    Parking was reasonable and inexpensive, with staff to guide you, and there was no traffic congestion. The Golden Pagoda was eye-catching; standing on the observation deck offered a panoramic view of Mangshi, and taking photos with the Sky Mirror (referring to the pagoda's reflection in the sky) was truly spectacular.

    The petrified trees in the Precious Plant Garden are very valuable. We also saw other unusual rocks and rare tree species, making it a great place for parents with children to learn about science. The Shwedagon Pagoda is magnificent and awe-inspiring. We visited at 5 pm, and it was resplendent and solemn under the setting sun. Definitely worth a visit.

    It's a beautiful place. If you like taking photos, you must go in and experience it. There are many beautiful women wearing ethnic costumes taking photos. Although they are sweating profusely in the hot summer, they are still very happy and enjoying it.

    The "Tree-wrapped Pagoda" is located in the middle of the pedestrian street in Mangshi. It is a Dai-style pagoda, originally named "Iron City Pagoda". Because it was built in the former Jielie Village, it is called "Guangmu Jielie" in Dai language, which means "Iron City Pagoda". The pagoda was built in the mid-18th century during the tenure of Fang Zuofan, the 15th Tusi of Mangshi (1741-1770) to commemorate a victorious war. The "Iron City Pagoda" is a brick and stone structure with an octagonal base and a beaded cone body, about ten meters high. Later, Jielie Village was destroyed in the war, and the residents fled and did not return, leaving the pagoda unattended. As cracks appeared in the pagoda body over time, dust gradually accumulated in the wind. A banyan seed was brought to the crack of the pagoda by the wind or a bird, and the spring rain watered it, and the seed took root and sprouted. About a hundred years ago, a banyan tree grew in the cracks of the tower. After several storms, the tangled roots gradually wrapped around the tower, forming the current wonder of "tree wrapped tower". The ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree. Now the tree on the top of the tower is more than 30 meters high, and the canopy covers nearly 1,000 square meters. The tower wraps the tree, and the tree wraps the tower, forming a strong community. The "tree wrapped tower" is regarded as a "love tower" by the Dai people. The thick trunk tightly wraps the tower body, and the tree wall falls like a waterfall, bathing the tower base. The tree wraps the tower, and the tower embraces the tree, interdependent and complementing each other, forming a unique tree wrapped tower wonder, which is famous in western Yunnan and Southeast Asia.
