Ruili (瑞丽; Ruìlì) is a city in Yunnan, South-West China, on the border with Myanmar. It is a major border crossing between China and Myanmar, with the town of Muse across the border. During World War II, this was the border point on the Burma Road.
Dehong Mangshi Airport (LUM), with connections to Kunming, is the closest airport.
This town is located at the Chinese-Burmese border. There is much trade in imported goods, notably jade and fabrics. Wooden furniture (sourced from Burmese logs) is also widely available. Cheap souvenirs can also be bought from travelling Burmese merchants in the city, or from the sizeable number of other foreigners present in the city such as Pakistanis and Indians.
Be prepared to bargain hard. Be cautious about fake jade; see Shopping in China.
There are many hotels in Ruili. However, hotels in the city are surprisingly expensive, compared even to provincial capitals. There seem to be no places below ¥300.
