It is a landmark building in Mangshi, and it is also a holy place for the Dai people living here.

Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda, located on the top of Leiyarang Mountain (1079.6 meters above sea level) in Mangshi, Yunnan Province, is the holy place of Dai belief and the landmark of Mangshi, carrying the epic of thousand-year-old Buddha and modern rebirth. Its history is rooted in the legend of the Dai people: Sakyamuni reincarnated as the golden rooster Aluan once lived in this mountain, hundreds of years after the Buddha was destroyed, the disciple called Handa to practice here when "the weeds and thorns retreated", the mountain is called "Lei Ya Rang" (the place where the weeds let go), and the tower was built in later generations as a holy place for Buddhism.

The original tower has undergone catastrophes - destroyed in 1942 by the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, and suffered another catastrophe in 1966; In 2004, the government rebuilt the two sites in one and spent 55 million yuan to rebirth as "China's first golden pagoda and Asia's first hollow pagoda". The tower is 76 meters high, the diameter of the base is 50 meters, and it integrates the style of the Dai palace in South Asia: in the hollow structure of the octagonal four gates, there are four Buddha statues in the main hall on the first floor, 16 white marble Buddha pavilions and 8 small towers in the second and third floors, covered with 2.3 tons of gold top, and the main pillar of the 13-layer bowl bell base points directly to the sky, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence of Dai Buddhism and nature.

The peacock feast is a cultural totem created by the Dai people in Yunnan Province in the tide of tourism economy, which not only inherits the ancient food genes of the Dai people, but also integrates the "peacock", a symbol of auspiciousness and holiness. With the development of modern tourism, it was systematically integrated in Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other places at the beginning of the 21st century: with banana leaves or dustpans as the table, the Dai sour and hot dishes such as roast chicken, roasted fish, chicken feet, and sour ant eggs are laid out in the shape of a peacock opening screen, and the imitation peacock head is placed in the center as the finishing touch.

Wan Town (Dai language "the place where the sun is at the top"), this "pocket town" on the border of China and Myanmar, with a bridge and a river as the axis, carries the beacon fire and blending of the thousand-year-old border pass. It is the bloodline terminus of the Yunnan-Burma Highway - in 1938, the stone arch bridge flew over the Wanding River, where 3,200 Nanyang mechanics galloped day and night, rushing to transport 500,000 tons of anti-Japanese war materials in three years, and grinding out the lifeline of "one inch of highway and one inch of blood" with wheels; It is also the gate of the expeditionary force: 100,000 soldiers marched to northern Myanmar, where the smoke of the Battle of Black Mountain Gate in 1945 ended the history of the fall of western Yunnan, and the rivets of the steel bridge are still embedded with iron and blood.

In 1956, Premier Zhou Enlai and Burmese Prime Minister U Bar Rui walked side by side across the Wan Town Bridge and planted Burmese osmanthus trees in Mangshi, making this "diplomatic bridge" a symbol of peace for New China to break the international blockade. The Dai people, Jingpo, De'ang and other 15 ethnic groups live across the border here, intermarry and intermarry each other, and the Dai tune, Jingpo and Myanmar brown sugar incense by the fire pond are intertwined into the daily fireworks of "one city and two countries" - the cooking smoke on both sides of the boundary monument is finally boiled into an epic of border pass, national soul and friendship between the border and the waves in the years

Mengmao Banquet, rooted in the cultural soil of the "Mengmao Ancient Kingdom" (Dai language "Fog City") of the Dai nationality in Ruili, Yunnan, was founded by entrepreneur Leslie Cheung in 2015 and is a living carrier of Dai culture in Dehong Prefecture integrating architectural art, ecological diet and non-genetic inheritance. Its architecture is characterized by gray-white Dai-style pavilions, avoiding the bright yellow of the traditional royal palace and echoing the simple aesthetics of the people; The small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard, the pavilions of the golden pagoda, integrate the South Asian style ornaments, and reproduce the artistic conception of the rainforest paradise of "Mengbara Naxi".

The core food culture is marked by the insect feast, digging deep into the ecological wisdom of the Dai people's "eating 100 insects in summer": more than 60 kinds of insects such as bamboo insects, bee pupae and ant eggs are included in the cuisine, and innovative dishes such as "boiled ant eggs with sour grass" and "eggs in auspicious eggs" have been developed, sublimating the source of mountain protein into a cross-border food symbol; At the same time, the ritual of hand pilaf is inherited - yellow and white rice spread with banana leaves, surrounded by 17 sour and hot game, and the "bowl of pure blessing" conveys natural awe.

Take the car to Tengchong (about 3 hours), pass through the first bridge in Asia [Longjiang Bridge] (stop for 15 minutes to take pictures).

The Tengchong Wa people, also known as the "land guards", are one of the indigenous people of Tengchong and one of the first people to communicate and integrate with foreign Han people. The heart pile in the village symbolizes the ancestors of mankind, the Qiziquan nourishes the terraced farming, and the water mill house and laundry ditch record the ecological wisdom of the Wa people's "human and god cohabitation"; The Folk Customs Exhibition Hall, the ruins of the Wa Wangfu and the Wooden Drum House have become living witnesses of the Wa people's transition from primitive clan society to modern civilization.

Special arrangement: [Experience Chung Ba Ba] Rice Ba Ba is the favorite traditional food of the Simola Wa people, which is made of rice as raw materials; Experience the traditional tools of scooping and pressing poop; Savor the taste of fresh rice poop.

As a rice food totem inherited by the Dai people in Yunnan for thousands of years, it is rooted in the farming belief and festival culture of the Dai people. Its history can be traced back to the rice civilization of the ancestors of the Dai nationality - every year from the eve of the Spring Festival of the Han nationality to the New Year of the Dai calendar (about half a year cycle), the Dai village will enter the "baba season", the village village sounded the sound of the wooden pestle hitting the stone mortar, the steamed glutinous rice is under the backdrop of the banana leaves, after repeated pounding and fusion of lard, condensed into a flexible rice ball, and then decorated with salt and black soybean seeds to enhance the fragrance, or directly with purple rice as a blank, the achievement of hundreds of different flavors of the baba form.  

This skill is not only the embodiment of the Dai people's ecological concept of "symbiosis between heaven and man" (banana leaf wrapping, bamboo and wood utensils processing), but also carries the function of social bonds: during the New Year's Festival, baba is given to relatives and friends, symbolizing blessing and reunion; During the sacrifice, it is made as an offering and prays for the soul of the valley to protect the harvest. In recent years, with the integration of culture and tourism, the traditional family ritual of "self-promotion and self-production" has evolved into an industrial landscape of "one village and one street" - on the "Baba Street" in the old city and countryside, the rice fragrance made by the Dai aunt in the ancient method is rubbing the thousand-year-old Dai rhyme into the memory of tourists, so that this "flexible as years, innocent as the original heart" of the tip of the tongue intangible cultural heritage, from the fire pond to the world.

Volcanic Geothermal National Geopark (Tengchong, Yunnan) is rooted in the "scar of the earth" of the collision of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, and carries the geological epic of the Hengduan Mountains for hundreds of millions of years. There are 97 volcanic cones scattered in the park, 25 of which are intact, confirming the wonder of the folk proverb "ten mountains and nine headless" - the truncated crater of Xiaokong Mountain, the basalt giant array of columnar joints, and the volcanic dark river of Heiyu River, which together write the history of volcanic activity from 3.4 million to 10,000 years ago.

The wind of advocating literature and education continues - more than 400 talents have been brought out in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the business legend of the jade king Zhang Baoting, the enlightenment spark of the philosopher Ai Siqi's "Popular Philosophy", and the cultural ties of the Burmese national teacher Yin Rong have all been nurtured here. The Heshun Library (with a collection of 130,000 books) donated by overseas Chinese has been filled with the fragrance of books so far, and the villagers have become a living totem of "China's first rural library" by "washing their feet in the fields and reading with books". After being listed as a national 5A-level scenic spot in 2024, this "living ancient town" will continue to write the harmonious poems of border civilization with the aborigines not moving and the fireworks in the ancient alleys as usual.

Heshun Ancient Town, with its closed, traditional and stable environment, has completely retained the characteristics of Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasty culture, and is known as a living fossil of ancient Chinese architecture. Li Gengen, acting premier of the Republic of China, has a poem praising and shun: "Absolutely better than Xiaosu and Hangzhou". Today's Heshun life is still tranquil and untainted with modern atmosphere.
