Ruili’s Hornbill Night Market Becomes Cross-Border Star-Meet Spot

At the Hornbill Night Market, Chinese and Burmese cultures blend seamlessly, making it the most vibrant spot in Ruili. Many Burmese vendors run stalls here, while migrant workers from Myanmar come to seek hometown flavors and soothe their homesickness. Burmese internet-famous couple SEIN PHYO & YI visited to document the daily lives of their compatriots in China, only to be recognized by sharp-eyed fans who lined up for photos—turning the night market into an instant "celebrity meet-and-greet."
