Who would have thought that getting a "hair wash" in Mangshi could be so healing

It's the only city in China named with a single character, and its Water Splashing Festival is 10 times grander than Xishuangbanna's. Some say it offers better value than Southeast Asia, allowing you to experience exotic charm without leaving the country—this is Mangshi, a small border town in Yunnan. Before coming, we knew it would be delicious and fun We saw flocks of peacocks and towering palm trees We tasted cuisine from Yunnan, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam We marveled at unique sights like the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda and the One-Tree Forest We soaked in Southeast Asian vibes at the Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda, and Bodhi Temple But! The most healing experience turned out to be Burmese-style hair washing! At first, we thought it was just a simple hair wash, but it turned out to be a full massage—a whole hour for just a few dozen yuan, making it hard not to fall in love. Any shop near Mangshi Square will give you a wonderfully relaxing experience 😌 ✅ Our itinerary: Tree-Wrapped Pagoda → Bodhi Street → Bodhi Temple → Meng Huan Golden Pagoda → Meng Huan Silver Pagoda → Dai Ancient Town → Manghuang Village → Rare Garden → One-Tree Forest (If you're driving, continue with these:) Heihe Old Slope → Mangbang Tree Hole Hot Spring → Ruili Here, there's no need to rush You'll naturally find the perfect way to enjoy it all
