[2025 Jinghong Attraction] Travel Guide for Xishuangbanna Mengle Cultural Tourism Area (Updated Apr)

In the Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there is a very Southeast Asian-style temple called 'Mengle Grand Buddha Temple.' Located in Jinghong City, it is often referred to as 'Jinghong Grand Buddha Temple.' It was rebuilt on the site of the ancient royal temple of the Dai Kingdom, 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple.' The Theravada Buddhism prevalent in Xishuangbanna is very similar to that in Thailand, Myanmar, and other Southeast Asian regions, which is the Theravada Buddhism we are familiar with. No wonder the architectural style feels so familiar, with a strong Thai Lanna influence. Outside the temple stands a magnificent Buddha statue, 45 meters tall, said to be the largest outdoor Buddha statue in Theravada Buddhism, quite spectacular. The entrance fee is 120 RMB, which is not cheap, but there are performances to watch, and a unique peacock release event, though unfortunately, I missed it due to timing. If you don't want to climb the stairs up the mountain, you can choose to take the electric car. Overall, it is a well-developed tourist attraction.

|||。🌻 Xishuangbanna Travel Guide National Day is coming to Xishuangbanna, and I found that many places are already crowded on the first day of the holiday. To give tourists a better experience, here are some suggestions. 💧I. Weather Conditions April to October is the rainy season in Xishuangbanna, and National Day is no exception. From October 1st this year, it basically rains in the morning and drizzles intermittently in the afternoon. After 11pm, the rain is heavier. Therefore, tourists must prepare raincoats and umbrellas. 🌳 II. Recommended Attractions 1. Botanical Garden (5A): This is a must-visit attraction in Xishuangbanna. 2. Wild Elephant Valley: It is recommended to only purchase tickets to watch the performance and feed the elephants. 3. Original Forest Park: You can experience the jungle crossing project. 4. Dai Ethnic Village: It is very interesting to play water splashing here. 5. Manting Garden: Close distance, suitable for taking photos and checking in. 6. Mengle Cultural Tourism Zone (Big Buddha Temple): Suitable for tourists interested in Dai culture. 7. Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (Starlight Night Market): You can go shopping and eating every night, but the traffic flow is very large from 8pm to 11pm on holidays. 8. Jino Mountain Hiking: This is a popular project. Remember to book a guide in advance and wear rain boots (you can bring your own or buy them on site). 👗 III. Precautions for Tourists (I) Clothing Preparation 1. Mainly summer clothes, sandals can be worn. If you plan to play water splashing, you can bring more clothes. It is recommended to bring a thin coat as it is cooler in the morning and evening when it rains. 2. Girls can buy Dai costumes locally for photos, which are affordable, but remember to bargain. (II) Travel Photography Suggestions There are many travel photography shops, so choose carefully. You can find a specialized makeup shop and take photos yourself. 🍉(III) Food Recommendations 1. Fruit Purchase: After arriving in Xishuangbanna, go to the local farmers' market to buy fruits, which are fresh and cheap. Some fruits need to be placed for 1-2 days before they can be eaten. Do not buy fruits in Gaozhuang, the fruits in Mangge Market are also more expensive, Jinghong Farmers' Market, Xishuangbanna Prefecture Wholesale Market, and Gasa Wholesale Market are good choices. 2. Barbecue Places: Do not eat barbecue at Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market, the price is expensive and the taste is average. Dai-style barbecue is recommended at Youxiang Food Plaza. 🏠 (IV) Accommodation Options 1. It is not recommended to stay in or near Gaozhuang, as the prices are high and it is noisy. 2. Hotels such as Wyndham around 5km from Gaozhuang are good choices, comfortable and clean, with convenient taxi access. 🚗 (V) Transportation 1. Due to the possibility of heavy rain during the rainy season, check the weather and road conditions before traveling, especially on highways, as there is a possibility of road closures. 2. In the city, you can choose to take a taxi or ride a shared electric bike; when going to major attractions, you can drive yourself, rent a car, take a bus or hitchhike. It is not recommended to book a car, as the price is expensive. 🎆IV. Additional Tips During holidays, there are fireworks displays at Gaozhuang Night Market, starting at 20:30. The best viewing point is the riverside entrance of Gate 1 of Starlight Night Market. The above is a guide based on my experience of traveling in Xishuangbanna, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

There is not only the romantic poetry of rain hitting bananas, but also the endless folk customs, and the exotic customs that can be felt without going abroad. 🕑Best travel season: 🔆Endless summer without winter, warm and pleasant all year round, with an average annual temperature of about 22℃. But different seasons experience different: ▶️November to February of the following year: The weather is dry and cool, suitable for outdoor activities and exploring natural landscapes, and it is a good time to watch wildlife and taste tropical fruits. ▶️March to May: The temperature is suitable, flowers and plants are blooming, and it is a good time to admire the sea of flowers and visit temples. ▶️June to October: The rainy season, high humidity.

They are all mainly multi-slope flat tile buildings with heavy eaves. The Buddhist temples are mostly square, facing east, with the roof slope formed by three layers, the middle hall is higher, and the east and west sides decrease alternately. The roof uses rectangular tiles, and the tile tails are hooked on the flat bamboo crossbeams. Mengle Buddha Temple is also the same. Just ✅【Scale】 The overall color of Mengle Buddha Temple is red and yellow, which looks golden and dazzling from a distance. This is also a standard building of Theravada Buddhism.

📍 Xishuangbannanyuan Cultural Tourism Zone ⏰ 8:30 - 17:30 💰120 RMB The Big Buddha Temple is literally a temple with a large Buddha statue! It takes about 15 minutes by taxi from downtown Xishuangbanna. Rather than going through a travel agency, it is cheaper to call Tidi, the Chinese Uber! You can arrive and see it. The entrance fee is 120 yuan, and you have to climb the mountain, but you can take a shuttle bus for about 20 yuan. You can walk down and see it, so I recommend taking a car on the way up 🤣 If you want to take a picture of the back of the Buddha and the city from the top, you have to walk on the glass bridge… Pay 5 yuan to rent shoe covers again.. You can only take a city shot by crossing the glass bridge.. Pants are a must because people are looking up from right below 😝 I heard that wearing pants that are too short or clothes that reveal your shoulders are prohibited. If you go down the stairs, there is a small park with many peacocks. You can also experience feeding the peacocks and taking pictures at the right time🦚 #PleaseWinter #Winter #Xishuangbanna #ChinaTravel #SoloTravel
