Ruili info

Anyone have any info on Ruili?

I'm planning on going there, I hear there are minority villages nearby and some cool hikes.

If anyone has been out there I'd love some advise. A map would be ideal, but I know that's asking a lot of China.

China has fairly robust digital maps - but they're typically in Chinese. Google and Apple have reasonable detailed maps of Chinese cities and major interconnections (highways, freeways). Digital maps require your phone/gps be well charged with spare batteries. If you use a phone's GPS - just use it for occasional location checking, then turn it off or it'll suck up your battery.

For paper maps, check out the foreign language bookstores around wenlinjie. The larger Chinese chain bookstores may also have bilingual maps - but you'll have to ask the librarian/assistant.
