I thought Xishuangbanna was beautiful enough, until I went to Mangshi.

☀️ I'm giving Mangshi a shout-out! 👏🏻 Towering palm trees, flocks of peacocks—buy a cup of Paoluda (a local drink), sit by the roadside for an afternoon, even the wind smells of freedom. 📍 Location: Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province 🚉 How to get there: Mangshi has an airport; some cities offer direct flights. If you're taking the high-speed rail, go to Baoshan first, then transfer to a bus. Recommended Itinerary: Day 1: Tuanjie Street—Bodhi Temple—Tree-Embraced Pagoda—Meng Huan Silver Pagoda—Best Food Street Day 2: Lone Tree Forest—Peacock Valley Forest Park—Dai Ancient Town 🌴 Recommended Activities: 1⃣ Mangshi Food Paradise These are the must-try restaurants in Mangshi! 🍜 Best Food City: The chicken rice alone will leave you stuffed—it's absolutely delicious! 🍲 Mangshi Sa Pie Shop: Authentic Dai-style Sa Pie, rich and flavorful dipping sauce, one bite is addictive! 🍢 Jinta Night Market: BBQ with ice-cold beer, a must-have for late-night snacks! 2⃣ Iconic Buildings to Visit 🔥 Meng Huan Golden Pagoda: Perfect for photos, a must-visit! 🏯 Mengbanaxi Rare Plant Garden: A treasure trove of rare plants, a feast for the eyes! 3⃣ Experience Ethnic Customs ⛩️ Meng Huan Silver Pagoda: Experience silver jewelry making and create your own unique piece! 🕌️ Mangshi Ethnic Unity Square: A wonderful experience of multi-ethnic cultural integration! 🎫 Admission Fees: Best Food City is free; other attractions have different ticket prices. 📝 Travel Tips: ✔️ We recommend wearing comfortable flat shoes, as the sightseeing and food tour can be tiring on your feet! ✔️ Be sure to get up early to experience the local Dai breakfast; you'll really regret missing it! ✔️ Remember to wear sunscreen and bring mosquito repellent, as there are many mosquitoes in tropical areas. ✔️ If you have enough space in your suitcase, you can bring back some tea or silver jewelry as gifts for relatives and friends.
