As the first stop in Xishuangbanna, Menghai is truly a hidden gem of a small county. Several national cultural heritage sites like Bajiaoting and Manduan Temple are ancient Dai buildings dating back hundreds of years. Scattered throughout the countryside and village entrances, they remain as charming and exquisite as ever, making visitors reluctant to leave. Mengjinglai, the first village on the China-Myanmar border, was the filming location for the drama "Dad." I especially love that season, with the curly-haired Xuanxuan in "Who Am I." Many indigenous people live there, preserving the original style of Dai villages. Just separated from Myanmar by a net, it is serene and ancient, like a paradise on earth. Inside, Xianglian Village is filled with colorful water lilies, creating a stunning scene. The journey along the way is also full of beautiful scenery: cherry blossoms bloom like scattered stars, phoenix flowers blaze like fire and clouds, slender sugarcane topped with pink flower spikes like smoke and mist, and dragon fruit fields requiring full sunlight hang heavy with bulbs—something I've never seen before. In what should be a cold winter, here flowers bloom profusely and greenery flourishes. Especially in this small county, there are many delicious food shops where you can taste authentic Dai flavors, satisfying both the eyes and the palate. This trip easily deserves a nine out of ten.

Although Menghai is a county town, there are almost no chain hotels besides the Angsana where we stayed, but Didi (a ride-hailing app) is very convenient. In the morning, we took a taxi to Manlei Buddhist Temple, which cost 50 yuan. Then we drove back, passing Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion and Manduan Buddhist Temple, both cultural relics protection units. For lunch, we returned to the center of Menghai and had mushroom soup; the dried mushrooms were so fragrant! For dinner, we went to the old street of the barbecue street, to Baiweiyuan Barbecue, the most famous one online, which is teppanyaki. When we asked the driver, he just smiled and didn't say anything, which seemed a bit off. When we arrived, we found that his place had the most customers among several other places, so we decided to try it. It was a disappointment. It couldn't compare to the barbecue we had on the first day. The beef wasn't tender, the tilapia skin wasn't crispy, and we didn't like the seasoning... The total taxi fare for the day was 150 yuan. Be careful when driving yourself; there are many small village roads. We went to the Menghai fabric market to digest our food. I thought it would be smaller than Xishuangbanna, but it turned out to be a huge wholesale market, with many vertical and horizontal axes.

| Discover the Real Thai Beauty. 💁🏻‍♀️ Menghai was not originally in my travel plans. However, since I came down from Jingmai Mountain, and it's so close, and I had two days of vacation left, I decided to head south and 🚗 drive to Menghai. This is an extra addition to the Yunnan Treasure Small Town series - Menghai. DAY1️⃣ Jingmai Mountain - Menghai On the road, we stumbled upon the ⛩️ Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion. You can enter for a cleaning fee of three yuan, and you'll instantly feel like you're back in Southeast Asia. Navigate directly to 🔍 Zhang Guiying's Three Kilometer Roasted Chicken Restaurant. I finally had the most authentic Menghai roasted chicken, it was so delicious! It's only thirty yuan per chicken, highly recommended. For accommodation, 🏨 go directly to the Mengbala Scenic Area. There are options for every budget, from Banyan Tree to homestays. ♨️ I finally chose the Pu Yu Hot Spring Homestay (Xishuangbanna Menghai Mengbala International Resort Branch) and selected room 201. You can soak in the hot spring on the balcony, but the disadvantage is that the hot spring water flow is small, so you need to fill it two hours in advance. In the evening, I went out for a walk. Mengbala feels like a failed villa real estate project. DAY2️⃣ Menghai - Daluo Continue to stroll around Mengbala. 🔍 Meng Huan Love Manor, free entry, with tent hotels, helicopters, and off-road motorcycles. ⚠️ There is a peacock release every day at 10:00 and 16:00, where you can see peacocks displaying their feathers. 🚗 Since we came all the way here, let's go to Daluo Town to have a look. It's an hour and a half drive. 🔍 Xishuangbanna Mengjinglai Tourist Scenic Area, the No. 1 village between China and Myanmar, became famous because of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" ten years ago. The ticket is 50 yuan, and you can take a walk around the village, where there is the 229 boundary marker. 🍱 Have lunch in Daluo Town. Yunnan people know that the best place to find authentic local food is the farmers market. I found a Dai-flavored cold dish shop, and I knew I had found the right place just by looking at the menu and the bar. The pork knuckle/chicken rice and various cold dishes were all delicious. 🔍 Daluo One Tree Forest Scenic Area, 35 yuan for the ticket + 50 yuan for the battery car, to see the China-Myanmar Friendship Golden Pagoda, the site of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Anti-Japanese War, the 220 boundary marker, and finally the One Tree Forest. To be honest, these two scenic spots are old scenic spots, and there is not much surprise, but since we came all the way here. Return trip, 🚗 go directly to Xishuangbanna, and check in to 🏨 Ji Hotel (Xishuangbanna Tropical Flower Garden Branch). When staying at Ji Hotel, you must complete ☞ self-service laundry and eat the buffet breakfast. There is a barbecue restaurant downstairs. The next morning, I went to the nearby farmers market to buy glutinous rice, glutinous corn, fried beef skin, and splashing water cakes, and went home with a lot of gains.

Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion, another national cultural relic protection unit in Menghai, was built in the 40th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1701 AD), the 1063rd year of the Dai calendar. It is said that a monk named Ting Bangjiao sent people to Myanmar and Thailand to seek experience and bring back drawings, and invited a Han craftsman from Pu'er to guide the construction of the tower. Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is located on Jingzhen Mountain. As you climb the steps, you will see statues of monks on both sides. Their faces are delicate and their expressions vary, but they all look happy and peaceful. Their lips are closed and slightly upturned, and they seem to have been re-gilded. After climbing the slope, you will see the Great Buddha Hall on the left and Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion on the right. The dark red color of the pavilion is not as dazzling as the golden Great Buddha Hall from a distance, but when you get closer, you will be amazed by its beauty. The pavilion consists of a base, a pavilion body, and an octagonal ten-story pavilion. The pavilion body has four doors, and the walls are covered with light red mud, inlaid with various colored glass, and printed with various patterns of flowers, animals, and people in gold and silver powder. The roof is layered, and the top of the tower is a rod-shaped tower brake. The brake rod is equipped with metal sheets engraved with mesh-shaped whistle eyes. When the wind blows, the whistle sounds. As a precept hall in the Theravada Buddhist architecture, Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is a place for chanting, confession, meetings, and discussions. Major affairs and religious activities are decided here. In 1988, Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion was listed as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 🗓Itinerary: Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is located in Menghai County, about an hour's drive from Xishuangbanna City, and is worth a visit.

I have been traveling in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna for more than two months. Today I plan to go back, and I placed a ride-sharing order as usual. I planned to go to Jingmai Mountain, then to Lincang, and then to Tengchong, and then continue to go up. As a result, I received an order from Mengzhe Town, and I took it because it seemed to be heading towards Jingmai Mountain. It is about 70 kilometers from Jinghong to Mengzhe Town. Half of it is on the highway, and the other half is on national and provincial roads. It is quite easy to walk. It took more than an hour to drop the passengers off. I found a place called Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion and the Lost Buddhist Kingdom nearby, all in the same place, so I walked back a few kilometers and went to check in again. There is a parking lot at the entrance, which is free but not very big. There is a Buddhist temple up a flight of stairs next to the parking lot. The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is inside the temple. It looks pretty good and seems very old. There are children taking classes in the Buddhist temple. I don’t know what they are chanting, but the monks chant a sentence and the children follow. I watch for a while and get a feel for what Buddhism is all about. After visiting the Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion, we were ready to continue to Jingmai Mountain, but found that it was a bit far and would take another two or three hours. However, we saw that the Mengjinglai Scenic Area, the first village between China and Myanmar, was not far away and could be reached in an hour, so we drove to Mengjinglai. The road is quite easy to walk on, most of it is downhill, and we arrived quickly. We arrived at the gate at 6pm and found a free parking lot right at the door. I will go in and visit tomorrow. There is only a river between here and Myanmar, and a few kilometers away is the Daluo Port on the China-Myanmar border. There aren't many people parking here at night, but there are a few Sichuan-brand cars with their lights on and people chatting loudly, it's so noisy, just like being in a teahouse!

Menghai County is about an hour's drive from Jinghong. The Jingzhen Mountain is located 14 km west of the county, with National Highway 214 passing by. There are three national protected sites along the highway. The representative Dai architecture you see in most Dai-style parks or scenic areas today can be found in their original form here. Manhe Temple I didn't expect it to be so photogenic. Located in Menghai County, the temple is aesthetically pleasing from the moment you enter. The colors are rich and unique, and it feels like you're in Thailand! 2. Manlei Thousand Buddha Top I was already impressed when I took photos outside. The giant round dome and the golden exterior are very photogenic, but I didn't expect the three-story dome inside to have a thousand Buddha top. I was shocked! Manlei is not yet fully built, so there are few people. I guess there will be more tourists when it's completed, so come and take photos now. 3. Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion Built in the Kangxi period to commemorate Sakyamuni, I thought the octagonal pavilion was photogenic, but the temple next to it is even more stunning. 4. Nuogan Ancient Village If you like ancient villages, you can visit the surrounding Jingshan Mountain. It takes 2.5 hours to drive from Menghai to Nuoyu Ancient Village, a pristine Dai village. It's a truly niche destination!

Address, Jingdai Buddhist Temple in Jingzhen Village, Mengzhe Township, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is an important building of the central Buddhist temple in Jingzhen, located on the top of a circular hill next to Jingzhen Village, close to the Liusha River. The pavilion is octagonal in shape, with a brick and wood structure, and is about 20 meters high, consisting of a base, pavilion body, and spire. It is said that the pavilion was built according to the style of the 'Kazhonghan' golden shawl cap of Buddha Sakyamuni, exclusively for the use of high monks to recite scriptures. The pavilion has 8 angles, representing the 8 'Mahatma' (high monks) around the Buddha; the 4 doors on the pavilion facing the southeast and northwest indicate that the followers should spread the thoughts of Buddhism in all directions. On January 13, 1988, the Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion was announced by the State Council as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units. This trip departs from Xishuangbanna, self-driving on National Highway 214 to Dali, the first attraction. 🌈Attraction with free parking, no admission fee, a sanitation fee of 10 yuan per person is charged.

To avoid the cold, I flew from the north to the south to celebrate the New Year in warmth, arriving at Jingzhen Village, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan. The Jingzhen Octagonal Pagoda is a must-visit spot‼️ The pagoda is so exquisitely made that it was listed as a third batch 'national treasure' in 1988. The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion belongs to the Theravada Buddhism architecture and serves as a Precept Hall, where monks chant scriptures, repent, hold meetings, and discuss major affairs and religious activities. The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is just an independent building within the Jingzhen Buddhist temple complex, which consists of the main hall, drum tower, monks' quarters, precept hall, pagoda, and mountain gate. 🌈Highlights: ✅It is said that this is the place where Buddha Sakyamuni transformed a lake into a dam, and it is also the setting for the Dai narrative epic 'The Gourd Letter'. ✅The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion was first built in the 40th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1701 AD), the 1063rd year of the Dai calendar, and is one of the three major ancient Theravada Buddhist buildings in the Banna region. It is said that the octagonal pavilion was built by Buddhists to commemorate Buddha Sakyamuni, imitating the gold-threaded cap 'Kazhonghan' he wore. ✅The Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion is octagonal in shape, 15.42 meters high, and consists of a base, body, and top. The base is a folded-corner sub-shaped brick Sumi base, the pavilion is a wooden structure, and the pavilion roof is a conical spire with flat tiles. Inside and outside the pavilion, there are various patterns of flowers, animals, and figures, with unique and exquisite designs, a crystallization of the joint labor of the Dai and Han peoples. 💰Purse: Sanitation fee 5 yuan

It has no name, a forgotten corner, now remembered again. Located in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, it is said to be an unfinished scenic spot with no name and cannot be directly navigated. We navigated to the Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion, came out after the tour, entered the village along the rightmost village road, and arrived when we left the village. After entering, you will find it is very large, the first thing that catches your eye are two huge reclining Buddha statues. Further up the hundred-step staircase, there is a dilapidated white temple, the front of which is full of half-human-high withered grass, and the ruined ruins have a kind of broken beauty. The white temple has no stairs, but there are two pieces of wood there, perhaps left by the explorers before us. We climbed up the wood and passed through the temple. There is another white temple behind, separated by a huge piece of farmland in the middle, too far away for us to go. Surrounding are patches of paddy fields, with giant lotus sculptures and Buddha's hands scattered in the fields. On the other side of the field are houses, and a few small temples scattered on several small hills. There is a sense of life beyond the ruins, which is very interesting. Lovely wildflowers embellish the bitterly cold abandoned temple, this kind of unyielding perseverance attracts me, the compatibility of strength and fragility, the natural environment that cannot be relaxed for a moment is full of charm.
