🛵 Mangshi is a small city, you can ride a shared bike around, eat while walking, and enjoy it.
No need to go to Southeast Asia, let me show you Menghuan Silver Pagoda
📍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.
Annual review! The architecture of this niche city in Mangshi is too stunning
I have traveled to 12 cities this year,
I have seen a lot of buildings along the way,
I saw European retro buildings in Dalian,
I saw Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou,
I saw the characteristic small town of the Bai nationality in Dali,
And the Dai-style huts in Mangshi,
The most stunning for me are the golden and silver towers in Mangshi,
Recommendation reason:
This niche border town has Southeast Asian-style buildings,
The golden and silver towers are the most representative, and you can experience Dai-style flavor without going abroad,
There are not many tourists here, the experience is very good, highly recommended.
🌈Mangshi 2-day tour route:
Tuanjie Road Pedestrian Street—Shubao Tower—Xinwan Factory Night Market
Menghuan Silver Tower—Menghuan Big Golden Tower—Dai Ancient Town
🔹Menghuan Big Golden Tower: You can look up in many places in Mangshi
This golden tower, navigate directly to the Big Golden Tower, parking at the door is 5 yuan/time, ticket 40r, you can take pictures at the door.
🔹Silver Tower: The silver white tower, 100 meters away from the Golden Tower, is a good place to watch the sunset and the night view of Mangshi. The top of the tower is hung with wind chimes, swaying in the wind, crisp and pleasant.
In addition to these, we feel that we can go to the Dongfeng Wholesale Market and the Hongli Comprehensive Market. These two places are not far apart, and the fruits and vegetables in the market are very good, and there are some Southeast Asian trinkets
Dehong Travel | It's a real loss if you don't come here!
⚱️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.
Explore the frontier town and check in at the exotic Menghuan Golden Pagoda!
🏯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.

A botanical garden worth visiting

The best family-friendly hot spring hotel in Mangshi
The hotel is big, with a children's water park, hot springs, private hot spring pools, and hot spring swimming pools.
But, the children's water park is cold water, and there are some things for kids to play with in the hot spring area.
The hotel service is good. We were given small bread when we checked in, and we were allowed to check in as soon as the room was cleaned. Our things were packed and waiting for us to pick up.
The fish in the lobby is very attractive to babies. The only bug in the room is that there is only one elevator on each floor. We were at the innermost part, so we had to walk a long way, which was good exercise.
The room is OK, relatively new with carpet, a bathroom with separate dry and wet areas, and a wardrobe with many hangers. There are free washing machines and dryers on the first floor.
Parking is free. Mangshi is small, so it's convenient to go anywhere. There is a very thoughtful design in the lobby on the first floor, and I suggest you go and see it!

Mangshi, Yunnan, is a little-known city.
Mangshi, Yunnan, is a little-known city. The advantage of Mangshi is that it is not very commercialized, so you can experience the same Southeast Asian style without going abroad. The locals are warm and simple, making it a great city for slow-paced travel.
Sunshine Mountain House is located in Manghuang Village, Mangshi, a traditional Dai village in Mangshi. 🏠The homestay is located in the highest part of the village, with a very wide view. Open the 🪟curtains and you can see the golden pagoda🗼, the silver pagoda, and the rolling mountains🏔️ in the distance.
The public area of the homestay🏡 is very large, the beds in the homestay are very soft, and the hygiene is very clean. The courtyard and the hall are full of tropical plants, and the staghorn ferns are hung on the whole red brick wall of the hall. It's like walking into a small tropical plant museum.
In winter❄️, the sun☀️ shines all over the hall from morning to night. You can drink coffee, bathe in the sun, look at the mountains in the distance, and enjoy the slow life.
On the day we checked in, we happened to catch the Dai festival in the village and experienced the local ethnic culture up close.
The owner of the homestay introduced us to many local Dai restaurants in the village. We chose one, Qianjia Restaurant, which is said to be an old Dai restaurant in the area. The food was really good, 🥬the vegetables were very fresh, the portions were large, and the price was very reasonable. 👍Highly recommended!
The homestay also offers 🛵electric bike rental service. Mangshi is not big, and the surrounding attractions are very close, so we rented a 🛵bike, which was very convenient.
Famous attractions include:
Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda, Dai Ancient Town, and Mengbanaxi Food City, all within 2 km.
🚏Transportation:
✈️Direct flight to Dehong Mangshi International Airport, 🈚️no high-speed train, you can take a 🚗taxi from Baoshan Station.
