Jiesiang Gem Street Jiesiang is situated in the central part of the Ruili Basin. It is a transliteration from the Dai language, meaning "Gem Street," and is now the name of both a township and a village. It is said that the Mengmao chieftain and his relatives frequently traveled between Mengmao City and the Leiyun Mountain City, and would always stop here to rest and shop for jewelry at the market to take back for personal use. Later, this former hub for gem trading was given the unique name Jiesiang. Jiesiang is fertile and beautiful, dotted with bamboo stilt houses.
Address: Central part of the Ruili Basin, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province
