Luxi City (mangshi) is the capital of the state and the most populous city in the state. It is the political, economic and cultural center of the whole state, with many scenic spots and historical sites, and is rich in high-quality rice. "mangshi millet mixed rice" has existed since ancient times. It is 778 kilometers away from Kunming, the provincial capital, and 427 kilometers away.
According to legend, Sakyamuni passed by here at dawn, so he was named mangshi, which means dawn in Dai language. Therefore, mangshi is also called the City of Dawn.
Chatting with the aunt on the roadside, I found out where Bordet Ji was. This is a very quiet temple. The sunset in Dehong area is late, and it usually doesn't get dark until after 7: 30 in the evening. At sunset, Bordet Fund is yellow, soft and solemn.
Dai people believe in Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. Believers need to take off their shoes when they enter the temple to pay homage, and naturally I have to take off my shoes and go in to pay homage according to the custom. I have too many complicated feelings, I'm afraid I can't purify them for a while ~
Have lunch in the restaurant of Dai people, and one of the specialties is called Saembryo. Vegetables, meat and rice noodles are dipped in a special sauce. This sauce not only contains super spicy peppers, but also is a treasure of cattle.
Some people may not be used to eating at first, but I think the more they eat, the better they taste. Even if I know its material, it won't affect my appetite ~
When we arrived at Meng Jiao Pagoda, it was already dark, and the night view overlooking mangshi was very exciting. This stupa is the largest stupa in Dehong area and a landmark building in mangshi.
The next day, I visited three trees and the tree pagoda. The tree landscape with two different ecological forms is really eye-catching. Three trees are three lush banyan trees, like a family of three, which is Han Wei's home. The pagoda wrapped in trees is even more magical, from small banyan seeds to the whole pagoda. It is said that there is still growing momentum.
Dehong mangshi, a leisurely and quaint city, let me put down my dull thoughts.
