Jiegao Port
Jiegao Port is located 4 kilometers southeast of Ruili city center, on the eastern bank of the Ruili River. It covers an area of 1.92 square kilometers and is closely connected to Myanmar’s Muse town. It is the only settlement in Ruili that spans the river, directly linked by land to Myanmar, historically known as an “enclave.” In the past, crossing the river relied solely on bamboo rafts and wooden boats. In 1989, the Jiegao Bridge was built across the river, connecting both sides. In 1991, with approval from the provincial government, the Jiegao Border Trade Economic Zone was established. At the border between China's Marker No. 81 and No. 82, China and Myanmar jointly developed a wide China-Myanmar Trade Street. Rows of newly built ethnic shops and stalls are filled with a dazzling array of daily goods and ethnic handicrafts, creating an impression of a bustling hub of commerce.
50% of Yunnan’s total import and export trade volume passes through this port, making it a national-level border trade port.
