Departing from Xishuangbanna to Dali by self-driving on G214, Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion | You really know how to have fun!

Address, Jingdai Buddhist Temple in Jingzhen Village, Mengzhe Township, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is an important building of the central Buddhist temple in Jingzhen, located on the top of a circular hill next to Jingzhen Village, close to the Liusha River. The pavilion is octagonal in shape, with a brick and wood structure, and is about 20 meters high, consisting of a base, pavilion body, and spire. It is said that the pavilion was built according to the style of the 'Kazhonghan' golden shawl cap of Buddha Sakyamuni, exclusively for the use of high monks to recite scriptures. The pavilion has 8 angles, representing the 8 'Mahatma' (high monks) around the Buddha; the 4 doors on the pavilion facing the southeast and northwest indicate that the followers should spread the thoughts of Buddhism in all directions. On January 13, 1988, the Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion was announced by the State Council as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units. This trip departs from Xishuangbanna, self-driving on National Highway 214 to Dali, the first attraction. 🌈Attraction with free parking, no admission fee, a sanitation fee of 10 yuan per person is charged.
