I have suffered in Mangshi, and I really don’t recommend going there in February. I came to a city because of a song…

"I want to go to Mangshi with you, see the bamboo houses of the Dai people, listen to the peacocks' songs, and feel the warm breeze." A song "Mangshi Love Song" made me yearn for this exotic city of Mangshi. In February, I set foot on this magical land. Now I will share my travel guide with you, and start the journey to Mangshi together😎 Preliminary preparation The temperature in Mangshi is comfortable in February, so you only need to prepare light clothes👚, but it will be a little cool in the morning and evening, so you can prepare a thin jacket. Book tickets for attractions on travel platforms in advance to avoid delays. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent products are also essential, as Mangshi has plenty of sunshine and many mosquitoes. My route Day 1: Arrive at Mangshi - Mangshi Square - Tree-wrapped Tower When you first arrive in Mangshi, go to Mangshi Square to experience the leisurely pace of life there. There are many citizens walking and dancing in the square, full of life. Then we headed to the Tree-wrapped Pagoda. This unique landscape is formed by a banyan tree wrapping around a pagoda. It has witnessed the changes of time and is very atmospheric for taking photos. Day 2: Menghuan Golden Pagoda - Silver Pagoda - Sankeshu Food Street In the morning, we went to Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda. This golden pagoda stands on the top of the mountain, solemn and majestic. Standing on the top of the pagoda, you can overlook the panoramic view of Mangshi. In the afternoon, we went to the adjacent Silver Pagoda. The silver-white tower was holy and beautiful, and it contrasted beautifully with the Shwedagon Pagoda. In the evening, go to Sankeshu Food Street to taste a variety of special foods and start a carnival for your taste buds. About surrounding attractions Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda: "Look at the shining golden pagoda, and the faith in your heart is burning." Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda is a landmark building in Mangshi and one of the representatives of Theravada Buddhism, demonstrating a strong national culture. Silver Pagoda: The white tower body and the golden decorations complement each other. Under the sunlight, it emits a soft light, making it a great place to take photos. Tree-wrapped Pagoda: A unique fusion of natural and cultural landscapes. The lush banyan tree and the simplicity of the pagoda form a wonderful combination, telling an ancient story. Accommodation Guide It is recommended to live in the urban area of ​​Mangshi, where transportation is convenient and surrounding supporting facilities are complete. If you want to be close to the attractions, you can choose a homestay near Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda, where you can see the beautiful scenery when you open the window🏨. Food Guide Dai-style pilaf: A variety of dishes are placed on banana leaves, and you can eat them with your hands to experience a unique dining experience. There are grilled fish with lemongrass, pineapple rice, etc. Every bite is super satisfying🍚. Paoruda: Rich coconut milk paired with crispy biscuits, purple rice, etc. It has a rich taste, sweet but not greasy, and is a must-try dessert in Mangshi. Sapie: It is divided into lemon Sapie, bitter Sapie, etc. Its unique flavor is unforgettable and it is a classic of Dai cuisine. Mangshi in February is as warm as spring and full of colorful flowers.
