with different beauty and artistic conception. 🌙 The Silver Pagoda is hand-carved by craftsmen using Dai silver and other materials. It is a display of Dai architectural art and a heritage of local minority culture. To see the Silver Pagoda, you must first go to the top of the mountain. The sky and the big moon are really good for taking pictures. Everyone is lining up, and it's not too late to take pictures in the square later. Here, you can eat some ethnic snacks, look at the sea of flowers and the cityscape of Mang City, and find a place for your soul. 🗼Walk around the pagoda three times, pray for good luck, meditate quietly with the Sanskrit sounds coming from the Golden Pagoda, and give your weary body and mind a break from the mundane world. Or enjoy a sunset at the Menghuan Silver Pagoda surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and watch the pagoda change into different colors and artistic conceptions.

🏯It's not abroad, nor is it Xishuangbanna, this is the Menghuan Golden Pagoda in Dehong Mangshi, full of exotic charm! As a landmark building of Dehong Mangshi, it is a must-visit spot that cannot be missed! 😉The towering and spectacular golden pagoda shows its brilliance. Under the sunshine, it is even more dazzling. I am very fortunate to have watched the wonderful and lively Dai peacock dance under this golden pagoda, which is said to be a dance handed down from ancient times. ☀️The golden pagoda is an octagonal four-door design, hollow inside, it is a hollow Buddhist pagoda, a holy place for the local people to worship and pray. When I went a few days ago, two of the four doors were opened, and you can enter the pagoda to worship after taking off your shoes. 👏At its highest point, it is topped with a 2.3-ton golden dome, which is the first golden Buddhist pagoda in China and the first hollow Buddhist pagoda in Asia. 📷Recommended photo spots: 1⃣At the entrance of the scenic area (when there are many people, there may be multiple backgrounds) 2⃣At the four entrances of the pagoda (it is recommended to find a door that is not open) 3⃣Use other slightly lower pagodas in the scenic area as the background to take atmosphere photos. 💴Ticket: 40 at the scenic spot/38 online 🚗Transportation: Taxi or self-driving

This is my first time to go to a border city. My first stop is Mangshi, Yunnan.

If you like it, take a step forward and sprint Mangshi is a small prefecture-level city, so there are few people at night. It is suitable for daytime strolls.

Happy New Year! #happynewyear

Loved it, loved it! 💋💋 Taking the kids here for Labor Day, I simply don't want to leave… I've always wanted to take the kids 👶 to a quiet place with few people where we can just relax and stroll around ✈. After visiting Mangshi, I realized it's truly amazing SOS, completely meeting my requirements. Sleeping in naturally every day, soaking in hot springs, eating and drinking—this is what vacation feels like~ 🥂🥂🥂 We stayed at Mangshi Feihua Hot Spring Resort Hotel, which is nestled in the lush vegetation of a tropical rainforest 🍀, surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're in Southeast Asia. 🌴🌴🌴 Rooms The rooms are all very spacious, mostly over 60 square meters, with bathtubs located outdoors on the balcony 🍁🍁. The hot water in the tubs is actually the hotel's hot spring water. The hairdryer is a Dyson, bathrobes are available for both adults and children, ♦ slippers are provided for both indoor and outdoor use, quite complete. The water bar and snacks are free FREE ♥—definitely a plus. 🌴 Hot Springs With the room card, you can enter and exit unlimited times. There are more than twenty hot spring pools with different temperatures and unique features 🍀🍀. We really liked the higher temperature rose pool and the crystal pomelo pool, soaking back and forth several times. The infinity pool 🏊🏊 is very photogenic, 🎧🎧 perfect for taking pictures. We stayed for several days and basically didn’t go out, just soaking in the hotel, eating and drinking ⛱⛱. It was really nice, and the kids said they want to come again next time!!! 💃💃💃

My One-Day Mangshi Tour Route: 1️⃣10:08 Yinjia Breakfast (Main Store) A famous internet-famous breakfast spot renowned for its abundant condiments, where each bowl of noodles can be customized to individual tastes. 2️⃣10:40 Mengbanaxi Rare Garden I usually enjoy gardening at home, even though I've killed quite a few plants—I just love it! This garden is all-encompassing, featuring plants, animals, jade, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Though small, it's fully equipped—perfect for lazy travelers who don't want to walk much! 😬 3️⃣11:47 Meng Huan Golden Pagoda & Silver Pagoda I only took photos of the Golden Pagoda from the outside but bought a ticket to enter the Silver Pagoda (since the exterior of the Silver Pagoda isn't photogenic, haha 😆). Having visited Southeast Asia frequently, temples aren't high on my must-see list, but these are Mangshi's most famous landmarks. My impression? A miniature "White Temple." 4️⃣12:46 Peacock Valley Forest Park Visiting during off-peak hours meant fewer tourists. I was most looking forward to the peacock release, but the highlight turned out to be feeding the peacocks at the last stop—I'd never seen so many peacocks gathered together! I could've fed them all day. Being around animals is so relaxing! If you're not a peacock enthusiast, I wouldn't recommend it—it's a bit far, and the ticket price feels like a "hidden charge" compared to other attractions. The other activities? Emmmm~~~ you know what I mean. Still, Peacock Valley became my favorite part of the trip. 5️⃣16:44 Coconut Tree 🌴 Street (near Bodhi Temple) An internet-famous photo spot—since you're already here, why not? The coconut trees and pink zebra crossings create a unique charm, but it's not worth a special trip just for the street. 6️⃣19:40 Baiste Food City After a short rest at the hotel, I headed downstairs to eat. Staying at a hotel next to Baiste made it super convenient. The food court wasn't as amazing as online rumors suggested, but it was decent. 7️⃣20:30 Mangshi Square The night before, I went straight to Dai Ancient Town and Xinwanchang Night Market after landing, so today I explored nearby. Locals, men and women alike, formed circles dancing in the square like a bonfire party. The square also had various daily goods stalls and snacks—very down-to-earth.

Last year, at the end of June, as soon as my child finished the exam, in order to avoid the crowds of the "summer vacation army," we immediately took my mother and child on an unrestrained 10-day tour of Tengchong + Dali, Yunnan! This trip included both the elderly and the young, focusing on a relaxing and leisurely experience. Therefore, we mostly chartered a car or took local day trips. The B&Bs we chose were also in the scenic spots, making it easy to stroll around at any time. They also offered travel photography and other services, allowing my child and mother to record unforgettable memories of their happy trip! Day 1️⃣ Shanghai ✈️ Kunming, then 🚄 to Baoshan, and then chartered a car to Tengchong, arriving at the Zhuangyuan B&B in Heshun Ancient Town. In the evening, enjoy the night view of Heshun Ancient Town and a peaceful and simple dinner. Day 2️⃣ Chartered a car to the Rehai Scenic Area, soaked in the hot springs ♨️, and tasted the special hot spring eggs 🥚 we cooked ourselves. Then, we went to the Gaoligong Mountain Tea 🍃 Museum to let the child experience frying tea and making tea cakes 🍵. We went to Simao La Wa Village to experience the Wa ethnic culture and customs. In the evening, we returned to Heshun Ancient Town, chose a restaurant in the ancient town for dinner, and continued to stroll around the ancient town to digest after the meal. Day 3️⃣ Chartered a car to Ruili 🌴 to visit Yizhai Liangguo 🛕 and feel the unique border scenery. (Although it is an artificially built border attraction, it is still good for taking pictures 📷); at noon, we tasted Mengyin Banquet in Ruili, which had a Southeast Asian cuisine feel; after the meal, we went to Mangshi, put on Dai costumes to visit Menghuan Grand Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda, took beautiful photos, and pretended to travel to Thailand 🇹🇭 Day 4️⃣ In the morning, we visited the Tengchong Heroes Memorial Hall to remember history and cherish the memory of the martyrs. It was a bit rainy that day, so we chose to relax and enjoy afternoon tea at a popular cafe ☕️ next to Heshun Ancient Town in the afternoon, and took beautiful photos by the way; in the evening, we watched the Dream Tengchong performance 🎭 to learn about the history, culture, and folk customs of Tengchong. The sound, light, and video effects were quite eye-catching. Day 5️⃣ We got up early and went to the Volcano 🌋 Geothermal National Geological Park. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and we couldn't take a hot air balloon. We could only ride horses 🐎 + explore caves ⛰️ by the volcano. Then, we went to the Tengchong Wetland Park, took a boat 🚣‍♂️ to tour the wetland scenery, and admired the natural scenery and migratory birds. In the evening, we tasted the special peacock 🦚 banquet next to the ancient town. Day 6️⃣ We chartered a car from Tengchong to Dali, and after arriving, we checked into the Zhenmei Resort B&B in Wenbi Village. In the evening 🌆, we tasted firewood chicken and strolled around the village while enjoying the sunset 🌅. Day 7️⃣ We went to Xiaoputuo 🏝️ for sightseeing, had a meal at the Haitian Yise Restaurant 🍴 opposite Xiaoputuo, and admired the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake 🌊. In the afternoon, we took travel photos 💃 near the hotel to leave beautiful memories. Day 8️⃣ We visited Xizhou Ancient Town, rode bicycles 🚲 on the Erhai Internet-famous S-bend, and played in Dali Ideal State, pretending to be in Santorini, admiring the unique architectural style, taking photos, and enjoying a leisurely time. Day 9️⃣ We climbed Cangshan Mountain 🏔️ for sightseeing, and visited Tianlongbabu Film and Television City along the way to experience martial arts culture. There are also 🈶 immersive script COS characters here. If you have time, you can join in and participate! We strolled around Dali Ancient City at night, eating all kinds of snacks until we were full. If we were tired, we could also find a small restaurant or bar along the street to sit down. Since we had elderly people and children with us, it was not suitable to 🌊 too late. Day 10️⃣ We went from Dali to Kunming Airport and ✈️ returned to Shanghai. ⚠️ Precautions: 🌟 It is recommended to buy a small oxygen tank for climbing Cangshan Mountain. Don't save the life-saving money of dozens of yuan. The elderly with poor physical strength should be cautious. 🌟 Book air tickets, train tickets, chartered cars, and tickets for various attractions in advance to ensure a smooth trip. Prepare headrests, waist pillows, and eye masks. Even if it is a chartered car tour, it is still quite a test of the elderly's waist strength. 🌟 The weather in Yunnan is changeable, the altitude is high and the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the temperature difference will be large on the mountains or when it rains. Remember to bring clothes suitable for different weather and sunscreen products. 🌟 If you plan to soak in the hot springs in Tengchong, remember to bring your swimsuit 🩱 (you can also buy it on the spot if you forget it). Pay attention to the water temperature when soaking to avoid burns and dizziness caused by soaking for too long. There are also bathing facilities here. 🌟 Both B&Bs provide travel photography clothes. The Heshun one does not include a photographer; the Dali one 🈶 includes a travel photographer in the room rate. Pay attention to booking and communicating the shooting time, style, and requirements in advance during your stay. There are many landscaping scenes at the entrance of the hotel that can be used for shooting, which is definitely convenient and worry-free for those who love to take selfies. 🌟 Generally, chartered cars or day trips can be ordered from B&Bs or platforms. We chose 7-seater cars for the elderly to avoid excessive fatigue affecting the travel experience. Young people or those who want a more economical option can choose some local group tours online. After all, our colorful Yunnan is still a great tourist destination!

"Tour" Mangshi | Slow Time Under the Exotic Pagodas on the Border of Western Yunnan || Mangshi, located in Dehong, Yunnan, is the only city in China named with a single character. It integrates Dai and Jingpo customs with the exotic atmosphere of Southeast Asia, making it a secret small city that cannot be missed on a trip to western Yunnan. 🛕Must-Visit Attractions The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the Meng Huan Grand Golden Pagoda, known as the largest hollow pagoda in Southeast Asia. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the entire city and the mountains of Myanmar. In the afternoon, explore the "tree-wrapped pagoda" spectacle—the roots of a century-old Bodhi tree wrap around the ancient pagoda, where nature and faith coexist. In the Mengba Naxi Rare Garden, free-range peacocks dance with century-old silicified wood forests, as if entering a tropical rainforest wonderland. 🍜Mangshi on the Tip of Your Tongue Food is the most vivid scenery here. You must try hand-pulled rice noodles: wrap the smooth rice noodles in a special meat sauce, and serve with sour papaya water. We recommend "Lanlu Breakfast," "A Miao Restaurant," or "Old Town Laoshun Xidoufen Baba." Dessert lovers should not miss "Paoluda," coconut milk mixed with sago, soaked in crispy bread slices, and sprinkled with fresh coconut flakes, instantly healing the summer heat. When night falls, dive into Mengba Naxi Food City, where the aromas of sour and spicy Sa Pie, lemongrass grilled fish, and hand-caught rice interweave into an urban symphony. 🏺Cultural Experience If you visit in April, the scene of the Water Splashing Festival with tens of thousands of people celebrating will definitely be unforgettable. Tourists who prefer tranquility can go to the Silver Pagoda opposite the Golden Pagoda. The pure white pagoda is reflected in the pool, like a fairyland at sunset. The night market in the Dai ancient town hides intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and ethnic song and dance. Rent a set of Dai costumes for CNY 150 to take photos and instantly integrate into local life. 🔖Tips Mangshi is warm in all seasons, and the best time to visit is from October to April of the following year; the attractions in the urban area are concentrated, and you can rent an electric car to visit in one day; it is recommended to stay in the city center, and the average cost per person during holidays is CNY 300 to stay in a Dai-style homestay. Slow down in this "slow-life" small city and let your senses immerse in the pagoda bells and the sour, spicy, and fresh flavors. Holiday travel

#Traveling in China (Guanyin Temple) Guanyin Temple, China, Dali Guanyin Temple in Dali has a legend that during the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin transformed into an 80-year-old woman, carrying a large rock on her back to block the soldiers from attacking Dali. When the soldiers saw that even the old women in the city were so strong, the young people must have great fighting power, so they led their army back. The people of Dali joined hands to build this temple at that time as a symbol of the city. #bomikoTraveling #Dali
