Ruili
 Capital of the subtropical frontier county of Ruili,
Ruili Town lies on the east bank of the golden Ruili River, Whence
comes her name.
People call Ruili "the foggy town". In winter, she wakes up under a
blanket of fog. In the afternoon, when the sun had burned away the
fog, the streets swarmed with women in their bright parasols held over
their heads. At a local market along the main street, Dai women offer
slices of watermelon for sale and colorful silks and yarns.
Ruili is a beautiful land covered by green subtropical rain forest,
dotted with big Banyan trees, each one looking like a forest. Buddhist
temples can be seen everywhere in this city. The most famous temple is
Jiele Golden Temple composed of 17 a ring - shaped towers. The main
tower is 36 meters high, surrounded by 16 other smaller towers.
