SIENNA MILES

Is this really not a mini Thailand?

Coming to Mang City, of course, you have to visit the iconic 'Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda'! - Many people are discussing whether to buy a ticket to go inside, after all, the golden and silver pagodas are adjacent, but you have to buy separate tickets for each. It really depends on personal preference. Outside the pagoda: Taking photos is also very beautiful and photogenic. Inside the pagoda: It's not very big and you can finish walking around quickly, but if you look closely, there are many interesting places, and you can even listen to the explanations of other people's guides, haha. - If you want to finish visiting 'Golden Pagoda + Silver Pagoda + Taking Portrait Photos' in one day, and time is limited, you can choose to take photos of the exterior of the golden pagoda, and then buy a ticket for the silver pagoda, which is bigger and better for taking portrait photos! Trust me‼️ - 📷Photo spots: 📍Big Golden Pagoda exterior: At the end of the road outside the pagoda shops, you can capture the complete Big Golden Pagoda, even if there are many people, they won't block the view 📍Monk statues: Next to the golden dragon at the outside of the pagoda, there are monk statues lined up with a devout look 📍Golden Rooster A Luan: Facing the urban area of Mang City, calling for the light in the early morning, it is said to be the incarnation of Siddhartha Gautama, and the noon sunlight shines right on the head of the golden rooster 📍Golden Dragon: The golden dragons that wind down the steps on both sides of the golden pagoda 📍Fortune Elephant: Guarding next to the south gate inside the golden pagoda 📍Hercules: The true · eight-pack abs · god, at the entrance of the pagoda, forgot which direction it was, haha 📍Reclining Buddha: Pray for an offer to the Reclining Buddha, just follow half a circle around the pagoda to see it 🙏Walk clockwise around the pagoda three times, and leave with a sense of fulfillment - 🏠Dai ethnic portrait: There are many travel photography and Dai ethnic costume rental shops along the street, you can ask around and compare. It is recommended to rent clothes yourself, so after taking photos of the golden pagoda, you can go to take photos of the silver pagoda - 🥑Freshly squeezed juice: The fruit freshly squeezed at the food street at the entrance of the scenic area is not bad, 15 yuan per cup of pure juice🍹, worth a try - ☕️Coffee: There is a water bar at the viewing platform in the scenic area, it's quite novel to have coffee in a temple, and the coffee packaging is printed with Mang City, suitable for checking in and taking photos - 📝Tips: 1⃣️Dress modestly, skirt length should cover the knees 2⃣️Do not be noisy and playful, you need to take off your shoes and hat when entering the pagoda 4⃣️Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection! (Important things said three times) - 📍Location: Menghuan Big Golden Pagoda 🎫Ticket: 40 yuan ⏰Opening hours: 8 am - 10 pm ⏳Duration of visit: 1 hour (Taking Dai ethnic portraits will take an afternoon) 🚗Transportation: Take a taxi during the off-season, it's still tiring to walk up to the top of the mountain. During the peak season, take a taxi to the foot of the mountain and walk up, because it will be so congested that you can't move at all, and you still have to walk up.
