Mangshi Bodhi Temple
  : The Bodhi Temple is situated on the west side of the middle section of Southwest Road in Mangshi. It is a Theravada Buddhist temple. In the Dai language, it is called "Zangxiang," meaning "Gem Temple." According to records, the temple was originally built in the 16th year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that the eldest son of the then chief magistrate of Mangshi (now Mangshi) gave up his official position, shaved his head to become a monk, and built this temple. As there was a large bodhi tree in front of the temple, it was named after the tree. Over the past 300 years, the temple has endured wars and disasters, being destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. Despite these hardships, the Bodhi Temple has survived to this day. Apart from the roof, which features the Han-style hip-and-gable architecture, the overall structure follows the traditional Dai stilt-house style. Transportation: After visiting the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda, you can walk here.
