Mengle Great Buddha Temple is located on the outskirts of Jinghong City, the capital of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and is built in accordance with national AAAA-level scenic spot standards. The Mengli Great Buddha Temple was restored and rebuilt on the site of the ancient Dai Dynasty's royal temple "Jingpiao Buddha Temple", which was built by a Dai king named Balong in the history of the Dai people to commemorate the death of the princess Nan Sha Weibian. The princess believed in Buddhism all her life, so every festival, King Dai personally visited the temple and held a large-scale puja to commemorate her beloved concubine and promote Buddhism at the same time. According to historical records, "Jingpiao Buddhist Temple" was built in the Ming Dynasty and is one of the landmark buildings of the Twelve Banna, symbolizing Southern Buddhism, and is also an important place for Buddhist activities in Banna. The building was destroyed in the war in 2883 (that is, 1848 AD, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty), 169 years ago.The Buddhist temple began to be rebuilt in 2005, and a large-scale land consecration ceremony was held on March 9 of the same year, and a grand groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 9, 2005. The first phase of the Buddhist temple was completed on November 3, 2007, and when it was completed, 108 eminent monks at home and abroad were invited to hold a grand consecration ceremony for the Buddhist temple, and as many as 650,000 Buddhist believers of all ethnic groups participated in the consecration ceremony inside and outside the state. Covering an area of 400 acres, the Buddhist temple is built on the mountain, with a drop of 122.8 meters, in the shape of a sitting Buddha, which is unique at home and abroad. The scenic spot takes the life of Buddha Shakyamuni and the activities of Buddhist temples as the main line, cleverly integrates into the landscape and architectural groups, and fully displays the history and traditional culture of Southern Buddhism. Overlooking the city of Jinghong from the square in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, the beautiful tropical scenery is in full view.
