The border area between China and Myanmar is rich in tourism resources and a large number of ethnic minorities live there. The ethnic minority customs are gorgeous. The border area between China and Myanmar has beautiful scenery and rich tropical customs. The tourism poverty alleviation strategy can be implemented and tourism development projects can be established according to local conditions. The development of border tourism between China and Myanmar can not only attract tourists to appreciate the beautiful tropical and subtropical landscapes and feel the simple lifestyle of ethnic minorities, but also promote the development of local economy.
