Anonymous userThe boutique hotel was quite comfortable and clean. The laundry room was perfect for washing clothes I'd worn for two days, and the charging station was ideal for my car—it was inexpensive, only 1 RMB per kWh. The receptionists were friendly and polite, and even gave me a small gift. The breakfast selection was decent. It's not far from Mangshi Square, about a 15-minute walk. Overall, a good hotel.

山人1966The 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.

M22***38It'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.

秋风知我意～A Nighttime Stroll Through Mangshi Dai Ethnic Town: Half Fireworks, Half Buddhist Kingdom As car headlights pierce the night in Mangshi, Dehong Prefecture, a gilded archway with upturned eaves suddenly comes into view—the night in this Dai ethnic town glows. Just past the archway, the aroma of the food street wafts over: the sour and spicy flavors of "sa pie" mingled with the sweet fragrance of "pao lu da," roasted pork skin sizzles on charcoal, and women in sarongs pound chicken feet with a resounding pounding. Copper pots for Burmese milk tea flasks line the roadside carts, and mangoes piled higher than bowls are piled on top of ice jelly—even the evening breeze carries the joy of "carb freedom." But around a bend, the sweet aroma in the wind suddenly mingles with the soft tinkling of Buddhist bells. By day, the gilded pagodas are bathed in a warm yellow hue at dusk, their spires piercing the clouds like cradling a half-moon. The copper bells on the eaves sway in the wind, their intricate carvings in the play of light and shadow imbued with the gentle grace of Theravada Buddhism. Even the Dai houses lining the streets are nestled among flowers: bougainvillea climbs the wooden fences, and hanging chairs sway on the terraces, as if the brightness of Southeast Asia has been blended into the courtyards. The most enchanting aspect of this ancient town is the tranquility of a Buddhist kingdom that appears the instant you step out of the bustling city. No need to deliberately seek out attractions; just stroll along the cobblestone streets: to your left, tourists munching on pauluda (a type of Tibetan pastry); to your right, an elderly person turning a prayer wheel; having just snagged the last skewer of pork skin at a barbecue stall, you look up to see the golden roof of the pagoda bathed in moonlight. Mangshi's Dai Ancient Town isn't just a "replica of the ancient," but a fusion of Dai life, border vibrancy, and the leisurely pace of Buddhist temples, all cooked into a heartwarming "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" of everyday life. Don't forget to bring a bag of Burmese flatbread when you leave—after all, carrying its sweet aroma in your bag makes this trip to this "half-fireworks, half-Buddhist kingdom" truly worthwhile. Would you like me to add a must-try food list for Dai ancient towns?

弘扬师兄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.

M47***52It is worth going here. 1 From the top of the mountain, children like to explore caves. 2 Although there are many caves in Yunnan, this kind of various categories have concentrated, small and exquisite. This is the first one. 3 There is also a glass bridge hanging outside to take pictures. It is a very worthwhile attraction. I personally think it is more fun than the net red attractions, I am very recognized, I think 7 points are there
