Live Your Best Lives
Ruili is filled with jewels and precious stones, and is a genuine and veritable Oriental Jewelry City. The jade trading in Ruili can be traced back to the ancient Dai Mengmao Kingdom and has a long history.
Ruili has five major jewelry parks: Huafeng Jewelry Processing Industrial Park, Jiegao Jade City Raw Material Wholesale Market, China-Myanmar Street, Jewelry Pedestrian Street Jewelry Sales Area, and New Oriental Jewelry City Jewelry Sales Area.
Petrified trees, also known as wood fossils or petrified wood, are formed from trees. Their formation is due to geological processes and changes in the natural environment. In some South Asian countries, petrified trees are symbols of good fortune and peace, and are believed to ward off evil spirits and protect homes.
Ruili is a place where ethnic minorities live, so ethnic costumes are also a major feature of Ruili. When you come to Ruili, you might as well bring a set of ethnic costumes as a souvenir.
In Ruili, you can buy some Burmese specialties and foods, which are also good travel specialties.
Ruili City boasts a market street stretching over a kilometer, known as "Border Trade Street." Vendors are all residents of the China-Myanmar border area, offering a wide variety of goods, including wood carvings, leather goods, textiles, and other handicrafts with Dai characteristics. At night, the street lights illuminate, transforming Ruili into a city that never sleeps. You can reach the street on foot or by taxi.
The Jiegao border trade zone is connected to Muse City, Myanmar's main foreign trade port, on the east, south and north sides. The China-Myanmar Friendship Street is located on the Chinese side of the Jiegao China-Myanmar border, where there are many commercial shops with a distinct Burmese style.
Transportation: You can take a minivan from Ruili City, the fare is 5 yuan, or you can walk from China-Myanmar Street to Muse City, but you need to go through the relevant procedures at the border checkpoint.
The Nangu River Taobao Market, located on the China-Myanmar border, is just over ten kilometers long and forms a small tributary of the Nanwan River. The upper reaches of the Nangu River are part of the gemstone and jade mining belt along the Chinese border, forming part of the China-Myanmar gemstone and jade mining belt.
Some of the gemstones unearthed here are for viewing only and have no economic value; some can be made into jewelry pendants; if you are lucky, you can also find valuable jadeite rough stones.
