The Meng Huan Grand Golden Pagoda is located in Mangshi, Dehong Prefecture. Built in the style of a South Asian Dai royal palace, it is rich in ethnic cultural connotations. Bathed in sunlight, it is enveloped in golden light, exuding an air of mystery.
The parking lot at the Shwedagon Pagoda is chaotic; there were no parking spaces left before 10 a.m., so I had to turn around and park on the side of the road. The Shwedagon Pagoda is quite beautiful, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of Mangshi from inside. I recommend going early, as it gets very hot at midday.

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.

Located east of Mangshi City, the Dai Ancient Town is modeled after the palace of the ancient Dai chieftain. It features pagodas and temples, creating a magnificent atmosphere filled with rich Dai ethnic customs. Intangible cultural heritage workshops and local delicacies are found throughout the town, attracting many tourists.
A Nighttime Stroll Through Mangshi Dai Ethnic Town: Half Fireworks, Half Buddhist Kingdom
As car headlights pierce the night in Mangshi, Dehong Prefecture, a gilded archway with upturned eaves suddenly comes into view—the night in this Dai ethnic town glows.
Just past the archway, the aroma of the food street wafts over: the sour and spicy flavors of "sa pie" mingled with the sweet fragrance of "pao lu da," roasted pork skin sizzles on charcoal, and women in sarongs pound chicken feet with a resounding pounding. Copper pots for Burmese milk tea flasks line the roadside carts, and mangoes piled higher than bowls are piled on top of ice jelly—even the evening breeze carries the joy of "carb freedom."
But around a bend, the sweet aroma in the wind suddenly mingles with the soft tinkling of Buddhist bells.
By day, the gilded pagodas are bathed in a warm yellow hue at dusk, their spires piercing the clouds like cradling a half-moon. The copper bells on the eaves sway in the wind, their intricate carvings in the play of light and shadow imbued with the gentle grace of Theravada Buddhism. Even the Dai houses lining the streets are nestled among flowers: bougainvillea climbs the wooden fences, and hanging chairs sway on the terraces, as if the brightness of Southeast Asia has been blended into the courtyards.
The most enchanting aspect of this ancient town is the tranquility of a Buddhist kingdom that appears the instant you step out of the bustling city.
No need to deliberately seek out attractions; just stroll along the cobblestone streets: to your left, tourists munching on pauluda (a type of Tibetan pastry); to your right, an elderly person turning a prayer wheel; having just snagged the last skewer of pork skin at a barbecue stall, you look up to see the golden roof of the pagoda bathed in moonlight.
Mangshi's Dai Ancient Town isn't just a "replica of the ancient," but a fusion of Dai life, border vibrancy, and the leisurely pace of Buddhist temples, all cooked into a heartwarming "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" of everyday life.
Don't forget to bring a bag of Burmese flatbread when you leave—after all, carrying its sweet aroma in your bag makes this trip to this "half-fireworks, half-Buddhist kingdom" truly worthwhile.
Would you like me to add a must-try food list for Dai ancient towns?

Mangshi Square is very large and full of ethnic charm. You can stroll around, take photos, and sample local delicacies at nearby shops. The sunset view is especially beautiful.
The architectural style of Mangshi Square is unique, integrating the traditional cultural elements of the Dai and Jingpo ethnic groups. The roofs of the buildings in the square are all glowing with golden light, and the entire square presents an exotic Burmese style. These buildings are not only beautiful and generous, but also carry rich historical and cultural connotations.
A good place for citizens to relax and have fun. Citizens will do morning exercises here early in the morning, and it will be more lively in the evening. Citizens will play chess and cards, dance square dances, etc. here, enjoying a leisurely time. Unlike the square dances that everyone knows in the mainland, there is no annoying noise here, but dancing to the beautiful folk music. It is not only a kind of appreciation, but you will definitely have the desire to join if you are there.
There are flame trees planted around the square, and the flame flowers in autumn are really beautiful; there are also coffee shops and restaurants; there are all kinds of local delicacies in the residential area not far away, and you can eat happily in the morning or in the evening.

Xinwanchang is a night market that more young people like to come to, so even after 6 o'clock in the evening, the popularity has not yet begun to gather. Friends who like the hustle and bustle should remember to come later. There are food streets, street stalls, and a barbecue night market. The entire area is full of barbecue stalls. Friends who can't go to Zibo can satisfy their cravings here.
"Xinwanchang," renovated from an industrial plant in Mangshi, is often mistaken for a "food and snack street." While it certainly offers a wealth of delicious food and local specialties, it's more than just a "food street" and is completely different from "Best" and "Dai Ancient Town."
It's more like a large-scale cultural and creative market created by the local tourism industry. Repurposing former factory buildings, it's transformed into a series of distinctive streets and alleys, including the "Sunset Market," "Starry Night Market," "Chinatown," "Luxi Food City," "Film and Television City," and "Xinwan Snack Street." Almost all of Mangshi's famous shops and stalls can be found here.
The overall look is very trendy, making it a popular choice for many young people.
