Mang City doesn't boast or brag, but this Dawn City is worth revisiting, so make sure to bookmark it

Tourism is reviving, and the city whose popularity has risen the fastest is none other than Mang City. Locals never expected such an explosive influx of tourists. Mang City also has a beautiful name, 'Menghuan.' It is said that when the Buddha arrived from afar, it was just at the break of dawn, hence the name 'Menghuan,' which translates to 'City of Dawn.' On this trip, I want to share my genuine experience in Mang City with everyone. Mang City is a slow-paced small town. The authentic way to enjoy it is to ride a shared electric scooter, wander through the streets and alleys, look for delicious food, sit in a coffee shop for an afternoon, and experience the local customs. Overall, it's worth a second visit! 🚗How to get to Mang City? 🚘By car: Kunming—Dali—Baoshan—Mang City ✈️By plane: Direct flights to Mang City from various places ⚠️Tips on how to play in Mang City: Mang City is a border town, not positioned as a tourist city, so there are not many attractions, and you can finish touring them quite quickly. 1⃣️Menghuan Golden Pagoda/Silver Pagoda Landmark buildings of Mang City, separated by a parking lot, the scenic area is not large, and tickets are sold separately (40 on-site, 35 online). ✅Next to the parking lot, small shops rent Dai ethnic costumes for photos. ✅The Silver Pagoda is more photogenic, personally, I think it's enough to take pictures of the Golden Pagoda from the outside. 2⃣️Unity Street/Bodhi Street Two rows of tall palm trees, full of Southeast Asian charm, Bodhi Street has a Bodhi Temple, worth a visit along the way. ✅Unity Street photo spot: Navigate to Plum Coffee, come out at the gap on the roadside. ✅Bodhi Street photo spot: Navigate to Mang City Hotel, the sidewalk in front of the door. 3⃣️Shubao Pagoda An ancient tree with hundreds of years of history, with a pagoda wrapped by the tree. ✅The area around the ancient tree has become a parking lot, not a great environment. 4⃣️New Play Factory A relatively modern check-in spot, with lots of graffiti, recommended to go in the evening when there is a night market for snacks. 5⃣️Dai Ethnic Ancient Town A newly built village, I personally didn't like it and didn't go, but those who are interested can plan a visit. 6⃣️Shangjingkan Village It's recommended to spend half a day visiting this Dai village, there is a 400+ year old huge banyan tree behind the mountain. 🐷Tips for Mang City cuisine: Mostly Dai-flavored snacks, you can try different ones without repeating, but as someone from Sichuan, I wasn't too amazed. ✅Lin's Round Dumplings: Mainly beef dumpling soup, open for breakfast and dinner. ✅Lanlu Breakfast: Specializes in bait silk & rice noodles, need to queue up early. ✅Dreamy Dehong: Dai-flavored main meals, good taste, recommended to go early. ✅Xiaowacha Kitchen: Dai-flavored meals, it's advised to call ahead for reservations. ✅Best Food City: Gan Ying chicken feet, avocado juice, Paoluoda, Myanmar Shuaibababa, etc. ✅Hongli Comprehensive Market: Local market with fresh fruit. ✅Menshi Coffee: Delicious coffee, cup cards with Mang City labels. ✅Ah He Coffee: At the foot of the Golden and Silver Pagodas, very comfortable to bask in the sun. 🏠Accommodation in Mang City There are many hotels in Mang City, ranging from one hundred to several hundred yuan, overall not expensive, to each their own. 🚗Transportation in Mang City Taxis in Mang City are mainly called via Wanshun, but there are a lot of shared electric scooters, it's recommended to travel by small electric scooter, convenient and free. · 🙆‍♀️I am Fei Shishi, who never stops walking and loves to share 📸Passionate about capturing the beauty of the journey with my lens ❤️Follow me🤩 🙌To provide you with more travel photography and play strategies ·
