Tengchong Travel - Mangshi Tour | Menghuan Silver Pagoda

Menghuan Silver Pagoda, also known as the Thousand Buddha Silver Pagoda, is a 66-meter-high, 46-meter-diameter silver-white pagoda. Its silver-white body is sacred and solemn, earning it the title of "City of Dawn." It is one of the iconic buildings in Mangshi, forming a unique landscape with the Golden Pagoda. *Location: Menghuan Silver Pagoda is located in Mangshi, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is situated on Leiyaran Mountain by Peacock Lake, facing Menghuan Golden Pagoda across the mountain. It is one of the iconic attractions in Mangshi. *Architectural Skills: Menghuan Silver Pagoda has a unique architectural style, grand and majestic, with a rich religious and cultural heritage. Its body is intricately decorated with Southeast Asian flair, and the exquisite carvings on the pagoda are breathtaking. The Silver Pagoda is 66 meters high, with a diameter of 46 meters, composed of 80 small pagodas. The main pagoda's body decoration, platform, and spire are all hand-carved by craftsmen using Dai silver and silver plating materials. Each spire and decoration embodies the exquisite skills and devout faith of Dai craftsmen. *Faith Carrier: In Dai-inhabited areas, pagodas are the most numerous and diverse buildings, serving as both a symbol of ethnic faith and a practical carrier. They hold a significant place in the hearts of the Dai people. Menghuan Silver Pagoda showcases Dai architectural art and preserves local ethnic minority culture. Here, whether walking with hands clasped in prayer or sitting quietly in the corridor, one can find inner peace. *Photography: The Silver Pagoda is not only a religious site but also a great place for photography. Beautiful photos can be taken both day and night. The area around the Silver Pagoda is filled with trendy elements, such as three photo platforms on the west side, one with glass flooring for a sky mirror effect, and another with a crescent moon for visitors to take photos with the pagoda. These features make the Silver Pagoda a popular spot for tourists.
