Parking was reasonable and inexpensive, with staff to guide you, and there was no traffic congestion. The Golden Pagoda was eye-catching; standing on the observation deck offered a panoramic view of Mangshi, and taking photos with the Sky Mirror (referring to the pagoda's reflection in the sky) was truly spectacular.

The "Tree-wrapped Pagoda" is located in the middle of the pedestrian street in Mangshi. It is a Dai-style pagoda, originally named "Iron City Pagoda". Because it was built in the former Jielie Village, it is called "Guangmu Jielie" in Dai language, which means "Iron City Pagoda". The pagoda was built in the mid-18th century during the tenure of Fang Zuofan, the 15th Tusi of Mangshi (1741-1770) to commemorate a victorious war. The "Iron City Pagoda" is a brick and stone structure with an octagonal base and a beaded cone body, about ten meters high. Later, Jielie Village was destroyed in the war, and the residents fled and did not return, leaving the pagoda unattended. As cracks appeared in the pagoda body over time, dust gradually accumulated in the wind. A banyan seed was brought to the crack of the pagoda by the wind or a bird, and the spring rain watered it, and the seed took root and sprouted. About a hundred years ago, a banyan tree grew in the cracks of the tower. After several storms, the tangled roots gradually wrapped around the tower, forming the current wonder of "tree wrapped tower". The ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree. Now the tree on the top of the tower is more than 30 meters high, and the canopy covers nearly 1,000 square meters. The tower wraps the tree, and the tree wraps the tower, forming a strong community. The "tree wrapped tower" is regarded as a "love tower" by the Dai people. The thick trunk tightly wraps the tower body, and the tree wall falls like a waterfall, bathing the tower base. The tree wraps the tower, and the tower embraces the tree, interdependent and complementing each other, forming a unique tree wrapped tower wonder, which is famous in western Yunnan and Southeast Asia.

The terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau determines the thrilling high speed here, but the one-hour drive from Mangshi to Ruili is very flat and smooth, with flowers all the way to welcome every guest. When you come to the border, how can you not take a look at the port? It is close to Myanmar, so you naturally want to take a look at the jade. Then you are in the right place. Unlike the huge jade market in Ruili City, the things in the jewelry store here are really for ordinary people to see, and the shopkeepers' offers will not immediately reject you. As long as you do your homework in advance, I believe you will find the jade that suits you. You must remember to know yourself, see things clearly, avoid greed, and have a peaceful mentality. The port is naturally a place for exchanges between the two countries. It is crowded with people. You can see Burmese people all over the ground. They look no different from Indians. They are all busy and have no time to look around. You can also go around the Sino-Myanmar market, but I believe most of the things inside are unfamiliar. Just take a look. Anyway, there will be a big obstacle to language communication. You might as well try their snacks and take a few sneak shots. There are other ports in Ruili. Jiegao Port should be the largest one with the most convenient transportation. If you are interested, especially jadeite, you may come a few times, take a look, and then make a decision until you are satisfied.
