Mangshi is closed to Burma, thus it’s an important window for culture exchange between China and Burma and border port for trading and transportation. Mangshi is a classic national minority border city, so it has very thick and authentic ethnic customs, plus its pretty landscape. Therefore it has nicknames, such as “the Hometown of Peacock” and “the City of Dawn”. ------------------⭐⭐ 0:00 Intro 1:33 Silver Pagoda and Golden Pagoda 34:06 Dai Ancient Town 1:07:26 Mangshi Downtown Walking Tour 1:31:30 Mengba Nakhi Exotic Ecological Garden 1:58:48 Mangshi Peacock Valley Forest Park 2:22:28 Night Tour in Silver and Golden Pagodas 2:31:13 Ethnic Song and Dance show party ------------------⭐⭐ Highlight ------------------⭐⭐ culture:Local people believe in Hinayana Buddhism and Buddhist architecture can be seen in Mangshi, like Menghuan Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda. landscape: Mangshi provides unique natural resources, such as Sanxian Cave, Peacock Lake and Mengbanaxi Rare Park. culture: Mangshi is the center of Dehong, so it accumulates many ethnic minorities.
