Ruili, Yunnan, enjoy off-season travel.

🌅Ruili, a small city located in the southwestern border of Yunnan, is like a pearl lost in the corner of time, exuding a unique and charming charm. When you step into this land, the rich exotic customs, beautiful natural scenery and rich cultural landscape will bring you an unforgettable travel experience. Next, I will present you the most complete guide for traveling to Ruili in February👇 🎯Travel routes Jiegao Port: This is an important port on the China-Myanmar border and one of the most representative attractions in Ruili. Standing in front of the national gate, you can clearly feel the border between the two countries, and the street scenes of Myanmar across the country are in full view, full of exotic customs. You can also go shopping in the duty-free shops near the port to find some special products🛍️ China-Myanmar Street: adjacent to the Jiegao Port, there are many shops on both sides of the street, selling various special products from Myanmar, such as jade, wood carvings, special snacks, etc. Here you can bargain as much as you want and feel the lively atmosphere of the border trade market😃 Moli Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area: Stepping into this mysterious tropical rainforest is like entering a green fairy tale world. Strolling along the plank road, you will be surrounded by primeval forests that block out the sun, with the sound of gurgling streams and crisp bird songs in your ears. You can also see the spectacular Mori Falls and feel the majestic momentum of nature. Wanding Bridge: This ancient bridge, which has witnessed historical changes, connects China and Myanmar. Standing on the bridge, you can look back at the glorious past and appreciate the unique scenery of the China-Myanmar border. There are also some historical memorials near the bridge, where you can learn more about that special history📜 One village, two countries: The peculiar border divides a Dai village into two, the Chinese side is called Yinjing, and the Myanmar side is called Mangxiu. Here, you can see the "One Swing, Two Countries" swing. Just swing gently on the swing and you can go abroad in an instant; there is also the "One Well, Two Countries" well. Villagers from both countries drink water from the same well and are as close as one family👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Da Denghan Dai Zhuangfang: Zhuangfang with Dai characteristics, unique architectural style, magnificent and splendid. Here you can experience the rich Buddhist culture and appreciate the exquisite murals and Buddha statues. Surrounded by large areas of bamboo and pomelo trees, the environment is quiet and peaceful, like a paradise🌳 Ruili River: Come to the Ruili River in the evening to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The sparkling river water and the sunset glow in the sky complement each other, forming a beautiful picture. You can also choose to take a cruise and feel the breeze on the river🚤 🍜Food Recommendation - Dai flavor: When you come to Ruili, you must try the authentic Dai flavor. The grilled fish with lemongrass 🐟 is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a unique aroma; the pineapple rice 🍍 is sweet and soft, and every bite is full of rich fruity aroma; there are also various cold dishes, such as cold sour papaya, cold mango, etc., which are sour and spicy and delicious, and very appetizing. - Burmese cuisine: Influenced by Burmese culture, Ruili also has many delicious Burmese cuisines. For example, Burmese Shababa has a crispy texture and is sweet and delicious when paired with condensed milk or sugar. There is also Shan rice noodles, which have a rich soup and smooth rice noodles and have a unique flavor. 🏠Accommodation suggestions - Ruili City: Diverse accommodation options, convenient transportation, and complete surrounding supporting facilities. You can choose a hotel or B&B according to your budget, from economy to luxury. - Near Jiegao Port: If you want to visit Jiegao Port and China-Myanmar Street more conveniently, staying nearby is a good choice. You can feel the lively atmosphere of the border at any time, and you can also go to the night market at night. ⚠️Notes - Documents: When traveling to Ruili, especially to border areas, you must bring your mainland China ID card, as some attractions may require inspection. - Currency: Both RMB and Myanmar Kyat can be used in border trade areas such as the China-Myanmar Street, but it is best to prepare some small-denomination cash in advance for easy payment. - Weather: The temperature in Ruili in February is relatively comfortable, but there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is recommended to bring a coat. At the same time, take good sun protection measures because the sunlight here is quite strong. - Shopping: When purchasing precious items such as jade, be careful to identify their authenticity and choose regular merchants to avoid being deceived. I hope this guide can help you have a pleasant journey in Ruili and enjoy the unique charm of this small city💖
