Jiegao Port

5.9
4.5/5
58 reviews
Jiegao Port is located on the east bank of the Ruili River, facing the Ruili city area across the river. It borders Muse, Myanmar, on the east, south, and north, serving as a busy land route for people and goods on the China-Myanmar border. "Jiegao" means "old city" in the Dai language and is said to have been the site of the ancient Mengmao city. Because it is surrounded by Myanmar on three sides and faces the river on one, it long functioned as an exclave. In the past, access relied entirely on ferries until the Jiegao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 1989, truly connecting the two sides. In 2005, a 600 m long, 4-lane bridge was opened, further easing traffic pressure. Jiegao Port implements a special inside the border, outside the customs management system: while located within the national border, the customs supervision line is set on the cross-river bridge, which gives this area a particularly strong atmosphere of border trade. The impressive national gate architecture and the straight, wide National Gate Avenue are the face of Jiegao.The nearby China-Myanmar Street is even more interesting. This street spans both countries; the Chinese side is called China-Myanmar Friendship Street, and the Myanmar side is called White Elephant Street,the boundary marker stands by the street, and standing in the middle of the street, you can see the streetscapes of two different countries on either side.Ruili · 5.4km from downtown

Ruili Zongfo Temple is located on the hillside of Guanghehan on the north bank of theRuili River, facing Muse, Myanmar, across the river. It is a Theravada Buddhist temple, known in the Dai language as "Wa Ba Jie." Today, it serves as a place for local believers to worship and pray, as well as a Buddhist study center for monks to study scriptures, and it also houses the Dehong Branch of the Yunnan Buddhist College. The temple's architecture blends traditional Dai styles with the styles of Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, such as those in Myanmar and Thailand: the main hall with its triple-eave hip-and-gable roof is covered with a golden roof, while the red-painted and gold-traced stone pillars, intricately carved window lattices, and wooden brackets are full of exotic charm. The golden pagoda on the hilltop shines brightly in the sunlight. Inside the temple, there is a giant hollow Buddha statue 7.9m high, composed of hollowed-out elements such as the Dharma wheel, lotus flowers, and golden Buddhas. At sunset on a clear day, the afterglow passes through the hollow parts and shines on the Buddha, presenting a spectacular scene of "heaven and Buddha as one." Standing on the hilltop viewing platform, you can look out over the Ruili urban area on one side and Muse, Myanmar, on the other side of the river, truly experiencing the border scenery of "one basin, two countries." The temple is also adjacent to theDai King Palace, which you can visit along the way.Ruili · 6.1km from downtown

Graceful Dai girls in traditional ethnic attire, carrying colorful Dai umbrellas, laugh and chat as they walk through the village. The sounds of wooden fish and chanting from the temple carry far, and the wind blows through the chimes on thepagoda, creating a clear, tinkling sound. Here, you can experience the grand Dai festival—the Water-Splashing Festival—at theWater-Splashing Square.Ruili · 6.8km from downtown

It was free to enter. I walked. The Jiegao Bridge is very long, and Jiegao is right on the other side of the river, which is quite interesting because most national borders are defined by rivers, but Jiegao is like an exclave. The border gate also has a distinctive ethnic style. Climbing to the rooftop next to it, you can see the buildings on the other side, which are all quite similar.

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.

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.

Bianzhai Hansha is in Ruili. After taking photos at the Ruili National Gate, I went straight to Bianzhai Hansha. At first, I didn't know what Hansha meant and thought it was a tourist attraction. When I got there, I found out that it was for eating. Haha. It turns out that Hansha means golden resting place in Dai language. No wonder we came here to eat. There are mango trees and jackfruits everywhere. It's really interesting.

Come here to experience the culture and environment of the Sino-Myanmar border. The two countries have friendly relations, and are proud of the increasingly prosperous China! Bananas, sugar cane and other local specialties are on display. It is a good place for tasting and sightseeing.

China. Ruili City, Yunnan Province, is a very good tourist and shopping paradise. When you come here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also experience the exotic hot spring resort, and you can also buy your favorite jade treasures!

Wanding was the main port between China and Myanmar in the early days, but it is no longer in use. According to locals, the area across the border is controlled by the Allied Forces, but please rest assured that it is a safe place within the borders. There are many small attractions in the town, which are suitable for leisurely strolls, but the former site of the Central Bank of the Republic of China and the former site of the International Mail Exchange Bureau have been fenced off and charged.

Sino-Myanmar Street, Myanmar is on the other side of the fence. There are not only locals and tourists on this street, but also many Burmese people. Looking through the fence, compared with the material living conditions over there, our life is already very happy.

I came to Ruili twice to participate in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Today I discovered this beautiful city lake view park. It was so unexpected. The area is so large. And there are all kinds of tropical plants that I can't name, and various landscape sketches are also very ethnic. What I like most is the winding path and the feeling of thousands of twists and turns. There is a dense island in the lake, and there should be many rare birds. It feels like a beautiful view after walking a few steps. It's a pity that I can't come here often during the epidemic prevention and control period. The sunrise and sunset are released, and the scenery here should be more beautiful!
