The Manchunman Buddhist Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Awa Mountain Exploration 26: Manchunman Buddhist Temple
In the Dai ethnic garden, a series of spectacular, exquisite, and ancient Buddhist temples and pagodas signify the long-standing presence of Buddhism, as well as their extraordinary status in the hearts of the Dai people. Among them, the ancient Manchunman Buddhist Temple is one of the oldest in Xishuangbanna, with a history of over 1400 years. The temple houses Buddha statues, including Sakyamuni, and is considered a sacred place by the Dai people. Here, one can quietly appreciate the exquisite Buddha statues and the magnificent temple architecture, as well as participate in chanting, worship, and prayer, feeling the faith and devotion of the Dai people.
Xishuangbanna | Step into the enchanting time of the Dai people
In this magical land of Xishuangbanna, there is a nationality: the Dai people. It has a long history, and in the process of civilization evolution and confrontation with nature, the Dai building, also known as the Dai stilt house, which is still preserved today, was born. There are still large areas of Dai stilt houses. The breath of Dai people's life is preserved in these stilt houses, which we collectively call: Dai village, and the Dai garden is a scenic spot composed of 5 Dai villages, where you can still feel its historical culture and life breath at close range.
: 8:00-18:00, it is recommended to enter the park from 10:00 to 16:00, and it is recommended to play for about 3 hours, and it is recommended to take the scenic spot battery car.
: The big ticket is 45r, and the battery car + ticket is 85r
: The Dai Garden is about 30km from the city, and the journey is about 40 minutes. At present, there are only chartered cars, self-driving, and group day trips to go there (a direct bus to the scenic spot will be opened later)
Ganlanba, is the residence of the ten chieftains of Menghan in the past dynasties. There are 5 natural Dai villages in the scenic area. The most worth seeing in the park are several ancient temples. The Menghan Chunman Buddha Temple building complex is exquisite and atmospheric, and the murals and sculptures are very artistic; the two tower trees at the entrance of Manting Buddha Temple are said to have a history of more than 200 years, and there is a Tibetan Golden Hall behind the white tower of the Buddha Temple
The temples in the Dai Garden are both historical and beautiful!
The Dai Garden can visit two temples--Manchunman Buddha Temple and Manting Buddha Temple, because of the iconic pagoda in the temple, the two temples are also called 'Golden Pagoda' and 'White Pagoda' in the garden.
Manchunman Buddha Temple has a history of 1400 years. Although the area is not large, the architectural craftsmanship is very exquisite. You can see the delicacy left by history. It is a good choice for viewing, learning, and taking pictures. The white tower of Manting Buddha Temple also amazed me. The pearl white tower is too beautiful to see with the naked eye and to take pictures. Blue sky, green trees, white tower, Buddha temple, perfect combination.
