Our last stop in Xishuangbanna was the famous Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple. The name alone gives you a sense of its status, and seeing it in person was even more impressive. During our trip, we saw many Theravada Buddhist temples and pagodas, including some national protected units. However, standing in front of the Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple, we were still shocked. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in China. The Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple is said to have been built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,300 years. Since then, it has been the absolute center of Theravada Buddhism in Xishuangbanna and even Yunnan. Even in Southeast Asia, it has a high status and is very popular. The General Buddhist Temple covers a large area, with large gardens and lawns in the tropical rainforest. The red wall and golden pagoda of the Buddhist temple are dotted in the green, with strong color contrast and strong beauty, giving people the ultimate visual enjoyment. The architectural details and sculpture details are also very exquisite, fully reflecting the lofty status of Buddhism in the hearts of the locals. Even if we are not religious, we can't help but marvel at this spectacular Buddhist temple. The Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple is our last stop in Jinghong and Xishuangbanna Prefecture. After visiting here, we went to enjoy a lunch mainly of Dai-style barbecue. Then, we moved on to our next destination - Honghe Prefecture.

How can you travel to Xishuangbanna without visiting the General Buddhist Temple? The General Buddhist Temple is located inside Manting Park, and you can buy park tickets on various platforms. After walking around Manting Park, I found that other sceneries were not that attractive, especially the buildings at the entrance of the park. There were too many people taking photos, making it impossible to capture grand scenes. Therefore, the photos taken at the General Buddhist Temple are definitely worth it. First, the side stairs of the main hall right behind the Buddha statue in the General Buddhist Temple square. Here, pay attention. P3 was taken from the side stairs of the main entrance. Because of the green leaves, it has a bit of a Southeast Asian feel. However, if you, like me, prefer to highlight the grandeur of the architecture, please go directly to the back door of the main hall to take photos. The scenery is clean and neat, and it highlights the beauty of the architecture to the extreme. Please see p1. Of course, the halls on both sides of the main hall are also beautiful, as shown in p2. Dress code: Ladies, please do not wear off-shoulder or short clothes, as the guard at the entrance will not let you in. It would be too uneconomical to buy or rent a jacket from the small shops at the entrance. Additionally, because the colors of the buildings are very bright, it is recommended that you choose more plain colors to better highlight yourself. Personally, I think there is no need to wear Dai costumes to take photos in Xishuangbanna, as it is too common. Your own clothes would be more comfortable, but this still depends on personal preference.

The Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple has a history of over 1400 years. It is said that the General Buddhist Temple was built by two Theravada Buddhist monks who came from Myanmar to spread Buddhism. It is the center of pilgrimage for followers of Buddhism in Xishuangbanna (Theravada Buddhism), and it was the sacred place for the highest rulers of ancient Xishuangbanna, called Chao Phien (literally 'Lord of the Land'), and the Tusi chieftains to worship. The General Buddhist Temple is near Manting Park. Upon exiting Manting Park, you can directly enter the General Buddhist Temple. The temples within the General Buddhist Temple are resplendent with gold and glitter, featuring a Thai style, with grand architecture and exquisitely carved beams and columns. As soon as you step into the temple, you are stunned by the lifelike and splendid Buddha statues. Entering the main hall is still magnificent, and you are required to remove your shoes. Girls must kneel barefoot to show devotion and respect. Whether it is the architectural style or the historical status, the General Buddhist Temple is a spot you cannot miss for checking in.

Zongfo Temple in Xishuangbanna is located next to Manting Park in Jinghong City. According to historical records, over a thousand years ago, the Mengle Palace of Xishuangbanna was built near the present-day Yunjinghong Street Office Manduo Village in the Mangge Community. At that time, this area was an important political district of Xishuangbanna. As for the temples, this region had several, including Wazai, Wazhangpei, Walongmeng, and Wazhuangde temples. Due to wars, Wazai, Wazhangpei, and Walongmeng temples were relocated, leaving only the Wazhuangde Temple to serve the Buddhist followers north of the Jinghong River for a long time, until the Dai villages north of the Jinghong River built their own temples, leading to the gradual decline of Wazhuangde Temple. The site still retains the stone bases of the pillars of the Wazhuangde Temple's main hall. Wazhuangde Temple was one of the important temples for the Dai Le followers in Xishuangbanna, built for the devout Buddhists to worship the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and to pray for the protection of the Buddha's teachings for the people within its jurisdiction, seeking peace in the world and blessings for the people. It is currently open to the public for free, and those interested are welcome to visit.
