Ruili Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Driving 5,000 kilometers in Yunnan, here are two southwestern frontier towns you can't miss

📍Ruili - One Village, Two Countries Step into two countries with one foot, connect two countries with one bridge, grow two countries with one tree Experience two countries with one swing, it's a typical village that spans two nations And it's the most beautiful part of the Ruili-Myanmar border. 📍Mang City - Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda, Mengbana Xi The Golden and Silver Pagodas are like a royal couple, maintaining the balance and nature of everything in Mang City. The majesty of the Golden Pagoda is like the awe-inspiring presence of a king While the Silver Pagoda is like a gentle queen, everything is so beautiful and tender 'Mengbana Xi' is a transliteration from the Dai language, a name of an ideal kingdom in the Dai Buddhist scriptures, meaning a magical, beautiful, and rich place. Being in the garden feels like stepping into a heavenly paradise. Exotic flowers and rare trees, peacocks roaming freely, bamboo forests in their splendor, it's an overwhelming beauty. The 'Premier Zhou Enlai Memorial Pagoda' in the garden adds to the ambiance, and the stories of Premier Zhou also resonate deeply with people.

Ruili Self-Driving One-Day Tour Complete Guide

My itinerary: Depart from Mang City (leave early due to bad roads) - Moli Tropical Rainforest - Single Tree Becomes Forest - General Buddha Temple (under major renovation) - Jiedonglao Banyan Tree King - One Village Two Countries - Ruili Port - Ruili Live Crabs - Stay in Ruili 🌸 Moli Tropical Rainforest 4🌟 (Recommended) More interesting than the tropical rainforest of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, with various ancient trees reaching to the sky, very cool.

The largest rattan-woven Buddha in China. 🌸 One Village Two Countries 4🌟 (Recommended) After 4 p.m., there are fewer tourists and the lighting is also good.

A village, two countries

Before setting off, I had anxiously awaited the warmth of the sun amidst the biting cold winds. Upon arrival, I was instantly enveloped by sunlight. The subtropical climate is very dry, the damp and chilly air evaporated, and the cold melted away. The moment I looked up at the sun, the sunlight was splendid, and so was I. Yet, the intense ultraviolet rays showed no mercy, heating up the body relentlessly. This is 'Mengmao'—Ruili. On one side is China, on the other Myanmar. A single village spans two nations, one can step into two countries, a bridge connects two realms, and the national boundary line splits it in half, sometimes making a foreign land feel not so foreign. The newly installed wire fences, the security checks at the checkpoints along the way, have strengthened the border management. Being adjacent to Northern Myanmar is not so frightening after all. Once you're here, leave a memory behind in this auspicious and beautiful frontier town.

Ruili Tour | The Declining Jade Capital, not recommended for a special trip before the Spring Festival departure from Dali

Ruili Tour | The Declining Jade Capital, not recommended for a special trip before the Spring Festival departure from Dali. On the way from Dali, self-driving through Mangshi to Ruili Tengchong, this small town on the China-Myanmar border was once a bustling jade capital. It is not recommended to travel to tourist spots just to check in and pay for the experience. My rating for Ruili is higher than Mangshi, perhaps because I had no expectations, or perhaps because it was an eye-opening experience. See for yourself and then decide whether to go to Ruili. Picture to Picture One Village Two Countries 39 The place I was most looking forward to in the whole journey, a natural village divided into two countries by the national border. Thinking that since there are still villagers living inside, it must be full of cultural collisions. As I entered and went my way, what did I see? A national park under construction? The only high ground that overlooks the other side requires a second fee... A water well and a swing are check-in spots... Through the green iron fence, you can see the dilapidated village in Myanmar, with Burmese people working by the roadside greeting me in Chinese. The busiest place in the whole scenic area is the red brick building, where those who take photos can get good shots, but this is not what I wanted to see here. For those who like red brick buildings, please go directly to Maitreya Dongfeng Charm. Picture to 0: The Great National Gate + Duty-Free Shop A five-minute tour, for friends with nostalgia, you might want to take a look. The duty-free shop is not recommended, feels iia. A five-minute tour, for friends with nostalgia, you might want to take a look. The duty-free shop is not recommended, feels jia. Pictures 12 to 15: Delong Jade Capital The most surprising part of the journey was the night market in Delong Jade Capital, so this is what raw stone trading is like. In a large shed of thousands of square meters, completely dark without lights. Sellers use lamps for viewing raw stones to search in the darkness (here I must praise the night mode of the iPhone, which is completely invisible on site). As the saying goes, it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books, and today I have gained new insights. I was wondering why the locals asked us to go at night, and when I first arrived, I saw rows of jade stalls and felt nothing, until I walked into the darkness at the back, then I suddenly realized. If you want to buy jade, go directly to Duobao City, there are quite a few choices. End of pictures: Ruili Live Crabs The live crabs that I queued for half an hour and didn't get to eat in Mangshi, Ruili here is the main store. Two people ate for $350 without drinks, and I am very satisfied with the freshness and tenderness of the crabs, recommended. In summary, Ruili's tourism resources are not enough to justify a special trip, the whole city exudes a sense of depression, not recommended for a special trip.

Watching the rainbow connecting the China-Myanmar border at the Zongfo Temple in Ruili

Zongfo Temple🏯, with its long history and rich cultural connotations, originates from the traditional Buddhist culture of the Dai nationality. 👑 It is a sacred place in the hearts of the local people. Here, one can appreciate the unique Dai architectural style and 🙏 feel the influence of Buddhist culture. Fortunately, at the end of the tour 👀, I suddenly saw some people walking to the other side of the temple, full of curiosity I followed, 🥺 and was amazed by the sight in front of me! Under the setting sun, the pagoda was like a shining pearl, ☀ radiating light in all directions, and the grandeur of the entire building added an exotic charm. 🇲🇲 The Myanmar border is right in front of you, and you can see the scenery of Myanmar across, feeling like standing at the junction of two countries 🎊. The most astonishing thing was that 🌈 a rainbow spanned the entire pagoda, as if it were a spiritual symbol connecting the pagoda with the heavens. 🌇 In such a wonderful environment, it seemed as if the deities between heaven and earth were smiling. The charming scenery 🎐, complementing the Zongfo Temple, makes one linger and forget to return 🍃. 📝Tips: It is recommended to charter a car or drive to the Zongfo Temple 🚗, as it is located in a more remote area, and it may be inconvenient to get a taxi back. Also, there is no public transportation ❗
