Step into the most beautiful Ruili - a village in two countries

【A village in two countries】 A Yunnan village at the China No. 71 boundary marker actually belongs to two countries, and cross-border marriages are common. The world is so big that there are no wonders. There is a village at the China-Myanmar border No. 71 boundary marker, which is known as "a village in two countries". Such geographical wonders are very common along the entire Ruili border line of more than 140 kilometers, and many villages are "you are in me, and I am in you". Now the village at the China No. 71 boundary marker has become a famous scenic spot, attracting tens of thousands of tourists every year. The name of the scenic spot is called "a village in two countries". Before 1960, this village was called Yinjing Village. That year, when China and Myanmar surveyed the border, the location of the China No. 71 boundary marker was determined in the middle of Yinjing Village, and the boundary marker divided the village into two. Now the one in China is still called Yinjing Village, and the one on the Myanmar side is called Mangxiu Village. Because Yinjing Village and Mangxiu Village used to belong to the same Dai village, at that time, the border line between China and Myanmar was only marked by ditches, earth ridges, bamboo fences, and village roads, but there were no strict barriers between the borders. The situation of villagers crossing the border for harvesting and farming is also very common.
