The Stunning Silver Pagoda of Mangshi at Night

Enjoy the slow pace of "Little Sri Lanka" under the moonlight✨. This dual-city trip from Mangshi to Kunming is truly healing~ The tranquility under the moonlight at the Silver Pagoda and the warmth of blooming flowers along the road perfectly embody the ultimate travel happiness!

📍【Mangshi · Menghuan Silver Pagoda】
This moonlit secret spot hidden in Dehong is amazing! It’s recommended to enter the park after 6 PM to watch the silver pagoda slowly draped in moonlight, with the surrounding pool reflecting stars and the moon. Even your breathing will naturally slow down~ Remember to wear a light-colored long dress; nighttime silhouette photos are super magical!
▫️Address: No. 58 Xianchi Road, Mangshi (Just say "Silver Pagoda" to the taxi driver, locals all know it)
▫️Night Tour Tips: Entry stops at 10 PM but the park is not cleared immediately; bring a light jacket

🛏️【Kunming · Moshang Huakai Hotel】
The perfect recharge spot after a long walk! Relax in a 17th-floor high-rise city view room and watch the sunset. The smart toilet and anti-fog bathroom mirror saved me when catching an early flight~ The front desk guy gave me a super reliable guide to the famous crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, just a 5-minute walk to a local old shop with meals around 15 RMB per person!
▫️Address: 17th Floor, Building S6, Wuyue Plaza (Direct access from Metro Line 5 Yinghailu Station Exit D)
▫️Hidden Perks: Borrow data cables from the front desk without a deposit, and you can cast your phone screen in the room
