Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion: a 1701 Dai temple hall studded with mirrors
Jingzhen village, Mengzhe, Menghai County
Built in 1701 as the ordination hall of Jingzhen temple, this 15 m pavilion is the one original building left there; the rest of the temple has been rebuilt. A many-tiered, many-angled roof sits on a brick base, and the outer walls are set with small mirrors and coloured glass that catch the light. It's a national-level monument and was used for monks' gatherings.
What locals sayMost visitors pair it with Mengjinglai or the Menghai tea mountains rather than make a special trip for one building.
