Mengle Great Buddha Temple is located in the suburbs of Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, and is built according to the national 4A-level scenic spot standards. The Great Buddha Temple was reconstructed on the original site of the ancient Dai dynasty's royal temple 'Jingpiao Buddha Temple', which was built by a Dai king named Bolong in memory of his deceased queen, Nanshaweibian. The Great Buddha Temple was destroyed in a war in the Buddhist year 2883 (which is 1848 AD, during the Qing dynasty's Xianfeng era), and it has been 169 years since then. The current Great Buddha Temple began reconstruction in 2005, and a large-scale land consecration ceremony was held on March 9 of the same year. On May 9, 2005, a grand foundation laying and consecration ceremony for the main hall was held. During the construction of the main hall, a large number of silver coins, silver boxes, and Buddhist ritual items were excavated. The Great Buddha Temple is built against the mountain with a drop of 122.8 meters, in the shape of a seated Buddha, which is unique both domestically and internationally. The temple takes the life of Buddha Sakyamuni and the activities of the temple as the main line, ingeniously integrated into the landscape and architectural complex, fully displaying the history and traditional culture of Theravada Buddhism. The Great Buddha Temple is famous for its magnificent Buddha statues and unique architectural style, attracting tourists and believers from all over the world to visit and worship. We took a taxi from the hotel to Mengle Great Buddha Temple, entered the main gate, and first took a sightseeing car up the mountain (you can also walk up 6000 steps). There is also a charged glass platform on the mountain for sightseeing and taking photos. After that, we walked down the steps and then participated in the water-splashing activity and peacock release (make sure to know the activity times in advance). The visiting time is about 3 hours.

🔱 The Mengle Great Buddha Temple was the royal temple of the ancient Chen Dynasty, with the Great Golden Pagoda at the top of the mountain. From here, you can see the cityscape of Jinghong, and it's super easy to take great photos❕ 🔱【Attraction】The architecture here is very Southeast Asian, with many details that are photogenic. If you observe carefully, you'll find that many designs are very exquisite. Take an electric cart up to the top, and there are performances in the central courtyard of the plaza. 🔱 I was immediately shocked by the sculptures in front of the Mengle Great Buddha Temple. The glittering giant Buddha statue required many photos of the temple's architecture, which is especially detailed 🌳Climate: Tropical monsoon climate 🌳Best seasons to visit: January to December, suitable for all seasons 🕐Opening hours: All year round, 08:00-18:00 (last entry at 17:30) 📍Attraction: Mengle Cultural Tourism Area Great Buddha Temple in Xishuangbanna 📍 Address: No. 2, 4th Road, Top of Mengle Avenue, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province 📝Tour Strategies 1️⃣There is a sightseeing car within the attraction, with more than three thousand steps. There are two ways to go: walking or by car. Those who like to exercise can consider walking. 2️⃣We took the car to the top of the mountain first, then walked down the stairs to return. The route is Great Buddha Temple - Viewing Platform - Great Golden Hall - Water Splashing Square and back. There are performance activities and water splashing activities at the Water Splashing Square. 3️⃣Peacock release (weather permitting) 📷Photography Strategies In front of the main hall's lotus pond, the temple corridors, and under the Bodhi tree are all great spots for photos～ 1️⃣The viewing platform overlooks Jinghong City, which is relatively easy to photograph, while avoiding the things below the mountaintop and the railings. 2️⃣The Great Golden Hall is splendid, and every corner is photogenic. It's better to take photos outside the door and in the corridors. When I posted on social media, people thought I went to Thailand. 3️⃣There are green dragons on both sides of the steps, giving a Southeast Asian vibe. 1. When taking photos, try to shoot from a low angle to avoid crowds in the frame. 2. Participating in the water splashing activities at the Water Splashing Square is fun, be sure to rent a costume or bring your own Dai ethnic costume to blend into the scene (light-colored clothes look good).
