I won at mahjong in the border town of Ruili

Traveling in Mangshi, today I drove to the border town of Ruili, where you can feel the atmosphere of Myanmar 🇲🇲 without leaving the country. Accidentally, even my phone's time zone switched to Myanmar's. From Mangshi🚗Ruili, it takes about 1.5 hours, all on the highway, and the road conditions are very 👌🏻 How to spend a day in Ruili❓ 📍Jiele Golden Pagoda: A 🆓 open attraction, you need to take off your shoes to enter, there are very few people, only a handful of locals, and the golden pagoda under the sun is really beautiful ☀️ (Almost no tourists) 📍Jiegao Port: No tickets required, there's a commercial street and a small market within the port area, and right across is 🇲🇲 (Some tourists, but not crowded) 📍One Village Two Countries: 🎫39, you can see many attractions with features of both countries, and a jade stone border is quite unique.

For dining 🍴, you can go to the Myanmar Thai Special Tea Restaurant, which has a very Southeast Asian atmosphere. It's busy at noon but the turnover is quick. The buttered pancakes with fresh milk are super sweet and delicious 👍🏻, and the iced milk tea is rich and I really like it without sugar.
