“Jiegao” in Dai language, means “old city”, which passed down since between Yuan and Ming (13-14th century), when the LuChuan King built a capital in this area, hence its name. During the Anti-Japanese War, a temporary airport was built here and there were very often takeoffs and landings of the U.S. aircrafts delivering munitions and supplies. It is located in the urban Ruili about 4 km southeast of the Ruili River, with a total area of 2.4 square kilometers closely linked to the state level port—Mujie of Myanmar in the East, south and north.
