Mangshi

A small Dai town on the southwestern border of Yunnan, where gold and silver pagodas, Theravada Buddhist temples, and De'ang villages showcase border ethnic customs.

Mangshi is the seat of Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, located in southwestern Yunnan near the China-Myanmar border, featuring a warm climate. Menghuan Grand Golden Pagoda and the Silver Pagoda stand on opposite hills as city landmarks; the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda, Bodhi Temple, Wuyun Temple, and Fengping Pagoda showcase Theravada Buddhist culture, the Dai Ancient Town offers a taste of Dai customs, and Chudonggua Village in Santaishan De'ang Ethnic Township provides insight into De'ang life. The local area is also a production region for Arabica coffee. Autumn and winter are warm and dry, and the Water Splashing Festival around April is the most bustling time. The main gateway is Dehong Mangshi Airport, and long-distance buses also connect to Baoshan and Ruili.
