The eight corners of the pavilion are adorned with sculptures of brightly colored exotic flowers.

On the mountaintop about 1 km to the north, a pagoda stands tall, facing it from a distance. Between the Jingzhen Buddhist Temple and the pavilion stands a massive ancient tree with a trunk so thick that it takes several people to embrace it, adding to the beautiful scenery here.Menghai · 15.2km from downtown

Manlei Pagoda is located on the top of the mountain next to Manlei Village in the southeast of Mengzheba, Menghai County, hence the name of Manda Pagoda. Mengzhe Dam is the first dam in Xishuangbanna and an important granary in Xishuangbanna. There are two large and small pagodas, the big pagoda is 20 meters high and the small pagoda is 15 meters high. Legend has it that the location of the Little Tas Club was where the left bones of the Buddha were buried. Later, the Buddha's soul leaped from the ground and landed nearby, so two Buddhist temples and a big pagoda were built at the place where the Buddha's soul fell. There is a wild mango tree more than 30 meters high on the south side of the tower. It is said that the age of the tree is exactly the same as the history of the small tower. Manlei Pagoda is one of the pilgrimage sites for Buddhist believers in the Southern Tradition of Theravada in Xishuangbanna.Menghai · 20.3km from downtown

Xishuangbanna Zongfo Temple is located in downtown Jinghong, adjacent to Manting Imperial Garden, which was once the royal garden of the Dai kings. It is the central monastery for Theravada Buddhism in Xishuangbanna and historically governed Buddhist temples throughout the prefecture; it was formerly known in the Dai language as "Wa Ba Jie." According to historical Dai records, the temple's predecessor was first built in the 7th century, making it one of the earliest Theravada Buddhist temples in Xishuangbanna; today, local believers often come here to worship, creating a strong yet peaceful religious atmosphere. The temple's architecture is entirely in the traditional Dai style: the central Mahavira Hall features a multi-layered golden roof, with red wooden pillars standing on both sides of the hall, and a golden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the center; the first-floor hall also houses a bamboo-woven Buddha statue approx. 5m tall, crafted by a high-ranking Burmese monk, which is a rare sight in Xishuangbanna; the golden standing Buddha statue below the steps in front of the hall is nearly 8m tall, complementing the white Agamuni Stupa, the ordination hall, and the bell and drum towers. The flame patterns, peacock and dragon-shaped tile decorations on the golden roof ridges are full of Dai charm, making you feel as if you are in a Buddhist country in Southeast Asia.Jinghong · 36.6km from Menghai

The hotel is located on a tea plantation. We went hiking there the day we visited. There were quite a few mosquitoes outside, but the guide brought mosquito repellent, so we didn't get bitten. The rooftop terrace has great views, and the swimming pool is also nice.

I have traveled to many places in China. I like Mengbala. You can stay there all year round. It is very comfortable in summer. There may be a few days in January when it is a little cold. I like it to be cool at night so that I can sleep comfortably. The water quality in Mengbala is between 25 and 35. This is a rare good water quality in Yunnan and Guizhou. There is good tea to nourish the heart and calm the mind.

The China-Myanmar Border Park, also known as Xishuangbanna Daluo Forest Park, is located in Manjing Mountain at Daluo Port, bordering the Shan State Special Region 4 in Myanmar. The park is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with dense primeval forests and beautiful natural scenery. The main scenic spots include: tropical primeval forests, single-tree forests, forest zoos, rubber plantations, tropical orchards, Savage Valley, the Anti-Japanese Relics of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and cross-border bamboo rafting on the boundary river. It is a very good place.

Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is located in Jingzhen Village, 14 kilometers outside Menghai County, Xishuangbanna. This pavilion was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. It was mainly used for Buddhists to hold religious ceremonies. When local leaders want to study and decide important matters, they also make them here. Next to it is a Puti tree with lush branches and leaves.

I believe that many friends will visit some popular attractions after coming to Xishuangbanna. You will feel that there are many tourists. In fact, there are many small temples with a long history or peculiar shapes in the west of Xishuangbanna, which are very worth visiting. Today, I recommend the Manlei Pagoda in Mengzhe Town, Menghai County, west of Xishuangbanna. ⭐How to get there: 1. Self-driving is naturally the most convenient. You can drive your own car and use the navigation system to drive directly to the door of the pagoda. Of course, the road is relatively narrow when going up the mountain, but it is easy to drive because there are not many cars. 2. Friends who travel on a budget need to buy a bus from Banna to Mengzhe. In fact, there are relatively few buses to Mengzhe. We can choose to go to Menghai first and then transfer to Mengzhe. The ticket price is between 28-35 yuan. ⭐How to play: Although the name is called a pagoda, the architecture of the pagoda is still very unique. You can walk into the pagoda and feel the beauty inside the pagoda. 1. The pagoda is divided into three floors. Currently, only the third floor is well built in the pagoda. After walking barefoot on the third floor, you will be very shocked because there are shocking Thousand Buddhas and Four-Faced Buddhas here. 2. Although the interior of the first and second floors of the pagoda is not good, the exterior of the second and third floors can be walked out to see. I personally prefer the scenery outside. 3. The best time to take photos of the pagoda is at sunset. I stayed in Mengzhe Town for one night just to take photos of the sunset. The light at sunset is particularly weak, just sprinkled on the golden pagoda, which can take more colorful photos. At the same time, standing on the pagoda to watch the sunset is also very beautiful. ⭐Notes: 1. The opening hours of the pagoda are from 8 am to 6 pm 2. There are masters on the first floor of the pagoda. If you have any questions, you can consult them 3. The pagoda is still under construction. In the future, the interior of the first and second floors, as well as the observation deck on the west side, will be successfully built. I believe it will be more beautiful Are you tempted by such a free landscape? Come here to check in quickly

Xishuangbanna National Customs Park is located on the bank of Liusha River. There are all kinds of tropical trees and fruit trees in the park. It is a park that condenses Xishuangbanna's national customs and tropical garden landscape. There is a Xishuangbanna Liberation Monument, as well as six ethnic customs pavilions of Dai, Hani, Jinuo, Bulang, Lahu and Yao. National song and dance performances are held every day to show tourists the national customs of various ethnic groups in Banna. Every Wednesday, Saturday and holiday night, the Customs Park holds a variety of national activities. Whenever lychees and mangoes are ripe, the Customs Park also specially marks out an orchard for tourists to pick fresh fruits and taste them by hand to experience the joy of harvest.
