Guys, you must check in at Menghuan Silver Pagoda in Yunnan, which is a real-life dreamlike fairyland! 📍It is located in the southern section of Bodhi Street, Mangshi Town, Mangshi City, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

📍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

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.

The two places are next to each other and you can visit them together. You don’t have to go into the Golden Pagoda. All my photos were taken at the entrance. The Silver Pagoda is really beautiful! Must go! Finally, watch the sunset and night view at the Golden Pagoda or Silver Pagoda~ ❷Tuanjie Street There are coconut trees on both sides of the road, giving it a tropical city feel. I recommend going there at noon for a full Southeast Asian feel! ❸Tree Wrap Tower You can find it by navigation. It is said that it took hundreds of years to form. The tower is wrapped by a big tree.

**📸** A photo battleground, winning at the starting line Hotel exterior: At first glance, there is a small courtyard. The front hall next to it is separate from the main guest building, looking like a café. The overall facade features white arched doorways with a European style vibe. The frosted green room doors are a real highlight, and they look even more beautiful when lit up at night. Light and shadow corridor: The archway corridor bathed in morning light becomes a natural photo studio, with tree branch 🌿 shadows on the blank walls; no matter what style of clothes you wear, every shot looks like a Hollywood blockbuster. Neon secret realm: The rooms mainly feature black, white, and yellow. The arched windows reveal a minimalist yet sophisticated design. **🚗** Within 10 minutes, capture the soul of Mangshi Menghuan Golden Pagoda (8-minute drive): The golden roof intertwined with palm trees makes your social media check-in look flawlessly like Southeast Asia. Silver Pagoda Sunset (5-minute walk from the Golden Pagoda): The pure white pagoda immersed in a pink-orange sky, with Dai ethnic costumes glowing softly in photos, instantly turning into high-end wallpaper. Best food explosion area (12-minute walk): Passion fruit spicy sauce splashing on a white T-shirt from Gan Ying’s chicken feet is willingly accepted; the old Menghuan grandma’s Pu Lu Da cup edge shot captures the moment cream falls. Even the wild secret realm **Tree-wrapped Pagoda** (6-minute drive) is easily mastered—a 200-year-old banyan tree engulfing a Buddhist pagoda. Standing in earth-tone clothes among dappled tree shadows, the dark-toned filter maximizes the storytelling vibe. 🛏️ **Detail hit for “clean freaks”** The rooms are a triumph of minimalist European style, with arched windows filtering in the sunshine of Dehong. Features include a light automatic toilet, small guest controls, makeup mirror, sofa, and more, with no unnecessary lines disturbing the view. Most notably, the mattress is very comfortable. ☕ **Service bonus: gentle ambush of coffee and alcohol** All-day coffee: The mini coffee in the lobby offers unlimited refills of Yunnan small beans. Sitting under the eaves, your mood instantly calms down. Goodnight drink: “Moonlight spills on the Silver Pagoda, tipsy and easy to dream” 🍸. Take a sip of the owner’s warmly recommended personally selected goodnight drink; the aroma spreads, relaxing even the most sensitive nerves. Unfortunately, my tolerance is low, so just a taste. Service: Professional like a hotel, yet with the warmth of a homestay owner ❤️. Especially their Mangshi travel guide is excellent, completely avoiding pitfalls. Hygiene: As a clean freak, I specifically checked the cleanliness. The courtyard, lounge area, and rooms have a lot of blank space, and keeping blank space clean is quite rare. From every angle, it truly is “hidden in the city, luxurious in a small space.” **Experience TIPS** - 📍 Location: No. 32 Xinhua Road, Mangshi, 10 minutes by car from the airport - 💰 Reference price: Just booked for 228 yuan including breakfast, but the owner said Mangshi is currently in the off-season; during peak seasons like the Water Splashing Festival, prices can go over 700 yuan. - 🌟 Bonus: Rent an electric bike at the hotel to easily check off all Mangshi attractions. #HotelRecommendation #BoutiqueDesignHotel #Travel #TravelPhotography

Whether it’s the euphoria of water fights or the awe of Munao dances, these memories will stay vivid forever. ✨

It's the only city in China named with a single character, and its Water Splashing Festival is 10 times grander than Xishuangbanna's. Some say it offers better value than Southeast Asia, allowing you to experience exotic charm without leaving the country—this is Mangshi, a small border town in Yunnan. Before coming, we knew it would be delicious and fun We saw flocks of peacocks and towering palm trees We tasted cuisine from Yunnan, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam We marveled at unique sights like the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda and the One-Tree Forest We soaked in Southeast Asian vibes at the Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda, and Bodhi Temple But! The most healing experience turned out to be Burmese-style hair washing! At first, we thought it was just a simple hair wash, but it turned out to be a full massage—a whole hour for just a few dozen yuan, making it hard not to fall in love. Any shop near Mangshi Square will give you a wonderfully relaxing experience 😌 ✅ Our itinerary: Tree-Wrapped Pagoda → Bodhi Street → Bodhi Temple → Meng Huan Golden Pagoda → Meng Huan Silver Pagoda → Dai Ancient Town → Manghuang Village → Rare Garden → One-Tree Forest (If you're driving, continue with these:) Heihe Old Slope → Mangbang Tree Hole Hot Spring → Ruili Here, there's no need to rush You'll naturally find the perfect way to enjoy it all

📍 Location: Navigate to Peach Tree Fork (approximately a 2-hour drive from the city center) 🌄 Highlights: Alpine meadows, pristine forests, sea of clouds at sunrise, stargazing while camping 📅 Best Season: November to April (dry season with clear skies and open views). However, during the rainy season, you can pick wild mushrooms 🍄 🏞️ What to Do? 1. Meadow Camping & Stargazing - **Camping Spot**: Flat meadows at the mountain top with excellent views. - **Recommended Gear**: Tent, moisture-proof mat, sleeping bag (nighttime temperature around 10°C), portable cooking equipment. - **Special Experiences**: - Watch the **sea of clouds at sunrise** in the morning and enjoy the **Milky Way at night**. Weather is crucial ❗️ It's all about luck 🍀 ⚠️ Notes: 1. **Unexplored Area**: No shops, some areas without signal. Bring your own food, drinking water, and power bank. 2. **Eco-friendly Travel**: Take all your trash with you 🚮 2. Hiking (for outdoor enthusiasts): There are several trails to choose from. It's recommended to hire a professional guide ⚠️ Keep warm in winter and be cautious of slippery slopes during the rainy season. --- "This place feels like Mangshi's hidden 'Altay'—quiet and serene, with only the sound of wind and cowbells. If you're tired of commercial tourist spots, come here to relax and unwind!" 🚙 Tip: Fill up your gas tank before departure, prepare an offline map, and enjoy your wilderness healing journey!

If you love a quiet and natural atmosphere, Mangshi's **Peacock Lake Scenic Road** is a treasure trove for photography enthusiasts! Compared to the popular Yin Tower Road, this spot is more secluded, offering a perfect blend of lake views, mountains, and tropical rainforest. Every shot here can turn into a dreamy forest-style masterpiece. **Reasons to Visit** ✅ **Less Crowded, More Beautiful**: Unlike popular tourist spots, this area has fewer visitors, allowing you to enjoy the entire road and lake view with ease. ✅ **Suitable Year-Round**: During the rainy season (June-August), the lake is shrouded in mist, resembling an ink painting. In the dry season (November-March), the water is crystal clear and blue. ✅ **Diverse Scenery**: The road winds through forests, lakeside boardwalks, and Dai-style villages, offering opportunities for **road trip shots, forest-style photos, and ethnic-themed photography**. --- 📍 **Location & Transportation** - Navigation: Search for "Mangshi Peacock Lake Ecological Scenic Area" (about a 20-minute drive from the city center). - Route: The scenic road around the lake is approximately 10 kilometers long. **Driving or cycling** (electric bikes are also an option) is recommended, with plenty of spots to stop and take photos along the way. - **Best Photo Spots**: - **North Shore Road**: S-shaped curves with lake reflections (near "Peacock Lake Viewing Platform"). - **West Shore Forest Section**: Tree-lined paths with dappled light and shadows. 📸 **Photography Tips** 1️⃣ Timing Morning (7-9 AM): Misty lake views for a dreamy vibe. Evening (4-6 PM): Golden hues as the sun sets over the road. 2️⃣ **Outfit Suggestions** Forest Style: White dresses, straw hats, woven bags. Ethnic Style: Dai-style shoulder bags and tie-dye fabrics. Road Trip Style: Denim or leather jackets with boots (paired with a motorcycle or bicycle). 3️⃣ Must-Capture Angles S-shaped Road: Use a low angle to emphasize depth (watch out for passing vehicles). Lakeside Fallen Trees: Sit on naturally fallen trees by the lake for stunning backlit shots. ⚠️ **Important Notes** - Some sections of the scenic road are narrow; park carefully and turn on hazard lights. - Roads may be slippery during the rainy season; wear non-slip shoes. In the dry season, protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. - Preserve the environment! Avoid leaving trash behind, and be cautious of slippery moss-covered rocks by the lake. **Hidden Activity**: If you have extra time, consider hiking the lakeside boardwalk around Peacock Lake (approximately 2 hours for a full loop)!
