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 🚗 Itinerary Suggestions: Day 1: Fly to Mangshi in the evening → Head straight to Silver Pagoda night tour → Stay in Mangshi city center Day 2: Eat Puluda at Mangshi morning market → Fly to Kunming at noon → Check in at Moshang Huakai → Visit Dianchi Lake for sunset Day 3: Take the subway near the hotel to visit Cuihu Park / Former Site of Southwest Associated University → Return trip 🍜 Food Radar: ✅ Must-try in Mangshi: Lin’s Yuanzi’s beef rice noodles, Dreamy Dehong’s lemon sapei ✅ Kunming Bonus: Tofu pudding rice noodles stall opens at 7:30 AM in the alley behind the hotel, only 8 RMB with toppings! 💡 Little-known Secrets: ① Silver Pagoda tickets are 5 RMB cheaper online but must be purchased 2 hours in advance ② Moshang Huakai’s bathroom has a hidden clothesline, super convenient for washing underwear ③ The Kunming Changshui Airport express line goes directly to the hotel business district, saving half the cost of a taxi
