Ruili is the capital of three ancient countries, namely, Yunnan-Vietnam Elephant Country, Mengmaobi Country and Luchuan Gong Country. This place is called "Mengmao" in Dai language, which means "a place shrouded in green fog". Ruili borders Myanmar on three sides, with a boundary line of169.8km, more than 60 boundary pillars and 28 ferries. There are countless natural passages on the land, which are connected with the mountains and rivers of Muse City and Namkham County in Myanmar, and the fields and villages are criss-crossed. Ruili is the largest inland port in southwest China and the first batch of excellent tourist cities in China, with two national ports, Ruili and Wan Ding. It is an important jewelry distribution center in Southeast Asia, one of the four major jewelry markets in China, and also the main commodity supplier of the major jewelry markets in China.

Ruili may be famous because it is the smallest of the first national open ports. "One dam, two countries and two counties" is the best description of Ruili. At that time, Ruili lived a rich life by border trade. Today, the terminal of National Highway 320 is still the main channel and port for China to reach Myanmar and Southeast Asia by land, but it is not as prosperous as in the heyday of border trade in the past. The streets are a little deserted, and the border people still irrigate their fields in their own way and live leisurely in the unchanging natural environment. Ruili bazi is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is open and flat. Tropical fruit trees and Dai bamboo houses hidden by phoenix bamboo can be seen everywhere in the fields. The rubber forests and banyan trees in Lin Yuyu are endless, and the landscape of single-tree forest can be seen everywhere. Ruili River and Longjiang River, like two jade belts, flow slowly around Ruili Dam. The river is sparkling, ferries come and go, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is full of exotic customs. At night, the night market of Ruili Border Trade Street is brightly lit, and you can taste the delicacies of China, Myanmar, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Ballrooms and bars are very lively. Take a photo in my sister's country by the way.

Go to Muse, an important town in northern Myanmar on the other side of the country, and pick up some souvenirs or something-the "donkey" will have a good trip here.
