Mengjinglai: Dai sugar-making and weaving on the Myanmar border
Near Daluo, Menghai County
Mengjinglai is a Dai village of more than 200 households about 2 km from Daluo town, listed as a national traditional village and still farmed and lived in. Stilt houses, wells and temples sit among the paddies, and families keep up crafts such as sugar-making, weaving and papermaking. It lies by the Daluo River, with Myanmar on the far bank.
What locals sayMost visitors treat it as the far end of a Menghai day trip, worth it for the crafts and the border view rather than as an untouched village.
