Menghuan Great Silver Pagoda | Landmark of Mang City, experience the Southeast Asian vibe without leaving the country

Menghuan Great Silver Pagoda, one of the landmarks of Mang City, is a newly built Theravada Buddhist stupa with a silver-white base, shining brightly. Without leaving the country, you can also enjoy the Southeast Asian atmosphere. The main pagoda of the Great Silver Pagoda was built in 2010, with a height of 66 meters and a diameter of 46 meters. The body of the pagoda is composed of 80 smaller pagodas, with the first layer consisting of 12 small pagodas, symbolizing the twelve links of dependent origination. The decorations on the pagoda body and the platform spire are all hand-carved by craftsmen using materials such as Dai silver and Du silver, with each spire and each piece of decoration embodying the exquisite skills and devout faith of the Dai artisans. In the areas where the Dai people live, the Great Silver Pagoda is known as the building with the most numbers and the richest types, and it is also the inheritance of the local ethnic minority culture. The main attractions include the Entrance to the Great Thousand Worlds, Handprint Good Affinity Area, Enlightenment Square, Silver Wheel Square, and Silver Pagoda Flower Language area. Here, whether you are walking through the pagodas with hands clasped or sitting quietly on the corridor, your heart will find a sense of peace. 🌈Highlights: ✅Mirror of the Sky: On the west side of the silver pagoda, there is a special spot where the blue sky and the silver pagoda create a stunning reflection, just like the 'Mirror of the Sky'. ✅Above the Moon: Next to the Mirror of the Sky, there is a crescent moon where you can sit or lie down on the 'moon', with the Menghuan Great Silver Pagoda in the background. ✅Sign Language Area: In the traditional culture of the Dai people, 'hand gestures' are used to convey meanings. There are 24 hand gestures here, each representing a different meaning. You can imitate them to take many popular photos. 🎫Ticket: 40 yuan, online price 38 yuan 🚗Transportation: Take bus routes 13, 1, and 3 temporary combined line, or drive or take a taxi ❤️Tips: 1️⃣If you want to capture the sky scene, it's best to come in the afternoon to avoid the effects of backlighting; 2️⃣It is recommended to wear brightly colored clothes to contrast with the silver pagoda, avoid wearing white, otherwise, you will blend in with the pagoda background; 3️⃣Beautiful ladies can rent a set of Dai ethnic clothing for more beautiful photos.
