One Village Two Countries (Yinjing)
一寨两国
The China–Myanmar border runs through the middle of a village. The Dai houses, swings, and wells of Yinjing in China and Mangxiu in Myanmar straddle the line.
The One Village, Two Countries scenic area lies in Yinjing Village, Longdao Town, about 10 km southwest of Ruili city. The China–Myanmar border runs through the middle of the village. The Chinese side calls it Yinjing and the Burmese side calls it Mangxiu. Dai villagers in the same village speak the same language and visit one another as relatives. The site features Boundary Marker No. 71, “One Well, Two Countries,” “One Swing, Two Countries,” and Dai houses that straddle the border. You can take photos on either side of the marker, but you may not enter the Burmese village without permission. Admission varies, so check on-site. A visit takes about one hour, and it can be combined with nearby Hanshazang Temple.
