Dehong - A Place Where Spring-like Weather Are All Year Round

There is no winter here, but it has blue sky, green land and hills, clear water and beautiful people! The mirror-like Ruili River flows through Dehong gently, with fertile cropland beside the two banks and surrounded by trees and bamboos in Dai villages. What a picturesque scenery! In here you will see fancy tropical rain forest landscape and the so called "one tree forming a forest". 

You will experience colorful ethnic customs and distinctive ethnic buildings. 

Dehong is surrounded by Myanmar at north, west and south, linked with Myanmar by mountains, rivers and villages. 

 Ethnic customs are layered with exotic atmosphere in Dehong. 

There are some exotic foods you might never seen or eaten before but you will definitely miss their flavor. 

It is the border between China and Myanmar - Dehong Dai Nationality Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan!

It is hard to tell the beauty of Dehong in words. But you could come and experience Dehong’s uniqueness. 

 

The majestic Daying River not only depicts the beautiful scenery, but also the cultural history of the people living here for ages. 

Its upstream branch - Binglang River is a rushing stream roaring down to hundreds of miles of land between the high mountains with rocks lying in, making the river even more majestic. At the middle and lower reaches, the river is rippling gently between green trees and bamboos along the land with rich soil and industrious people. One bamboo punt-pole and one bamboo raft flow down on the river, reflecting an ideal mood of "one bamboo raft flowing on the river, one man travelling in the picture".

Maury Tropical Rainforest

Walking into Murray, thousands of species of tropical and subtropical plants blocking the sky, you can see the hundred-year-old huge vines as a "hammock", the cruel "killer tree" as the "tropical cold-blooded killer", the thousand-year-old ancient ferns and ten thousand year old ancient fossils as thick textbooks.

Pine standing and arming into sky, deep and cold forest blocking the sky. Light flower fragrance coming out, fall water coming down. 

Walking in the rain forest in the dark for a long time, you will hear ambiguous sound of dropping water. When you move on to the end of the canyon, the sound will be loudly like thunder. Views suddenly come in front your eyes, and you will see a huge waterfall pouring down from a 60 meters high cliff. "Fall water like cotton, scatter without bows." That is the Maury Falls!
