Since held in 2001 for the first time, the influence of Sino-Myanmar Carnival of Ruili has been continuously extended, being developed into a major international festival for harmonious gathering of Chinese and Burmese. The main activities include grand performance for the opening ceremony of “Sino-Myanmar Carnival”, Sino-Myanmar Oxcart Selection, Ruili River Girls’ Ethnic Costumes Competition, Treasure Seeking Competition at Nangu River and Border Trade Fair.
