It is also an important gateway to south and southeast Asia from China. Mangshi was the seat of the imperially recognized Dai tribal leader, and today members of the Dai, Han (ethnic Chinese), Jingpo, Palaung, Achang, and Lisu peoples live here.

My favorite border town so far.
If you don't want to work, come to Mangshi, a small town on the border of Yunnan, for a few days.
The pace here is slow, and every day feels leisurely; the scenery is charming, and you can enjoy the rich Southeast Asian style everywhere; there are many delicacies, and you can eat different things every day; the climate is pleasant, not so hot in summer, and about 20 degrees in winter.

🛵 Mangshi is a small city, you can ride a shared bike around, eat while walking, and enjoy it.
No need to go to Southeast Asia, let me show you Menghuan Silver Pagoda
📍Attraction Address: Menghuan Silver Pagoda
Located about 200 meters west of Xianchi Road, Mangshi, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, about 3 kilometers from Mangshi city center and about 10 kilometers from Mangshi Airport.
🚗Attraction Transportation:
You can directly navigate to Menghuan Silver Pagoda. There are parking spaces on both sides of the mountain road near the destination, and there is a large parking lot at the end of the navigation.
Public transportation is not recommended as there is a lot of walking involved.
👍️Must-visit Attractions: Recommended spots for taking good photos of the Silver Pagoda
Moon Platform⭐⭐⭐Moon prop.
Glass Platform⭐⭐⭐⭐One of the best spots for photos, usually crowded, best to go in the late afternoon.
Corridor on the right side of the Silver Pagoda⭐⭐Flowers as foreground.
Slope leading to the Silver Pagoda⭐Many people like to take photos of the Golden Pagoda from here, but personally, I think it's average and not as good as entering the Golden Pagoda.
🎟️Ticket Information: 40/person
💗Other Tips:
Note that although the Golden Pagoda and the Silver Pagoda are on the same mountain range and very close, they are managed separately with different tickets.
From a photographer's perspective, I prefer the Golden Pagoda at dusk and the Silver Pagoda during the day (the Golden Pagoda guide is in another note).
The Silver Pagoda is more suitable for taking photos of people, so you can wear beautiful artistic clothes for the shoot.
Annual review! The architecture of this niche city in Mangshi is too stunning
I have traveled to 12 cities this year,
I have seen a lot of buildings along the way,
I saw European retro buildings in Dalian,
I saw Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou,
I saw the characteristic small town of the Bai nationality in Dali,
And the Dai-style huts in Mangshi,
The most stunning for me are the golden and silver towers in Mangshi,
Recommendation reason:
This niche border town has Southeast Asian-style buildings,
The golden and silver towers are the most representative, and you can experience Dai-style flavor without going abroad,
There are not many tourists here, the experience is very good, highly recommended.
🌈Mangshi 2-day tour route:
Tuanjie Road Pedestrian Street—Shubao Tower—Xinwan Factory Night Market
Menghuan Silver Tower—Menghuan Big Golden Tower—Dai Ancient Town
🔹Menghuan Big Golden Tower: You can look up in many places in Mangshi
This golden tower, navigate directly to the Big Golden Tower, parking at the door is 5 yuan/time, ticket 40r, you can take pictures at the door.
🔹Silver Tower: The silver white tower, 100 meters away from the Golden Tower, is a good place to watch the sunset and the night view of Mangshi. The top of the tower is hung with wind chimes, swaying in the wind, crisp and pleasant.
In addition to these, we feel that we can go to the Dongfeng Wholesale Market and the Hongli Comprehensive Market. These two places are not far apart, and the fruits and vegetables in the market are very good, and there are some Southeast Asian trinkets
Dehong Travel | It's a real loss if you don't come here!
⚱️When traveling to Dehong, the Menghuan Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda are a must-visit. The two towers stand on the Leiyarang Mountain on the edge of Mang City, reflecting each other, and from a distance, they look like the lively eyes of Mang City.
📍Location: At the top of Leiyarang Mountain by the Peacock Lake in Mang City
🎫Ticket: Both the Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda are 40r
🗼The Menghuan Golden Pagoda legend says that 'Sakyamuni' lived here when he was reincarnated as a golden rooster in his lifetime. The entire pagoda is magnificent, and it's very photogenic just taking pictures at the entrance. Inside, there are many precious items of Buddhism, which are worth seeing.
🦚In addition to the pagoda, the Peacock Dance is also very exciting. This is a folk dance where people wear peacock tails and imitate its dance. It's very lifelike and eye-catching. The peacock's spreading wings and drinking from the spring, the dance is rich in sculpture, each with different beauty and artistic conception.
🌙 The Silver Pagoda is hand-carved by craftsmen using Dai silver and other materials. It is a display of Dai architectural art and a heritage of local minority culture. To see the Silver Pagoda, you must first go to the top of the mountain. The sky and the big moon are really good for taking pictures. Everyone is lining up, and it's not too late to take pictures in the square later. Here, you can eat some ethnic snacks, look at the sea of flowers and the cityscape of Mang City, and find a place for your soul.
🗼Walk around the pagoda three times, pray for good luck, meditate quietly with the Sanskrit sounds coming from the Golden Pagoda, and give your weary body and mind a break from the mundane world. Or enjoy a sunset at the Menghuan Silver Pagoda surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and watch the pagoda change into different colors and artistic conceptions.
Explore the frontier town and check in at the exotic Menghuan Golden Pagoda!
🏯It's not abroad, nor is it Xishuangbanna, this is the Menghuan Golden Pagoda in Dehong Mangshi, full of exotic charm! As a landmark building of Dehong Mangshi, it is a must-visit spot that cannot be missed!
😉The towering and spectacular golden pagoda shows its brilliance. Under the sunshine, it is even more dazzling. I am very fortunate to have watched the wonderful and lively Dai peacock dance under this golden pagoda, which is said to be a dance handed down from ancient times.
☀️The golden pagoda is an octagonal four-door design, hollow inside, it is a hollow Buddhist pagoda, a holy place for the local people to worship and pray. When I went a few days ago, two of the four doors were opened, and you can enter the pagoda to worship after taking off your shoes.
👏At its highest point, it is topped with a 2.3-ton golden dome, which is the first golden Buddhist pagoda in China and the first hollow Buddhist pagoda in Asia.
📷Recommended photo spots:
1⃣At the entrance of the scenic area (when there are many people, there may be multiple backgrounds)
2⃣At the four entrances of the pagoda (it is recommended to find a door that is not open)
3⃣Use other slightly lower pagodas in the scenic area as the background to take atmosphere photos.
💴Ticket: 40 at the scenic spot/38 online
🚗Transportation: Taxi or self-driving

Mangshi 3D2N Travel Guide.
👯 Our first stop in Yunnan was Mangshi, which was also the city I missed the most after the trip. The slow pace of life, comfortable climate, and friendly locals made our trip even more enjoyable!
Here is our itinerary for your reference:
🏠Accommodation:
Thanks to everyone's recommendations, we stayed at the Yuelin Hotel, which is next to Mangshi Square and close to other places. The hotel environment, hygiene, service, and details were all great. A comfortable stay is essential for a good trip! Highly recommended!
💰Cost: Double room CNY 180/night, including buffet breakfast and free airport transfer.
🚗Transportation:
I don't recommend renting a car, as Mangshi is not very big and many popular places are close to each other. We didn't rent a car. We took a taxi to places that were a bit far away. Taxis are cheap here, about CNY 5 for 3 km. This city is perfect for city walks (we walked up the mountain to the Golden Pagoda, and the scenery along the way was beautiful).
🟡Itinerary:
DAY 1️⃣:
Airport transfer to hotel at noon ➡️ Find food ➡️ Xinwan Factory Night Market ➡️ Go back to rest
💁 There are many delicious foods at the night market, and you can eat snacks while shopping.
DAY2️⃣:
Breakfast at hotel (delicious!) ➡️ Mangshi Hongli Market (fruits!) ➡️ Bodhi Street ➡️ Mengbalanaxi Rare Park 💰CNY 40/person (about 3 hours) ➡️ Dinner: Hand-pulled rice noodles ➡️ Walk to the Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda in the evening
💁Tips
🔶 There are many fruits and vegetables at Hongli Market, and they are relatively cheap. Enjoy!
🔶 Highly recommend the Rare Park!!! The peacocks are free-range and not afraid of people. You can see a variety of species!
🔶 Bodhi Street is great for photos, but be careful of cars on the road and wear sunscreen (I got sunburned 😭😭).
🔶 We climbed the stairs up the mountain to the Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda. The scenery along the way was nice. It took about 40 minutes. We didn't plan to take photos, so we just looked at the pagodas at the entrance. The Silver Pagoda is very close to the Golden Pagoda.
DAY3️⃣:
Momo Hair Wash and Massage (next to the hotel) ➡️ Bus station ➡️ Tengchong
💁Tips
🔶 You must try the hair wash and massage. It was so comfortable, very professional, and the service was gentle and patient.
🔶 The bus station is about 1 km from the hotel. You can buy tickets in advance on the Baoxiaohang app. There are many buses to Tengchong (the buses are very spacious and comfortable!).

🍃The architecture and environment are all in Southeast Asian style. The room has a large bathtub 🛁. It's very comfortable to take a bath! There is a swimming pool in the middle, and you can enter the pool directly from the room. There are large banana leaves, which are very photogenic 📸. I saw many girls wearing 👘 Dai costumes and taking photos 📸 in the hotel.

Vanshi Dai Ethnic Town Hotel.
XO
I came to this small city, Mangshi, for this Vanshi Hotel. This hotel is well-known locally and has a great location, right next to the Dai Ethnic Town, with easy access. Mangshi is not big, and it is not far from the hotel to anywhere. The scenery in the hotel is so beautiful, whether it is day or night. I had an unforgettable birthday here, and I would take a leisurely walk in the courtyard with my husband at night. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone, both in terms of quality, environment, and service.
Vanshi Hotel (Dai Ethnic Town)
#familytrip it was a quiet and small city in china. The weather was so nice. The food was awesome. We’ve been a week there and everyday there was an event in the middle of the town including playing music, water splashing, dancing and so on. There are two breathtaking pagoda which is called as silver temple and gold temple.
This beautiful homestay in Mangshi is a must-stay.
Backed by an ancient town and facing the Golden and Silver Pagodas, the homestay offers a wide view and beautiful scenery in all directions. You won't be able to resist taking photos here. 📷 It's a great place to take photos!
The rooms have different styles to meet the different photo needs of you and your friends!
In the evening, have a few drinks with friends on the homestay terrace, enjoy the evening breeze, and watch the sunset. It's worth it!
Qingchenli Homestay in Mangshi: A Homestay in the Scenery!
I accidentally found this homestay and booked a super cost-effective special room with various discounts from the store, which completely amazed me. The environment is super good, the garden is big and beautiful, and the decoration is very high-end. It is located in a corner of the Dai Ancient Town Dehong Courtyard, very quiet, close to the scenic area, and has plenty of parking spaces (not useful for me, after all, I didn't drive here). The hostess is a unique ethnic minority (I forgot which ethnic group) and is very humorous, sincere, and considerate. She prepared a lot of local fruits and snacks that we had never seen before. The hostess may not know much about operations, so there are not many rooms available. Including our room, there were only two rooms, so we had the whole villa with a large garden to ourselves! Unfortunately, we only arranged one day in Mangshi, but such a good homestay must be recommended to everyone!
Mangshi is full of characteristics and mystery - (Silver Pagoda Chapter).
The Silver Pagoda is next to the Golden Pagoda
Compared with the Golden Pagoda, the Silver Pagoda is much larger and has many more places to visit.
🎫Ticket is RMB40
It is recommended to go early as there will be more and more people.
If you want to take pictures of "Mirror in the Sky", you have to get there early... but everyone will queue up.
It was inconvenient for us to take the baby with us, so we didn’t take any pictures.
The Silver Pagoda is still worth visiting.

Great homestay in Mangshi!
Located next to Dai Ancient Town, you can see the golden pagoda from your bed or bathtub. The room also has a private garden, so you can take great photos from any angle.
The 2-meter bed has the same mattress and zero-pressure pillow as Atour Hotel, so it's super comfortable.

Great value for money!
In Mangshi, the most surprising thing was the homestay.
! We stayed at the Muyu Xi Homestay in Dehong Courtyard, next to the Dai Ancient Town.
Location and Environment:
Muyu Xi Homestay is located in the Dehong Courtyard villa area, next to the Dai Ancient Town, making it convenient to go anywhere. The homestay is surrounded by lush greenery, with a faint fragrance in the air, instantly relaxing you. The homestay is designed in a modern minimalist style, retaining the original wood features while maintaining a sense of fashion. Standing on the terrace of the homestay, you can enjoy a distant view of the ancient town, which is quite charming.
Room Facilities:
I stayed in a family suite on the third floor, with a warm and elegant overall color scheme. The wooden furniture in the room emits a faint wood fragrance, complementing the greenery outside the window. The bed is soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. It is worth mentioning that the furniture in the room is all smart, and the homestay provides high-quality toiletries. Both the bed and bath towels are very clean, making you feel the warmth and comfort of home.
Service Experience:
The beautiful owner of the homestay is very nice and easy to get along with. She not only provided us with drinks and fruit snacks but also personally introduced us to the surrounding attractions and food. Especially the beef jerky made by the owner herself, it was super delicious!
Don't forget to bring your camera, as every corner here is a perfect background for photos. Just the exquisite courtyard of the homestay alone can earn you a lot of likes on social media!

Mangshi is so city!
My friends all asked me about it when I posted it on my Moments. My friends even blamed me for not taking her to Thailand with me.
It's really not Thai treasure, it's Mangshi.
Mangshi is really awesome this time.
Although it's on the street, it's very quiet at night. It's really comfortable to stroll around. It's 9 kilometers away from the airport. Breakfast is my favorite rice noodles and rice noodles. Ah, I really love it.
It's really worth a visit.
