General presentation
Mangshi and Ruili
Pagodas dai, tropical markets and border landscapes connect two Dehong cities close to Burma.
The discovery of Mangshi and Ruili is structured around Pagode Menghuan, Exotic Garden of Mengbanaxi and Border Village of Jiegao. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Pagode Menghuan
A great golden pagoda dominates Mangshi and the tropical plain from the top of Leiyarang hill. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers with discretion, without hindering local practices; time, outfit and photographic rules are to be checked on the spot.
Garden
Exotic Garden of Mengbanaxi
This botanical garden gathers palm trees, cycas and tropical species characteristic of Dehong Prefecture. An early visit allows you to better observe the local uses and details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Village
Border village of Jiegao
Markets and checkpoints occupy a commercial area directly adjacent to the border between China and Burma. An early-in-the-day visit makes it possible to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
