Manfeilong Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Jinghong, China.
Description
Manfeilong Pagoda in Jinghong consists of a central stupa surrounded by eight smaller structures, all finished in white and decorated with intricate details. The arrangement creates a pattern reminiscent of vegetation growing upward from the earth.
History
The white brick structures were built in the early 1200s and have shaped the spiritual heritage of the region for centuries. This site reflects Buddhist traditions combined with local architectural approaches from that historical period.
Culture
The site displays Burmese and Southeast Asian artistic traditions through its decorative elements and layout. Visitors can observe how local aesthetics shaped the structure's visual character and spiritual purpose.
Practical
A daytime visit works best when natural light reveals the details of the white structures and their decorations. Sturdy footwear is recommended since walking is required and ground conditions can be uneven.
