Mang City's Golden and Silver Pagodas, namely the Menghuan Great Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda

Mang City's Golden and Silver Pagodas, namely the Menghuan Great Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda (Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda), are famous Buddhist structures located in Mang City of Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The details are as follows: 1. Menghuan Great Golden Pagoda: Situated at the top of Leiyarang Mountain by the Peacock Lake, it is the first golden Buddha pagoda in China and also the first hollow Buddha pagoda in Asia. This golden pagoda is resplendent and magnificent, not only serving as the iconic building of Mang City but also as a sacred site for the local Dai people. Visitors can tour the pagoda every day from 08:30 to 21:00, with an admission fee of 38 RMB. Inside the pagoda, there are attractions such as white jade Buddha statues and flower vase pagodas. 2. Menghuan Silver Pagoda (Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda): This is a purely Theravada Buddhism pagoda and the largest Theravada Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda in the world. After its completion, it became an important site for South Asian and Southeast Asian followers to worship Theravada Buddhism and pay homage to the Buddha. The environment around the Silver Pagoda is beautiful, with flowers blooming in May, filling the air with fragrance. Visitors can stroll along the mountain trail, enjoying the beautiful scenery while experiencing the ethnic culture of the minorities. Overall, the Menghuan Golden and Silver Pagodas are not only tourist attractions in Dehong Mang City but also a feast for enjoying the art of Buddhist sculpture. These two pagodas stand on the edge of Mang City, with the golden and silver pagodas reflecting each other's brilliance. From a distance, they look like the lively eyes of Mang City, or like the brightest stars in the night sky, becoming unique cultural symbols and spiritual emblems of Mang City.
