Strolling along its banks, you can hear the gurgling sound of the water, as if playing a beautiful rainforest melody, adding a touch of vibrant beauty to the entire area. - Unique Scenic Spots: Strange sights such as trees encasing rocks and rocks encasing trees are found. Thick banyan tree roots wrap straight around boulders, leaving one side of the rock completely suspended in the air before plunging deep into the ground, showcasing nature's uncanny creativity.”

M27***64:“There are more than 20 hot spring pools with various types and good service. There are more people than usual during the Spring Festival holiday, but the organization is still in order and the facilities are complete. It is a good hot spring experience. There are many people eating and dining. Going a little later can reduce the queue and find a seat. People with inconvenience in legs and feet should consider it carefully. The hot spring pools are layered and you can't avoid going up and down stairs. It feels like you need to climb 7 or 8 floors of stairs from the lowest restaurant to the upper dressing room.”

Open year round, 24/7
弘扬师兄:“The terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau determines the thrilling high speed here, but the one-hour drive from Mangshi to Ruili is very flat and smooth, with flowers all the way to welcome every guest. When you come to the border, how can you not take a look at the port? It is close to Myanmar, so you naturally want to take a look at the jade. Then you are in the right place. Unlike the huge jade market in Ruili City, the things in the jewelry store here are really for ordinary people to see, and the shopkeepers' offers will not immediately reject you. As long as you do your homework in advance, I believe you will find the jade that suits you. You must remember to know yourself, see things clearly, avoid greed, and have a peaceful mentality. The port is naturally a place for exchanges between the two countries. It is crowded with people. You can see Burmese people all over the ground. They look no different from Indians. They are all busy and have no time to look around. You can also go around the Sino-Myanmar market, but I believe most of the things inside are unfamiliar. Just take a look. Anyway, there will be a big obstacle to language communication. You might as well try their snacks and take a few sneak shots. There are other ports in Ruili. Jiegao Port should be the largest one with the most convenient transportation. If you are interested, especially jadeite, you may come a few times, take a look, and then make a decision until you are satisfied.”

弘扬师兄:“The "Tree-wrapped Pagoda" is located in the middle of the pedestrian street in Mangshi. It is a Dai-style pagoda, originally named "Iron City Pagoda". Because it was built in the former Jielie Village, it is called "Guangmu Jielie" in Dai language, which means "Iron City Pagoda". The pagoda was built in the mid-18th century during the tenure of Fang Zuofan, the 15th Tusi of Mangshi (1741-1770) to commemorate a victorious war. The "Iron City Pagoda" is a brick and stone structure with an octagonal base and a beaded cone body, about ten meters high. Later, Jielie Village was destroyed in the war, and the residents fled and did not return, leaving the pagoda unattended. As cracks appeared in the pagoda body over time, dust gradually accumulated in the wind. A banyan seed was brought to the crack of the pagoda by the wind or a bird, and the spring rain watered it, and the seed took root and sprouted. About a hundred years ago, a banyan tree grew in the cracks of the tower. After several storms, the tangled roots gradually wrapped around the tower, forming the current wonder of "tree wrapped tower". The ancient tower was gradually wrapped by the banyan tree. Now the tree on the top of the tower is more than 30 meters high, and the canopy covers nearly 1,000 square meters. The tower wraps the tree, and the tree wraps the tower, forming a strong community. The "tree wrapped tower" is regarded as a "love tower" by the Dai people. The thick trunk tightly wraps the tower body, and the tree wall falls like a waterfall, bathing the tower base. The tree wraps the tower, and the tower embraces the tree, interdependent and complementing each other, forming a unique tree wrapped tower wonder, which is famous in western Yunnan and Southeast Asia.”

Buying a bucket of feed can feed them for a long time, and the peacocks will spread their tails very frequently. The overall management and layout are slightly poor, and relatively simple.”

食神牛:“The restaurant is located in the alley of Wukeshu. The storefront is decorated with flowers and plants to look like a Dai courtyard gate. The store is quite large with 6 floors. There are small and large tables on the first floor. The decoration is very ethnic with Dai bamboo weaving and utensils. The second floor lobby is full of low tables and small stools. Fortunately, there are not many customers and it is very quiet. The reception is quite warm and the service attitude is quite good. They recommend dishes and wait patiently for us to choose to place an order. Pao Lu Da is 12 yuan, which is quite a large cup. A lot of small fruit cubes are added to the coconut milk. There are also dry bread, purple rice and coconut shreds on the surface. The taste is rich but sweet. Avocado juice is 20 yuan per cup, which is quite rich and fresh, but also sweet. Lemongrass grilled fish is 48 yuan, which is not spicy, sesame and chives add fragrance, but the taste is a little lighter, and the fish meat is tender and crispy. Fried patty tofu is 22 yuan. The patty tofu in the restaurant is relatively large, and the taste is not as strong as the smaller ones on the stalls. Lemongrass Spare Ribs 35 yuan (5 pieces) is the most delicious dish. The ribs are roasted to be crispy and fragrant, and the lemongrass tastes fresh and salty. Single Hand-Pulled Rice 59 yuan Three-color rice is placed in the middle of a bamboo plate, surrounded by lemon chicken, roasted pork belly, mixed vegetables, beef jerky, eggs, potatoes, watermelon, etc., with a rich taste and rich flavor. Stewed Steak 68 yuan is also one of his specialty dishes. The beef, beef tendon, cowhide, etc. are stewed very crispy and salty. The only thing I can't get used to is that the mint leaves are added and the soup tastes like toothpaste. Old Milk Potato 22 yuan The mashed potatoes are very soft but the taste is really average. Stir-fried water spinach 20 yuan is quite crispy and tender. The overall dish is quite Dai-style and tastes good. The price is also quite affordable and the environment is quite clean.”

M28***31:“The taste is very special, the specialty of the Jingpo ethnic group, and the appearance is also good. At that time, because the restaurant was inconspicuous, only a few people came to eat. The menu was created by ethnic minority friends. It can be seen that they are doing things with care. In order to show support, we ordered a 10-course set meal for 2 adults and 2 children. The portion was large. Although we tried our best to eat, we still couldn't finish it. It was a pity, but not regretful. It was a good experience.”

Even:“I don't know why it has such a special name, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd. We arrived at 9 o'clock and there was already a queue, but we didn't have to wait as long as expected. It was also because of the large flow of people that the waiters didn't have time to clean up the scene. The paper towels and food residues on the ground could only be ignored as much as possible. The dining environment is really not very good. The cooking table is full of dazzling things. Anyway, add a little bit of pepper. The most fun is to scrape it with a knife. The first bite was amazing. The taste is indeed much better than it looks, but my friend thought it was a little oily at the end. Then I remembered that when I was serving it before, the other party asked if I wanted to add some oil, and I said yes anyway.”

Juice is 10 yuan a cup, and mango is especially recommended. Avocado is also called butter fruit. Their family uses pure juice without adding water, so the price of avocado juice is outrageous. Just drink more as long as you can hold it. Red bean cakes are also good”

D了个Y:“I found this place after reading the reviews. It can be said that I came here because of its reputation. The store is located on a snack street. There are cars parked on both sides. It is very popular. They mainly cook crabs. The name is. They all have low tables and small stools. Scan the code to order. Crabs should be a must-order for every table. I ordered a plate of smashed cucumber. One word: spicy. Two words: very spicy. I really couldn't eat a second bite. Later, I asked the store to change it. I removed the chili and added vinegar. It was still spicy. I decisively gave up. I ordered a plate of clams. There was a lot of mud and sand, and the taste was also average. Let's talk about their main attraction. The crabs are not big. The cooking method is conventional. The ingredients are fresh. The taste is average. There is no surprise, but it is not bad. The overall feeling is that it is a very down-to-earth store with a great atmosphere of fireworks, the environment, and the dishes are average.”
