Composition: Shwedagon Pagoda or visit Shwedagon Pagoda (Dehong's friends help! ! ! Homework! Last day! )

It took me 20 minutes at most to get off the bus and eat delicious food. I took a taxi to the Dream Pagoda. There are people climbing mountains all the way. Because today is Women's Day, there are too many people to describe, but I am too tired to take pictures.

/kloc-It takes more than 0/0 minutes to reach the Shwedagon Pagoda in Menghuan. Seeing such a building from a distance reminds me of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. The driver told me in the car one day that it was worth seeing, because it was the first in China and the third in Southern Buddhism, and such a tower could only be regarded as an ordinary tower in Myanmar.

It's really hot, and my skin is stung by the sun. I was about to buy a bottle of water when I happened to meet an old man selling popsicles with an old wooden box on his back. The old man's clothes and the feeling that he couldn't get out made me take out money from my bag and buy popsicles from him. I gave him one yuan, and he is still looking for change for me. I said, keep the change. He gave me two more popsicles. I said I couldn't eat that much. I asked for one and left. The old man told me a lot in dialect. Thank you girl! 10 haven't eaten this kind of popsicle for years. Reminded me of many interesting things in my childhood, so I took this photo with a popsicle in my right hand and a camera in my left hand.

While eating popsicles, I don't forget to look at my watch from time to time. I walked to the door of the tower area. I saw many people at the ticket window. According to people around me, Dai people only charge half price, and foreigners charge full tickets (I am the only one in 30 yuan who can see such a tower? ) I was going to buy a ticket, but I didn't expect that the conductor might think I was because of the clothes I was wearing, so he asked me with Dai, how many people? Fortunately, I can understand the Dai language he speaks, and I also speak to him in Dai language, alone. He said it was half price, so I asked him, didn't there be no charge before? Why is it charged now? He asked me if I was from Ruili. I looked at him and smiled. For a minute, I didn't know what I was thinking. I just want to say yes or no? Before I could reply to him, he mistakenly thought that I belonged to Ruili, only took me 10 yuan, and then tore up the ticket for me. I was squeezed out by the conductor next to me, holding the ticket in my hand, and I felt a kind of unspeakable feeling. I ate the popsicle in my hand.

This is a panoramic view of mangshi taken on the pedestrian street at the entrance.

In order to come back and keep a diary, I wrote the following introduction about the tower with my notes:

Legend has it that "Sakyamuni" lived here when he was reincarnated as "A Luan". Hundreds of years after the Buddha's nirvana, Buddhist disciples "Zhao Handa" and "Arhat" went to this mountain to practice and spread the teachings of the Buddha. In order to provide "Zhao Han University" with a good practice environment, weeds and thorns have all got out of the way, so it is called Leiya Mountain, which means a place to give up weeds. Then a stupa was built on this mountain, which has been recognized as one of the Buddhist holy places since ancient times.

1942 In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the original Leiya Mountain Pagoda was destroyed. 1966 During the Cultural Revolution, the Dream Pagoda in Luxi City was destroyed. In order to meet the wishes of religious believers, carry forward national culture and promote the necessary development of social economy and tourism, the overall reconstruction was decided. It was named Dream Tower, with a height of 76 meters and a base diameter of 50 meters. It is an octagonal four-door hollow pagoda, and a ceremony of "Pure Land" was held on June 30th, 2004. On May 1 day, 2007, the opening ceremony was held.

"Dream Pagoda" is located at the top of Reyalang Mountain at an altitude of1079.6m in the southeast suburb of mangshi. The tower is 73 meters high and its base is 50 meters long. The overall structure is an octagonal hollow stupa with four gates.

East gate; South gate; Simon; North gate; This is one of the doors. Around the zenith pillar in the center of Ursa Major Hall, there are four natural white marble Buddha statues, Siddhartha Gautama in the east, Buddha statues of pharmacists in the west, Buddha statues of Guanyin in the south and Buddha statues of Maitreya in the north. (This is one of the Buddha statues)

There are four doors and eight guardian statues of the gods, which is one of them. Murals and utensils reflecting the life and teachings of the Buddha are displayed on the second and third floors of the four Ursa major halls around the zenith pillar in the center of the Hall. Sixteen towers with unique shapes were built on the outer platforms on the second and third floors, and eight vase towers with exquisite Buddhist artistic creativity were built on the outer platform on the fourth floor. The main column on the pedestal is made of a Buddhist bell and thirteen bowls, and a large golden dome weighing 2.3 tons is worn at the highest point.

I am near the zenith pillar of the tower.

It is said that the laying ceremony of the stupa was held on March 29th, 2005, and the coronation and opening ceremony of the Dream Pagoda was grandly held on May 1 day, 2007. At the same time, the Yunnan Buddhist Association also held a ceremony to welcome bodhi trees in Sri Lanka.

I was in the tower: (Let me shoot it, to be honest, I was thinking more about the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar)

These two young masters weave auspicious threads that can be worn on their hands with red threads, and I also invited two for fun. After worshipping Buddha, I walked around the tower for a while and saw this incense burner. Elephant statues can be seen everywhere where there are Dai people. 16: 30, take a taxi to the airport.

The plane at 17: 40 arrived in Kunming around 19 in the afternoon, ending my half-month trip.

Note: I have been busy with what I am doing since I came back, so I can't keep a diary as scheduled. Now I write in the form of memories. Thank you for sharing my travel notes with me!
