It's cheap to take a taxi. The parking lot is not big, but there are not many people coming. It's also convenient to take a taxi down the mountain at night. There are cars near the foot of the mountain. I saw a blogger climbing up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. There is a parking lot at the entrance. There is a relatively short commercial street at the entrance, with food and drinks, and special clothing rental. You can buy a princess dress for 30-40 at the foot of the mountain, and rent it here for 50. There are also many travel photographers. The combined ticket I bought is quite cost-effective. Half-price tickets are 20 for more than 60, and free tickets are available for more than 70. On sunny days, the whole tower is golden and very photogenic. At the entrance, I heard the tour guide say that you have to turn the tower counterclockwise to respect religious beliefs. Unfortunately, the viewing platform is blocked, which affects the view. The tower is quite spectacular when you enter. You have to take off your shoes and remember which door you entered.
My experience is: worth it! After all, this is one of the iconic attractions in Mangshi🤩
But between the Golden Pagoda and the Silver Pagoda, I prefer the Silver Pagoda
First of all, the Golden Pagoda is more inclined to the local Buddhist culture
You can feel the exotic style of the Golden Pagoda by standing at the door
And the Silver Pagoda is more suitable for tourists to take pictures and commemorate

The scenic spots of Yizhai are about 10 kilometers away from Ruili City. It is located next to the famous border monument 71 of China-Myanmar. It is a typical geographical wonder of "one village and two countries". The border line divides a Yi village in two, the Chinese side is called Yinjing, and the Myanmar side is called Mangxiu.
The environment is clean and the service attitude is good. This is a small town on the border between China and Myanmar. The two peoples live friendly and have a long history. There are Burmese translations on the ground where you walk here, which is easy to understand and looks quite interesting. The Jade Bridge is a walk away, with auspicious good wishes.

Transportation parking: There are not many parking spaces in the parking lot at the door, and there are not many people who can’t pass by. We took a taxi. It was very convenient to arrive in single digits. When we left, the master who came in to pick up was stopped and charged 5 yuan for parking. The master immediately got angry. Come in and pick up the individual and charge the last line. The main line here Looking at the wood and the stone, but there is a flower road that is so beautiful. When I walked to the innermost side, I found it when I passed a tree door. When I took pictures, I also met the peacock mother with a baby. It was so cute. The baby has been sticking to the hemp, really don’t be too cute to play suggestions: you can slowly take pictures and make movies, there are Thai buildings, bamboo forests, and lotus flowers, although there are not many ancient trees, there are many stone tables and stools under the tree, all of which are broken by stone. Very comfortable, there are free-range peacocks and chickens everywhere. It’s a pity that I didn’t encounter the opening screen today. It’s a pity that there is a jade seller in the middle of the golden pagoda on the top of the mountain. There is a huge wooden fossil. There are many huge original stones along the way. There is free hot water at the door. Unfortunately, there is no cold, but there is a store next to it that has drinks and some snacks and fruits. There is also a store in the middle. The fruits are freshly placed, fresh, good juice, not expensive, very cost-effective.
Bana Xizhenqi Garden stands as the "most in the country": 1. **Ancient tree famous wood**: more than 500 100-year-old tree transplants have a survival rate of 96%, setting a record in Chinese garden history; 2. **Geological wonder**: more than 1,000 tons of tree-based jade (silica-based wood) open-air display, containing hundreds of millions of years of tree fossils and rare jade original stone, The largest in the country; 3. **Root carving art**: large root carvings such as the millennium ebony wood "shuanglong holding column", red bean fir long table, strange shape, rare in China; 4. **Ecological integration**: fusion of rare plants such as oysters, millennia purple myrtle and other rare cultural landmarks (such as Zhou Enlai Memorial Pavilion), both scientific research and popular science value. The park balances nature protection and exhibition with the concept of "minimum intervention", and the tree-huayu is designed as architectural columns and emerald paving floors, highlighting the wonders of resource enrichment. As a ecological specimen library in southwest Fujian, its original site preservation and transplant technology has industry reference significance.

It's a beautiful place. If you like taking photos, you must go in and experience it. There are many beautiful women wearing ethnic costumes taking photos. Although they are sweating profusely in the hot summer, they are still very happy and enjoying it.
I like this place very much. The environment is elegant and special, and it is quiet. It gives people a holy feeling. I was reluctant to leave. There were many people queuing up to take pictures. Every angle looks good, and we took a lot of photos.

The Murray Rainforest Scenic Area is suitable for self-driving tours. Walking slowly is enough for an hour. There are several small waterfalls along the way. It is very relaxing to listen to the stream. This is definitely a good place to relax.
The Murray rainforest is an encyclopedia of plants. A beautiful and magical place, where there is no cold in winter and no heat in summer, is a rare subtropical treasure. It is called the tropical rainforest of the "world's wonderland". It is a place where the trees and stones are steep, the leaves are green, the flowers are blooming, the insects and birds are calling one after another, and the whole rainforest is full of vitality.

Mangshi Dai Ancient Town: A paradise of relaxation that will teach you how to be a new person in minutes!
Who says that ancient towns are all the same? Mangshi Dai Ancient Town is a bucket of cold water poured into your aesthetic fatigue!
Starlight understands romance better than neon: When night falls, the golden top of the pagoda competes with the stars in the sky, and the pious feeling of a pagoda every three steps beats the artificial night view of the city! Any photo you take is a wallpaper with holy light.
Dai costume experience, wrapped in sunset color: rent a bright Dai costume, shuttle through the alleys full of paper umbrellas and rattan lanterns, silver bells jingle, you are the protagonist of the walking exotic style pictorial!
"Sour and spicy" disco on the tip of the tongue: the coconut fragrance of Pao Lu Da collides with the sourness of Sa Pi, the boldness of hand-held rice mixed with the burnt fragrance of roasted beef jerky... The flames in the hands of the night market stall owners are more blazing than the DJs in the bar! 🥵🔥
Soul SPA: Sit under the Bodhi tree and listen to the wind chimes, watch the silversmiths jingle and knock on the time... Anxiety? There is no such thing here.
The dusk is all around, the heat wave is gradually dissipating, and the ancient town of Yi nationality full of ethnic customs is filled with the afterglow of the sunset, lighting up the light of the sun, and in the midst of the crowd, the night cultural life of Mangshi slowly kicks off. Welcome to the ancient town of Yi nationality, where you can satisfy your one-stop service for eating, lodging, transportation and playing!

There are more than 20 pools, diverse types, good service, a lot more people during the Spring Festival holiday, but the organization is still orderly, the facilities are complete, it is a good hot spring experience. There are a lot of people eating and dining, and you can queue up a little later to find seats. Legs and feet are inconvenient or carefully considered, the pool is layer by layer, can not avoid the steps up and down, feel from the bottom restaurant to the upper dressing room, 7 or 8 stairs need to climb.
The original positioning was very high-end and the initial design was not bad. After a few years of operation, the service and operation were a bit awkward. The hot spring resources are very good, the package is a bit unable to keep up, but overall it is still the old four after Bailian, Angsana, and Bagu.

The port is spectacular, long live the motherland, this is one of the attractions that every tourist who comes to Ruili must punch in. Opposite the port is Myanmar. You can drive directly to the port square. There is free parking on the roadside, and there are many places to visit around.
Sister Gao Port is the main port of Ruili China-Myanmar customs clearance, the concentrated area of border trade business. There are many trade cities selling jade and overseas goods, as well as "national gate", "world end" and "320 national road stop point" for tourists to check in.

The scenery of Heihe Laopo is very beautiful and it is worth going. Before leaving, I was worried that it would be unsafe to drive alone. The driver Xiao Zhang was very enthusiastic. The road from the city to the scenic area is difficult to drive. Master Xiao Zhang drove steadily. Seeing that I was alone, he accompanied me to climb for a long time. He took good care of me all the way and picked some unfamiliar mushrooms to explain some local knowledge to me. I highly recommend it
The scenery of Heihe Laopo should be more beautiful in summer. I was attracted by other people's photos before, but when I went there in early March, most of the grass was still yellow. But as a way of hiking, it is still worth a visit. The round-trip hiking time is about 4 hours. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains. The visual effect is very good. On one side of Heihe Laopo is an alpine meadow, and cattle and sheep can be seen when the wind blows the grass low. On the other side is a primeval forest, just like entering the magical world of Stranger Things, but it requires physical strength.

I was amazed at the magic of nature, which left such a beautiful scenery. The overall temperature in Mangshi is relatively high, but it is very cool when you walk into the Xianfo Cave, as if you are not in Mangshi. The scenic area is very beautiful, but the road from the city to the Xianfo Cave is not easy to walk.
The attraction itself was unexpectedly better than expected.
There were many steps to walk up and down, but it was still very beautiful.
It was not easy to get a taxi back to the city center. Finally, I asked the lady at the stall at the door for the driver's phone number and returned to Mangshi smoothly.
