Find a quiet spot in the Dehong Prefecture Cultural Center park. It faces WSW, giving you a clear view of the sun dipping below the horizon. The 19-minute walk from the border town is easy to do in the fading light.

Head to Mangshi Rice Noodle House for a warm bowl of local Mixian. The spicy and sour broth is perfect for cooling down after the evening air. It is open until 21:00, so you have plenty of time to eat.

Walk to Laotian Restaurant for a drink and some sticky rice. Their grilled fish and fresh ingredients offer a nice contrast to the noodles. The restaurant is open until 21:00, making it a safe bet for a late finish.
Local tip
