The peafowl is the mascot of Xishuangbanna, and you may even take photographs with them so as to bring auspiciousness home. The beautiful love story of the Peafowl Princess and Zhao Shu Tun, best enjoyed by the poetic Golden Lake in Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park, will take you into the mysterious Xishuangbanna.
Man Double-dragon White Pagoda: The pagoda is a typical Theravada Buddhism (or Hinayana) architecture. Influenced by Dai buildings, it has a unique charm in its building style compared with pagodas of interior China. The pagoda is 18 meters high, and was surrounded by eight small Buddha statues including fortune, blessing, peace, fecundity, marriage, career, longevity, and auspiciousness. On the spires of the main pagoda and the surrounding 8 small towers hang many copper bells, which will jingle when the mountain wind blows. It is believed in the legends that the sound is the “Sanskrit Tune” from heaven, which can bring auspiciousness and happiness to the world. However, if you want to take a close encounter with the Double-dragon, you must pass the trial of the 286 stairs that test your piety.
