Ruili, most notably her charming subtropical scenery and Dai rural ethnic customs. Ruili is a only a small city of about 180,000, the highest in more than 60% the proportion of ethnic minorities, and most of the Dai, the majority living in Ruili is the water Dai Dai. According to tour guide, mainly inhabited by the Dai in Yunnan, their clothing has a "clothes-free collar, cap non top, waist without belt, shoes, no help, no crotch pants" feature. By area of residence and living customs, Dai Dai divided into drought, water, Dai, Hua Yaodai three branches.

And Banna Dai Dehong Dai and most obvious is the more wear dajin shirt, while the multi-Banna Dai Duijin shirt to wear. Dehong region due to temperatures slightly lower than the Banna, the winter Dai women also like the outside of the nation cast a small jacket suit, much like painting a fitted jacket off as he took office waiting for a female actor, give viewers do not have some flavor. Dai patriarchal customs, in the traditional sense of the Dai, the only man who served as a monk is the culture, the gentleman standing. Woman before the age of 16 are not working, studying singing and dancing, adults are responsible for the household after the farm work, inside and outside on the go, but the status is very low, even when the nun was not allowed to return to secular life, the status of women of this Dai variation dubbed "from generals to slaves," revealed deep Qichu being humorous and helpless.
Ruili City, adjacent to three sides and Myanmar, borders up to 140 kilometers. Dam in Ruili, China has Ruili City, Myanmar side Muse, Namkham two towns, forming a "one Bazi, two countries, three counties (cities) city" the unique scenery of the border. In Ruili's sister divisions are of Sino-Burmese friendship street, here are veterans Chen Yi wrote, "sip a River," poems of place, the Chinese side in this building of a beautiful sculpture: a shoulder all the burdens of Dai girls and a bucket bit overhead tank Myanmar young women meet in the well, a symbol of friendship, peace and tranquility. Friendship on the street into the city saw contiguous jewelry craft stores. Newly opened border trade, the main commodity wood products from Myanmar and precious stones. As time went on, China's economic development, border trade of goods mostly from China, even the stones, but also bought from Myanmar jade mine in the country (that is, in Ruili) for the sale or export after processing, from the flow of goods to see already out of the main, and the domestic consumption of no more than a tourist groups, the number of insignificant, can be seen from here is also the economic strength of China's reform and opening up the growing role of the. Sino-Burmese Friendship Street, with the Shenzhen Chung Ying Street is different from the way it is not carved but on road as the boundary pillar south of the highway, the Myanmar side of the border, too, are way south, local residents can exchange with each other, but the stores are in China, tourists do not need to go to the other side. Lunan, of course is not all the territory of Myanmar, where canines are not cross some places, many of the stockade is what you have me, I have you, in many parts of a well between the two countries, a Walled between the two countries, a room between the two countries , is said to have a family across the borders borders on the spectacle. --- Lane Island in Ruili on the road, there is a repair of the Dai called Mountain Village, road side is a boundary marker, border checkpoints, the road is located next to the bus onto the next step will be able to leave the country 10.

Namkham
Ruili, Yunnan, one of the three border open cities, with two state-level ports, and a provincial port. Ruili City, 4 km south Jiegao (Jiegao meaning old) port for the state-level ports, and its east, south and west and Myanmar on three sides, wooden sister city, connected to Muse from the city center is only 500 meters away. We crossed the border crossings Jiegao the door did not see any validation and abide by the Myanmar side of the check station off into Myanmar to the Muse in Myanmar "golden palace." Muse Department Shan language place names, which means "the hustle and bustle of the towns," was intended. It is Myanmar's northern Shan Bonsi a border township (equivalent to counties), and it was Burma's state-level ports. AD 1300, Shan Wang Ji in that casual game (now Muse Airport) was built two bridges, and turned into markets. In 1900, Muse is only more than 200 households and more than 1000 population; in 1968 developed into more than 1,000 households and more than 5,000 people; in 1991 to more than 2,500 households and 17,000 people. Today's Muse has been He Meng, Kong Nam, markets, South Street, North Street and Christian Street, six main streets and merchants to set, a busy, vibrant, thriving northern Burma has developed into a "bustling town "But how do you see are worn as: low-rise houses, potholes in the road disorderly markets, ragged residents. The goods market point of view to be mostly Chinese goods, there are many Chinese businessmen, converted from the market price of goods, the yuan's exchange rate is 1:40 with the kyat, while the monthly wages of the local tour guides, but 3000-4000 kyat (Kunming, In addition to meals, lodging, tour guides, 1,500 yuan, Lijiang, Dali of the last thousand of treatment), standard of living can imagine. In Myanmar, the best buildings are temples, we visited the Deer Temple, Golden Buddha created an attractive, broad courtyard, while the contrast is matched by Mao bamboo canopy top, it is difficult to avoid the residential wind and rain. Even the luxury-called Chinese Street is nothing but a number of brick-wood structure of the two-story building.
The afternoon, ride to Namkham county, Namkham Department of Shan language place names, that is, "Kanae" was intended. It is located in Ruili River south, as the ancients called the Jinsha River Ruilijiang for large, hence the name. It is Myanmar's northern Shan Bonsi a township (equivalent to counties), is said to be northern Burma's largest city, population 200,000 (80% are Chinese), is a town in northern Myanmar, and portals. From Muse to Namkham, 30 km, "asphalt" is full of bumps and hollows, the bridge on the road is even more daunting: Jigen cutting wood side by side down the river is a bridge! On the road, or an iron bridge built by the British during World War II. Dealers on the road, all the way bumps, sitting in the car is like sitting in bumper cars as jumping, Myanmar tour of self-mockery: "Free the cradle, free massage, free DISCO", said that it is time to Burma's "high-end enjoy ", ironically. According to tour guide said that only such a way to Yangon, do not expect any road a few levels. In addition to dozens of kilometers between the two cities a few more tractors improved bus outside and saw to the 67 mark for the COROLLA off-road vehicles, did not see any other vehicle. Visit the Namkham Deer sihou, went to the national garden watch cloth Island tribe folk performances - cloth Island Tribe is an ethnic minority in Myanmar, the tribe's women have to dress up in their own neck bearing a circle similar to the Neck collars brass ring at the same time also a number of copper rings mounted above Silver Chain to display wealth and status. 2 40 ~ 50 cm long with a long neck, neck villa set of the 24 copper rings, arms and legs are wrapped in Yinhuan and copper ring middle-aged women singing (it is said neck ring inside the copper from the grown-sets, the annual increase on one, up to sets of 28. that the long neck is a product of rings is said that the lowering of the copper ring, people will die because of a broken neck) - In addition to surprise, no taste, good news is that The decoration has been grinding the brink of lost, or the descendants of cloth Islanders turned their backs on such a bad habit, can also reveal the value of a backward and absurd concept? After the end of the visit, in a "Mom opposite" (Burmese language, that is, "Good-bye" in Italian) sound, in Myanmar there is no embankment riverside, multiplied by a "bumper boat" across the Shweli. Ten minutes time, we are back to say goodbye to the day of the motherland. Eagerly looking south, the whole smoke shrouded the water, blue water and mighty, the Myanmar side of the village vaguely in sight. The climate is not bad over there, land is not barren mountains and rivers is the same as Chung Ling, the people are the same as pure and honest, but do not feel the thriving general vigor. Drinking from the same river, two on different days, perhaps this is the feeling of leaving the day.
