Anonymous user:“It's a place worth visiting. Boundary marker No. 71 is outside the railings, and the swing can't swing "outside". But through the railings, you can see the life scenes on the opposite side. The other scenery is a later artificial landscape, adding a little frontier style.”

Chen123456~~:“- Tranquil Stream: A gurgling stream runs through the scenic area, its water crystal clear. Strolling along its banks, you can hear the gurgling sound of the water, as if playing a beautiful rainforest melody, adding a touch of vibrant beauty to the entire area. - Unique Scenic Spots: Strange sights such as trees encasing rocks and rocks encasing trees are found. Thick banyan tree roots wrap straight around boulders, leaving one side of the rock completely suspended in the air before plunging deep into the ground, showcasing nature's uncanny creativity.”

弘扬师兄:“The terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau determines the thrilling high speed here, but the one-hour drive from Mangshi to Ruili is very flat and smooth, with flowers all the way to welcome every guest. When you come to the border, how can you not take a look at the port? It is close to Myanmar, so you naturally want to take a look at the jade. Then you are in the right place. Unlike the huge jade market in Ruili City, the things in the jewelry store here are really for ordinary people to see, and the shopkeepers' offers will not immediately reject you. As long as you do your homework in advance, I believe you will find the jade that suits you. You must remember to know yourself, see things clearly, avoid greed, and have a peaceful mentality. The port is naturally a place for exchanges between the two countries. It is crowded with people. You can see Burmese people all over the ground. They look no different from Indians. They are all busy and have no time to look around. You can also go around the Sino-Myanmar market, but I believe most of the things inside are unfamiliar. Just take a look. Anyway, there will be a big obstacle to language communication. You might as well try their snacks and take a few sneak shots. There are other ports in Ruili. Jiegao Port should be the largest one with the most convenient transportation. If you are interested, especially jadeite, you may come a few times, take a look, and then make a decision until you are satisfied.”

弘扬师兄:“Ruili General Buddhist Temple and Dai Palace are located next to Panbeng Village in Mengmao Town, Ruili City, Yunnan Province, on a high slope 8 kilometers away from Ruili City. The two attractions are adjacent to each other. For those who come to Ruili in autumn and winter, especially those who have faith, this is a good place with pleasant scenery, quiet and peaceful. It is a good idea to stay for a while or to camp the RV here. Don't underestimate this place. The General Buddhist Temple has a host and monks, and a group of young monks are being cultivated in the temple; the General Buddhist Temple is very popular, and there are endless tourists visiting. From time to time, there are tour groups visiting this temple. The hollow Buddha statue is a great place to take pictures of the sunset; the building is grand and magnificent, splendid, and the infrastructure is complete. The Dai Palace is about 20 meters away from the General Buddhist Temple and covers an area of about 533 acres. The buildings include the Dai Palace, the Great Pagoda, the dining area, the palace ruins, the wash well ruins, the wash elephant pool ruins, the training ground ruins, etc. I don't know why the Dai Palace's facilities are not as good as those of the main Buddhist temple. There are no monks, no incense, no tour groups, only sporadic individual tourists. The reason may be that the infrastructure needs to be improved, the staffing is not in place, etc. However, this is also a good place to take pictures of the sunset.”

弘扬师兄:“For Chinese people, the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is both familiar and unfamiliar. I believe many people know the name "Wanding". Wanding Border Cultural Park is located in the center of Wanding Town. Starting from the Jade Cultural Park, it extends northward along the original starting section of the Yunnan-Burma Road to the Expeditionary Army Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall and the Red Memory Museum at the entrance of the Stilwell Road. On both sides of the 1.2-kilometer road, a museum group including 13 museums including the Antique Car Museum, the World Jewelry Museum, the China-Myanmar Folk Museum, the Ancient Coin Museum, the Ancient Weapons Museum, and the Rare Wood Art Museum is formed. Combined with the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanic Monument and other anti-Japanese cultural relics, a comprehensive cultural park including "One Road and Three Streets" covering a variety of cultural themes is formed. The Yunnan-Burma Road is so famous that it is a great honor to come to the starting point of the "Stilwell Road" in person. It is of great significance to leave images here. Sit down in a roadside shop to eat a bowl of rice noodles and watch the former fortress shining in the morning sun. It is a special feeling. I went to the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics Returning to China to Fight Against the Japanese" to pay my respects, sat down on a hill in the park, ordered a cup of coffee, looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, and listened to the elders' narration of the scenes of those years, and my thoughts began to spread...”

喜欢猫的虎:“This tree is next to Mangling Village (next to National Highway 320). From a distance, it looks like a green forest. If you look closely, you can find that this forest is actually just a banyan tree. Ruili people call it the Welcoming Banyan Tree. This Welcoming Banyan Tree is not very big. It ranks fifth in Dehong Prefecture, but it has a unique tree shape and changes its posture from left to right, front to back, so it is favored by many film and television experts. For example, more than ten films and TV series such as "Border Village Fire", "Peacock Princess", "Traveler with Handcuffs", and "Journey to the West" have been filmed here. The famous movie star Wang Xiaotang has played on the swing on this tree, and Liu Xiaoqing lingered in the forest.”

喜欢猫的虎:“Wanding Bridge is located on one side of the Wanding urban area. It is a boundary bridge on the border river between China and Myanmar. It is also an important channel for the people of China and Myanmar to trade, trade and cultural exchanges. It is famous at home and abroad for its great role in the history of my country's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and diplomatic history. Wanding Bridge is the gateway to the southwest of the motherland, the end of National Highway 320, the key to the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, and the link of the China-India Highway; it reaches Kunming to Shanghai in the north, goes south to Lashio in Myanmar and Yangon, and goes northwest to India.”

🌸elyn ☔️🌊:“I took a taxi from Ruili Jiegao Port to eat there, just opposite the Yuekelai Hotel. There were 3 tables of diners in the restaurant even though it was not a meal time. A handsome Burmese guy took the order. "Pao Lu Da" is a dessert with a lot of ingredients. The milk base is not bad except that it is too sweet. "Myanmar Egg Baba" is actually similar to Indian flying cakes, very crispy, but the disadvantage is that it is too sweet. "Lemon Fish" is tasty, with a thick layer of lemon leaves and mint leaves sprinkled on it.”

Peatsoil:“🗓Itinerary: Rent a car at 9 am in Mangshi and drive along National Highway G320. When approaching Ruili, the police uncle checked the ID card, passed Wanrui Bridge and the old bridge (the tropical rain forest scenic area is also on the roadside, because I just went to Gaoligong Mountain, I didn’t go there), and drove and played. Arrived in Ruili at 12 o’clock to find 🍲Recommended dishes: Lunch at Akao’s house, hand-held rice and freshly squeezed juice, 40 yuan per person, very full. In the afternoon, I went to Jiegao border. It was said that many goods in Myanmar need to be imported from Australia, so the usual busy streets have not been restored, but there are already many vendors and tourists. Jadeite looks at the big stores, it’s okay. I looked at the counterfeit cabinet in the store and then looked at the Burmese vendors outside. They all look like B-grade and C-grade (although they are chemically treated and not natural, they are cheap and look good to laymen). Of course, there are some real ones, and they dare to promise that A-grade and have certificates are all real. After that, I went to the Jewelry City and was shocked by the thousands of vendors and shops here. The prices seemed to be similar to those in Tengchong and Kunming. I bargained down the price of a pendant to 60%. It is a prerequisite to look more and have a good understanding. 🍲 Recommended dishes: In the evening, go to Caiyun City, a big night market, for dinner. There are many snack carts (just next to Akao's house at noon). If you like exotic food, the egg cake and Thai sisters on the right hand side of the door are both good.”

magic_chiu:“Ruili Restaurant is highly recommended!! This restaurant is a local restaurant that has been eaten since childhood. And the product is very guaranteed. Now it is well-known and has become a popular restaurant on the Internet. During the Spring Festival holiday, it is impossible to get a table at all. 📍Detailed address: Shops 3 and 4 on the first floor, No. 27, Guangmu Road, Ruili City, Dehong District, China (Yunnan) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Ruili City ⏰Business hours: 10:30--22:30 🥘Recommended dishes: Korean bibimbap🍚 | Spicy seafood pasta🍝 | Signature hamburger🍔 | Tomato meat sauce pasta🍅 | Eel sushi🍣 | Thai hot and sour noodles🍜 | Strawberry jam🍓 | Avocado jam🥑 🏡Restaurant environment: The store has been renovated. It was a bit dark before. Now it is a very fresh decoration with various Spring Festival elements. Tourists are worth checking in. In short, I want to eat here from time to time. 💰Per capita consumption: ¥50/person 👍Taste evaluation: Friends who like hot and sour food are blessed, it is definitely a carnival for taste buds. All their hot and sour food is delicious. The sandwich is just so-so, and I recommend the burger🍔. Juice milk tea🧋 is delicious even if you close your eyes. But! The key point is to choose coffee carefully☕. Although the name is Coffee House, the coffee is really not good. It is completely won by various food. #Local only food #Romantic dating restaurant #Hometown snacks I will pick”

The avocado is huge. I ordered the Huayang cold drink, which is said to be very special - Pao Lu Da. It feels average, and the coffee is also brewed. So the first thing to come here should be juice.”

There are two big pots at the door, cooking noodles, rice noodles, and a big bowl is only 10 yuan - it's super big like a basin. You can add small ingredients as you like, and it's so delicious when you add pepper oil. The fried fish is especially delicious, and the ecological roast duck is 48 yuan per piece. It's not freshly roasted, but it's delicious. There are also various kinds of pastries. I went in and bought a big steamed bun first.”
