Tropical Rain Forest, Moli

Reviewed By ZhongguoKM - Kunming, China

It's not easy to get to this park now because the road is under construction. You may encounter delays of up to 30 minutes in each direction once you turn off the highway. It's also quite dusty on this little road, which runs along the river. But I though it was worth the effort overall.
It's a beautiful tropical park built in a mountainous area. A Buddhist shrine is near the entrance, as is a water wheel, a bit further in. Long winding path with lots of stairs crosses brooks and streams on the approach to the waterfall. The views here a quite serene and the atmosphere is pleasant. Temperatures cooler because of the dense foliage.
The waterfall itself is attractive, but I think the path through the forest and across the brooks is just as nice as the waterfall itself. Need to allow about an hour for a leisurely walk from the entrance to the falls. Thirty or forty minutes to walk back if you are taking it slow with stops for photos.
Admission to the park was 50 Yuan. Discounts available for students and the elderly. It is located between Ruili and Wanding.

Strikingly beautiful banyan trees in a "Burma-Like" setting. Well worth stopping for a look if you have not already seen a lot of these trees before.
Inside the grounds there is also an orchard where dragon fruit is grown. Some vendor stalls have beautiful wood goods and textiles for sale, as well as the jade that this area is known for.
Admission is 10 Yuan.

This is a crossing point mainly for locals and truckers, not for tourists. Trucks hauling watermelons in from Myanmar were plentiful as Myanmar watermelons are sweet and much sought after in Chinese fruit markets. Saw hundreds of watermelon trucks along the nearby roads.
This bridge is fairly new, but it is built just beside an older wooden bridge that has historical significance. Some photos are displayed that discuss WW2 battles fought nearby.

玉石无价,其水太深。街本身名副其实,一整条街都是卖各种珠宝玉石之类的,又便宜也有贵的。但老话说玉石无价,这些如果不是内行之人还是到正规的珠宝店去买,否则风险太大

I've seen plenty of finished jade jewelry, but didn't know the process of how large raw stones are taken in and cut. One can get an easy overview here. There is a store attached, but no high pressure sales tactics are applied.

假如瑞丽是今天中国西南的桥头堡,那么畹町就是昔日中国西南的桥头堡。
当然,还是会有人以为「史迪威公路」中国段终点是瑞丽,或是以为当年周恩来总理经瑞丽从缅甸回国。
九谷桥固然是畹町旅游的重点。然而,畹町不只有九谷桥一个景点。所以这篇点评介绍的是畹町旅游。
当然,一天已足够在畹町来个深度游。

交通
芒市和保山有定时班车来往畹町。
瑞丽没有班车前往。但是,客运站对面、兴安路与南卯路交界和瑞宏路与姐岗路交界等地点都可拼小面包车前往。每人10元,一般是3人或以上发车。

畹町——九谷桥
旧的那座叫畹町桥,新建的叫畹町——九谷桥。
畹町桥在1938年初建,抗战后期被炸毁,不久后修复,1979年曾进行加固。
畹町桥一夜成名的原因,是在1956年12月15日,出访缅甸的周恩来总理与缅甸总理吴巴瑞由畹町桥入境,前往芒市出席参加中缅边民联欢会。
对,不是瑞丽。
挨着畹町桥的畹町——九谷桥在1993年初建成,是现在进出中国畹町和缅甸九谷、邦赛的要道。
桥的前方有一座纪念碑。右方是一间免税店。挨着免税店的是海关。海关对面是边检站。
畹町桥旁边有一座「滇缅、中印(史迪威)公路交汇点」的碑。
对,不是瑞丽。
畹町客运站下车后直走1分钟,右方便是畹町——九谷桥。

国防街
国防街与民主街交界以南,是畹町——九谷桥、客运站、边检站、中国银行,新华书店等。
交界点有一个小广场,广场前方有一座写着「畹町市」的碑,碑的旁边有一些买水果和熟食的小商贩。三轮摩的也多在这里守候。
交界以北有点萧瑟。不过,喜欢历史的人则不可错过这条街。
右方是勐拱翡翠的总部,左方是总店。据说勐拱翡翠把交界以北的地都买下来了,配合政府,准备发展「抗战博览一条街」。
注意,前者是道听途说,后者是千真万确。
一个勐拱翡翠的职员告诉我,总店有一个价值9800万的笔筒,和一个价值9800万的手镯。看到看不到看缘份,因为它们多被借到各地的加盟店展出。
过了勐拱翡翠的总部,是原国际邮件互换站和原民国中央银行畹町分行。
这里待修复,可随便参观。共三层楼,部份有火烧痕迹。原民国中央银行畹町分行后面是勐拱翡翠的员工宿舍。

畹町中缅友好纪念馆
原民国中央银行畹町分行的对面有一个小巷,即正阳路,沿上坡路走,经过公安局,右方便是纪念馆。(另外,这里一些街道牌也很有历史感!)
建于1956年,原本是周恩来总理和吴巴瑞总理举行中缅边民联欢会的会场。当年为了办那个联欢会,中央直拨了5万元给畹町政府,建了两座楼。
但是,据说由于受在滇缅的国军游击队的暗杀威胁,所以临时改在芒市举行。(当年在芒市举行联欢会的大楼已经被拆掉。)大楼便成了两位总理路过畹町的休息站。过了正午便直奔芒市。
而今,一座成了纪念馆,免费开放。另一座的外墙披上了暗黄色的外衣,座落在畹町党部旁,下层还在用,二楼则锁了。奉劝诸君,如非必要,请勿摄影,后果自负。
纪念馆有一个牌子写着开放时间是朝9晚6。但是,一般来说,开门关门的阿姨早上10时半到馆,中午回家吃饭,下午4时半关门。毕竟,她只是一名义工。

南洋华侨机工回国抗日纪念碑
沿正阳路继续上坡,便是南洋机工纪念碑。纪念碑由南洋机工后裔、恒昌国际(集团)有限公司董事长林晓昌出资兴建,于2005年初奠基,是为纪念抗战期间从缅甸、马来亚等南洋国家回国服务滇缅公路的华侨。
从这个平台,可以远眺中国畹町、缅甸九谷和邦赛的景色。
纪念碑下方是侨领陈嘉庚像;后方是机工名单和有关纪念碑的资料;右方准备建一间纪念馆。

畹町国家森林公园
纪念碑左方1分钟路程便是畹町国家森林公园的正阳门。老实说,整个公园都很破落,连正阳门也不例外。(也就是说,不设入场费。)一句话︰不值得去。
不过,这个平台也可远眺小镇景色。
通过正阳门,拾级而上,便是娱乐区。顾名思义,这里曾经有小型娱乐设施。现在都没有了,只剩下数见破落得不能再破落的小屋。其中一间小屋的墙外写着︰抗战到底。
在那个破落的「喷水池」(既不会喷也没有水)后方是写着「1、2、3、4」的仓库。仓库后方有条路,沿泥泞小路走约15分钟便可到达天鹅湖(天鹅水库)。当然这里看不到天鹅,顶多是隔壁放牧的人拖来数只无精打采的牛。
另外,从娱乐区往左方走,可到万佛寺和瞭望塔。

名镇广场
原路下山,经过畹町中缅友好纪念馆,在公安局的叉路右拐,有路便走,最后下楼梯,便会到畹町党部和畹町经济开发区工作委员会的办公大楼,这也就是上文提及过的「另一座大楼」。
再往下走,便是名镇广场。这里其实是一个公园。近大街处有个牌坊。(实话实说,打从拼入瑞丽、成为所谓的经济开发区后,畹町还是一个名镇吗?)

农贸市场
从名镇广场往河边右方的方向走,便是农贸市场。值得玩味的是,这里有一条竹桥,通往缅甸。对岸有一间和平旅游假日酒店。

深度游结束,无须在畹町过夜。
旅游日期︰2010年9月
