弘扬师兄The "Tree-wrapped Pagoda" is located in the middle of the pedestrian street in Mangshi. It is a Dai-style pagoda, originally named "Iron City Pagoda". Because it was built in the former Jielie Village, it is called "Guangmu Jielie" in Dai language, which means "Iron City Pagoda". The pagoda was built in the mid-18th century during the tenure of Fang Zuofan, the 15th Tusi of Mangshi (1741-1770) to commemorate a victorious war. The "Iron City Pagoda" is a brick and stone structure with an octagonal base and a beaded cone body, about ten meters high. Later, Jielie Village was destroyed in the war, and the residents fled and did not return, leaving the pagoda unattended. As cracks appeared in the pagoda body over time, dust gradually accumulated in the wind. A banyan seed was brought to the crack of the pagoda by the wind or a bird, and the spring rain watered it, and the seed took root and sprouted. About a hundred years ago, a banyan tree grew in the cracks of the tower. After several storms, the tangled roots gradually wrapped around the tower, forming the current wonder of "tree wrapped tower". The ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree. Now the tree on the top of the tower is more than 30 meters high, and the canopy covers nearly 1,000 square meters. The tower wraps the tree, and the tree wraps the tower, forming a strong community. The "tree wrapped tower" is regarded as a "love tower" by the Dai people. The thick trunk tightly wraps the tower body, and the tree wall falls like a waterfall, bathing the tower base. The tree wraps the tower, and the tower embraces the tree, interdependent and complementing each other, forming a unique tree wrapped tower wonder, which is famous in western Yunnan and Southeast Asia.

山人1966The petrified trees in the Precious Plant Garden are very valuable. We also saw other unusual rocks and rare tree species, making it a great place for parents with children to learn about science. The Shwedagon Pagoda is magnificent and awe-inspiring. We visited at 5 pm, and it was resplendent and solemn under the setting sun. Definitely worth a visit.

M23***21The scenic area is about a 30-minute drive from the city center. It boasts well-developed facilities and convenient transportation. The Shwedagon Pagoda at sunset is particularly striking. Prices within the scenic area are reasonable. It is recommended to visit during off-peak hours.

M22***38It'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.

Anonymous userThe hot spring area isn't very large, with indoor pools (each with a separate fee), outdoor pools, and an outdoor pool. The water is very smooth, the hygiene is acceptable, and the service is good. It's primarily known for its high cost-performance ratio. It's more convenient to get there by car. We took a taxi, and when we left, we had to wait a long time to get one.

M27***64There are more than 20 hot spring pools with various types and good service. There are more people than usual during the Spring Festival holiday, but the organization is still in order and the facilities are complete. It is a good hot spring experience. There are many people eating and dining. Going a little later can reduce the queue and find a seat. People with inconvenience in legs and feet should consider it carefully. The hot spring pools are layered and you can't avoid going up and down stairs. It feels like you need to climb 7 or 8 floors of stairs from the lowest restaurant to the upper dressing room.

_YX***10Walking into the Rehai Scenic Area, you can see steaming springs everywhere, especially the Rehai Boiling Pot, which is bubbling with hot air. I also soaked in the Rehai hot springs, which have both sulfur and carbonic acid springs, drawn directly from the Rehai Boiling Pot. It was the first time in my life I had ever enjoyed such a comfortable hot spring.

兰小姐💃The entrance fee wasn't expensive, but the extra charges inside were outrageous. The grassland was beautiful, but most of it was fenced off. However, the景区 service was decent; the sightseeing bus was readily available, and a kind lady even helped me make a phone call. 🚗🙏

重复思念During my three days and two nights in Heshun, there wasn't much to see in the ancient town itself, since my home is located in a 5A-level scenic area. However, the nearby Dongshan Grassland and Ginkgo Village were the places I was most looking forward to. I witnessed a stunning sunset, took beautiful photos in Ginkgo Village, and met two new friends in the ancient town—it was a perfect trip.
