Exotic experiences in border cities

A China-Myanmar border station in Ruili, Yunnan province. This remote city, nestled in a river valley on the Myanmar border, amassed a large amount of wealth over decades of trade and the smuggling of drugs, timber and jade. It is now China's main trade gateway to its long-isolated neighbor and is waiting for a new boom that may never come. [Photo/icpress]
