A small border town with Dai cuisine, Southeast Asian-style architecture, and down-to-earth local vibes—just strolling around here can fill you with happiness! Here, you can visit golden pagodas and feast at night markets until you're stuffed—it's pure bliss!
⛺【Must-Visit Spots】:
1. **Mangshi Golden Pagoda**
❤️ How to Enjoy It Best
Visit in the evening to admire the pagoda glowing under the sunset and the dazzling night view when the lights come on.
There’s a viewing platform at the base to overlook the entire city—don’t forget your wide-angle lens!
😫 What to Avoid
Do not climb the pagoda or touch prayer flags—respect religious customs.
Avoid overpriced souvenirs from street vendors; opt for official shops instead.
2. **Silver Pagoda**
❤️ How to Enjoy It Best
The pagoda is pure white—wear bright colors for photos that pop!
3. **Tree-Wrapped Pagoda**
❤️ How to Enjoy It Best
Visit during the day to clearly see the wonder of the banyan tree and ancient pagoda intertwined.
😫 What to Avoid
Do not shake the tree or climb the pagoda—protect cultural relics.
4. **Mangshi Jewelry Town Night Market**

Opens daily after 19:00, featuring Burmese-style jewelry, handicrafts, and food stalls. Bargain boldly—halving the price is totally fine!
Must-tries: Paoluda (a local dessert), Dai-style barbecue, and Shuaibaba (a crispy pancake). Stroll and snack to soak up the lively atmosphere.
😫 What to Avoid
Avoid impulsive buys of expensive jewelry—unless you're an expert, just admire them.
