I embarked on a journey of exotic charm in Mang City

1. The Mang City Golden Pagoda (Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda) is open until 10 pm, with an admission fee of 40 yuan. The pagoda is located on a mountain (you can ride a small electric scooter to the foot of the mountain, then walk 1 kilometer uphill). It can also be seen from some places at the foot of the mountain. I went there at night, and the close-up view at night is very beautiful. The inside of the pagoda is hollow, housing a large Buddhist hall. There is also an observation deck in the scenic area where you can see the cityscape. The estimated visiting time is about 30 minutes. 2. The Mang City Silver Pagoda (Menghuan Silver Pagoda) is very close to the Golden Pagoda, with an admission fee of 40 yuan. I visited during the day, and after entering, you have to climb a bit to get there. You cannot enter the Silver Pagoda, but you can see the Golden Pagoda while climbing the Silver Pagoda. If you don't want to go inside the Golden Pagoda, visiting the Silver Pagoda is also an option. Climbing the Silver Pagoda takes about 1 hour of visiting time. 3. Peacock Lake is very close to the foot of the Golden and Silver Pagoda mountains and is a local walking trail for exercise. It's a nice place to take a leisurely stroll if you have the time. 4. Bodhi Temple is accessible by a small electric scooter in the city, and it also houses a Buddhist hall. It's a nice spot to visit while wandering around the city, and there was no admission fee when I entered. 5. The Dai Minority Ancient Town is a commercial pedestrian street with an ethnic minority style. Going there in the evening to browse the night market, eat from a hot pot, and take a walk is a good choice. 6. Shubao Pagoda is a distinctive pagoda located in the city. The pagoda is inside a tree, and you can reach it by taking a walk during the day. 7. Mengbana Xi Rare Garden has an admission fee of 40 yuan. Inside, there are mostly bamboo forests to see, and the main attraction is to learn about some of the local precious timbers (silicified wood). The visit is quite enjoyable. There are also many peacocks raised inside, and you can get close to them (when I visited, the male peacocks were frantically displaying their feathers, which was very beautiful). The visiting time inside is about 1.5 hours. 8. Peacock Valley Forest Park is 15 kilometers away from the city by car. I drove there myself. The admission fee plus shuttle bus is 98 yuan per person, with a package ticket of 138 yuan (including all the chargeable attractions inside and the shuttle bus). If you don't buy the package ticket, some attractions inside require an additional fee: jungle leap is 20 yuan, glass tower is 10 yuan, and glass walkway is 30 yuan (you can bargain during the off-season). The Peacock Garden and Hundred Birds Garden do not require extra money. There are fixed-time peacock flying performances, and I watched the 12:30 show. There are also other animals to see, and a highlight is seeing the white peacocks. You can take close-up photos with the peacocks in the Peacock Garden. The visiting time is about 2-3 hours.

Jinggu Tree-wrapped Pagoda

The Mengwo Buddhist Temple Twin Pagoda, commonly known as the Tree-wrapped Pagoda and Pagoda-wrapped Tree, was initially built by Wei Yuan Tuguan Renhan Chen during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is a Buddhist pagoda of the Southern Transmission, with a square base, each side 4 meters long, made of red sandstone in the form of a multi-layered lotus. The pagoda body is made of green bricks in the shape of a gourd. The Tree-wrapped Pagoda is 10.7 meters high, and the pagoda has been wrapped by a Bodhi tree, with the tree crown about 25 meters high. The Pagoda-wrapped Tree is 7.2 meters high, and the Bodhi tree on the top of the pagoda is about 20 meters high. The bodies of the twin pagodas are carved with Buddhist stories, folk tales, and stone carvings of animals, plants, and flowers. It is a precious material for studying the religion, culture, and history of the Dai people, and has high historical and artistic value.

A spectacle of man-made and natural wonders

There is a tree-wrapped tower in Mangshi that is worth seeing. This tower, originally named Tiecheng Tower, was built by the 17th Tusi of Mangshi, Fang Yu, to commemorate a victory in a war, about two hundred years ago. Tiecheng Tower is a brick and stone tower, about ten meters high, octagonal in shape, with Buddha statues standing in the niches, not much different from the stone towers we often see. What's amazing is that after a long time of wind and sun, cracks appeared in the brick tower. And a banyan tree seed, by chance, was brought to the tower crack by the wind or a bird. Under the nourishment of spring rain, the tenacious seed sprouted and grew into a towering tree. So the ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree, forming the spectacle of the tree-wrapped tower. It is said that walking around the tower clockwise three times will bring good luck. Address: 100 meters west of the intersection of Yonghan Street and Baobo Road, Mangshi, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Opening hours: all day Admission: free
