It's recommended to take an electric car both ways, tickets are needed, walking back and forth is tiring 🥐🥐🥐Food section 1. Ruili Live Crab🦀: Spicy flavor/Green pepper frog🐸 2. 🍡Mangshi Xiuhua Jianshui Chrysanthemum Cross-bridge Rice Noodles: Beef dipping sauce 3. 🍝Lanlu Breakfast: Beef rice noodles 4. 🍜Lin's Yuanzi: Sticky rice cake/Yuanzi rice noodles/Milk tea with less sugar 5. 🥘Yanming Farmhouse: Shrimp paste/Spicy hotpot/Old grandma's potato/Fried snails 6.

Mang City doesn't boast or brag, but this Dawn City is worth revisiting, so make sure to bookmark it

Tourism is reviving, and the city whose popularity has risen the fastest is none other than Mang City. Locals never expected such an explosive influx of tourists. Mang City also has a beautiful name, 'Menghuan.' It is said that when the Buddha arrived from afar, it was just at the break of dawn, hence the name 'Menghuan,' which translates to 'City of Dawn.' On this trip, I want to share my genuine experience in Mang City with everyone. Mang City is a slow-paced small town. The authentic way to enjoy it is to ride a shared electric scooter, wander through the streets and alleys, look for delicious food, sit in a coffee shop for an afternoon, and experience the local customs. Overall, it's worth a second visit! 🚗How to get to Mang City? 🚘By car: Kunming—Dali—Baoshan—Mang City ✈️By plane: Direct flights to Mang City from various places ⚠️Tips on how to play in Mang City: Mang City is a border town, not positioned as a tourist city, so there are not many attractions, and you can finish touring them quite quickly. 1⃣️Menghuan Golden Pagoda/Silver Pagoda Landmark buildings of Mang City, separated by a parking lot, the scenic area is not large, and tickets are sold separately (40 on-site, 35 online). ✅Next to the parking lot, small shops rent Dai ethnic costumes for photos. ✅The Silver Pagoda is more photogenic, personally, I think it's enough to take pictures of the Golden Pagoda from the outside. 2⃣️Unity Street/Bodhi Street Two rows of tall palm trees, full of Southeast Asian charm, Bodhi Street has a Bodhi Temple, worth a visit along the way. ✅Unity Street photo spot: Navigate to Plum Coffee, come out at the gap on the roadside. ✅Bodhi Street photo spot: Navigate to Mang City Hotel, the sidewalk in front of the door. 3⃣️Shubao Pagoda An ancient tree with hundreds of years of history, with a pagoda wrapped by the tree. ✅The area around the ancient tree has become a parking lot, not a great environment. 4⃣️New Play Factory A relatively modern check-in spot, with lots of graffiti, recommended to go in the evening when there is a night market for snacks. 5⃣️Dai Ethnic Ancient Town A newly built village, I personally didn't like it and didn't go, but those who are interested can plan a visit. 6⃣️Shangjingkan Village It's recommended to spend half a day visiting this Dai village, there is a 400+ year old huge banyan tree behind the mountain. 🐷Tips for Mang City cuisine: Mostly Dai-flavored snacks, you can try different ones without repeating, but as someone from Sichuan, I wasn't too amazed. ✅Lin's Round Dumplings: Mainly beef dumpling soup, open for breakfast and dinner. ✅Lanlu Breakfast: Specializes in bait silk & rice noodles, need to queue up early. ✅Dreamy Dehong: Dai-flavored main meals, good taste, recommended to go early. ✅Xiaowacha Kitchen: Dai-flavored meals, it's advised to call ahead for reservations. ✅Best Food City: Gan Ying chicken feet, avocado juice, Paoluoda, Myanmar Shuaibababa, etc. ✅Hongli Comprehensive Market: Local market with fresh fruit. ✅Menshi Coffee: Delicious coffee, cup cards with Mang City labels. ✅Ah He Coffee: At the foot of the Golden and Silver Pagodas, very comfortable to bask in the sun. 🏠Accommodation in Mang City There are many hotels in Mang City, ranging from one hundred to several hundred yuan, overall not expensive, to each their own. 🚗Transportation in Mang City Taxis in Mang City are mainly called via Wanshun, but there are a lot of shared electric scooters, it's recommended to travel by small electric scooter, convenient and free. · 🙆‍♀️I am Fei Shishi, who never stops walking and loves to share 📸Passionate about capturing the beauty of the journey with my lens ❤️Follow me🤩 🙌To provide you with more travel photography and play strategies ·

I embarked on a journey of exotic charm in Mang City

1. The Mang City Golden Pagoda (Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda) is open until 10 pm, with an admission fee of 40 yuan. The pagoda is located on a mountain (you can ride a small electric scooter to the foot of the mountain, then walk 1 kilometer uphill). It can also be seen from some places at the foot of the mountain. I went there at night, and the close-up view at night is very beautiful. The inside of the pagoda is hollow, housing a large Buddhist hall. There is also an observation deck in the scenic area where you can see the cityscape. The estimated visiting time is about 30 minutes. 2. The Mang City Silver Pagoda (Menghuan Silver Pagoda) is very close to the Golden Pagoda, with an admission fee of 40 yuan. I visited during the day, and after entering, you have to climb a bit to get there. You cannot enter the Silver Pagoda, but you can see the Golden Pagoda while climbing the Silver Pagoda. If you don't want to go inside the Golden Pagoda, visiting the Silver Pagoda is also an option. Climbing the Silver Pagoda takes about 1 hour of visiting time. 3. Peacock Lake is very close to the foot of the Golden and Silver Pagoda mountains and is a local walking trail for exercise. It's a nice place to take a leisurely stroll if you have the time. 4. Bodhi Temple is accessible by a small electric scooter in the city, and it also houses a Buddhist hall. It's a nice spot to visit while wandering around the city, and there was no admission fee when I entered. 5. The Dai Minority Ancient Town is a commercial pedestrian street with an ethnic minority style. Going there in the evening to browse the night market, eat from a hot pot, and take a walk is a good choice. 6. Shubao Pagoda is a distinctive pagoda located in the city. The pagoda is inside a tree, and you can reach it by taking a walk during the day. 7. Mengbana Xi Rare Garden has an admission fee of 40 yuan. Inside, there are mostly bamboo forests to see, and the main attraction is to learn about some of the local precious timbers (silicified wood). The visit is quite enjoyable. There are also many peacocks raised inside, and you can get close to them (when I visited, the male peacocks were frantically displaying their feathers, which was very beautiful). The visiting time inside is about 1.5 hours. 8. Peacock Valley Forest Park is 15 kilometers away from the city by car. I drove there myself. The admission fee plus shuttle bus is 98 yuan per person, with a package ticket of 138 yuan (including all the chargeable attractions inside and the shuttle bus). If you don't buy the package ticket, some attractions inside require an additional fee: jungle leap is 20 yuan, glass tower is 10 yuan, and glass walkway is 30 yuan (you can bargain during the off-season). The Peacock Garden and Hundred Birds Garden do not require extra money. There are fixed-time peacock flying performances, and I watched the 12:30 show. There are also other animals to see, and a highlight is seeing the white peacocks. You can take close-up photos with the peacocks in the Peacock Garden. The visiting time is about 2-3 hours.

Jinggu Tree-wrapped Pagoda

It is a Buddhist pagoda of the Southern Transmission, with a square base, each side 4 meters long, made of red sandstone in the form of a multi-layered lotus. The pagoda body is made of green bricks in the shape of a gourd.

A spectacle of man-made and natural wonders

There is a tree-wrapped tower in Mangshi that is worth seeing. This tower, originally named Tiecheng Tower, was built by the 17th Tusi of Mangshi, Fang Yu, to commemorate a victory in a war, about two hundred years ago. Tiecheng Tower is a brick and stone tower, about ten meters high, octagonal in shape, with Buddha statues standing in the niches, not much different from the stone towers we often see. What's amazing is that after a long time of wind and sun, cracks appeared in the brick tower. And a banyan tree seed, by chance, was brought to the tower crack by the wind or a bird. Under the nourishment of spring rain, the tenacious seed sprouted and grew into a towering tree. So the ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree, forming the spectacle of the tree-wrapped tower. It is said that walking around the tower clockwise three times will bring good luck. Address: 100 meters west of the intersection of Yonghan Street and Baobo Road, Mangshi, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Opening hours: all day Admission: free
