Get unprecedented access to China's drug cops at a key checkpoint near the Myanmar/China border where they're in full flight. Pulling over cars and buses targeting suspicious characters and unlikely drug mules alike.
On one tour bus that's just crossed in from what we used to call Burma, the team clambers aboard checking bags, compartments and asking rapid-fire questions. Soon a woman with a young child emerges with the officers. She's carrying a plastic shopping bag containing a handful of condoms filled with Ice -- the super-charged methamphetamine that's infiltrating China's party scene and that's being shipped out to more lucrative international destinations like Australia.

China & Myanmar
Pagodas, people, places. Rum, rain, rice. Buddhas, beers, backpacks.
A two month journey with my friend Emilio Scozzafava through China and Myanmar with 30 litre backpacks summed up into one 8 minute video. Thanks to everyone along the way who made the trip ace, and put up with me trying to video stupid things every day. The first half of the video shows China, the second half Myanmar, with some mixed montage bookends.

Special thanks to Zouba Tours ( for arranging everything in this video. I paid for this tour (it’s not sponsored), but I think they did a great job, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the tour.
Luxi who was our guide also has a cooking school called Rice and Friends ( - we’ll visit her cooking school on Day 3 of this series.
Ok, now onto the info about this Chinese street food tour in Yunnan:
Xizhou, China
On Day 1, we drove from Dali Old Town to Xizhou, another ancient town near Dali, that’s known for some famous Chinese street food snacks.
We started for breakfast with a thick pea porridge and a pea pudding salad. The grandmother serving had been making these same dishes since she was a child with her mother. The breakfast was warming and delicious, and it hit the spot in the morning.
Total price - 8 RMB ($1.20)
Xizhou Baba - Probably the most famous Chinese street food you have to try in Xizhou is baba, which is also sometimes known as a Chinese pizza. It’s a round of dough that’s mixed with lard and meat, or the sweet version, and baked in a unique street oven using charcoal. Part of the fun is watching it being made. Then of course, eating it is absolutely delicious.
Price - 10 RMB ($1.50) per piece
Yunnanese cheese - Next up in Xizhou we went to watch a local Yunnanese Cheese demonstration. Yunnan is one of the few places in China where there is a cheese culture - some say it was brought over with the Mongols. We made some local cheese, then put it out to dry, then they let us sample some different types of the prepared cheese. Price - 8 RMB ($1.20)
Yi He Zhuang (怡和庄) Restaurant - This Yunnanese ethnic Bai Chinese food meal was the highlight of my day. We had an absolute feast of a meal, including a few unique Chinese dishes like raw pig sashimi and pine needle salad. Everything was colorful, using natural ingredients and the flavors were spectacular. This meal is one I’ll never forget.
Total price - 215 RMB ($32.41)
Dali Old Town - It was a long day of delicious Chinese food, and in the evening we drove back to Dali Old Town and headed out for dinner.
Duan’s Kitchen - For dinner we were back in Old Town Dali, and my friend Frank from Zouba Tours mentioned that Duan’s Kitchen was a little touristy, but he said we needed to try it because the food was amazing and they are doing some unique things. The food was outstanding, and my favorite dish was the chicken braised in chili oil with pu’er tea.
Total price - 180 RMB ($27.14)

BORDER TOWNS HOPE FOR BETTER TRADE
(22 Jun 2012) LEAD IN
People in border towns in the southwest of China are watching Myanmar's political reforms, hoping they might mean a brighter economic future for them.
But with Myanmar's political future still unstable nothing is certain.
STORYLINE
Money changes hands rapidly in this market in the southwestern corner of China, a sign of the booming times.
The border between Myanmar and the Chinese province of Yunnan has witnessed an increased in wealth over decades of trade - both legal and illegal.
Timber, jade and drugs are just some of the goods which pass over the border.
Now, China's main trading gateway to its long-isolated neighbour Myanmar is hoping for a new boom.
Cars and trucks with black Myanmar plates trickle across the border checkpoint, hauling televisions and computers, construction materials and household goods for which there are in fact only few buyers.
Along the river, lush golf courses and luxury villas show there are gold-rush expectations.
A sprawling 16 billion yuan (2.5 billion US dollar), five-star resort is rising above the city, the showcase of one local tycoon.
In fields along a still-uncompleted motorway stand stacks of big black pipes for a 770 kilometre (480 mile) pipeline to carry Middle East gas and oil shipped through the Indian Ocean from Myanmar to thirsty Chinese industries far to the east.
South East Asia political researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing, Professor Du Jifeng, says the opening of Myanmar could be both good and bad for China.
The economic opening of Myanmar, for China, is an opportunity as well as a challenge. With the gradual opening, Myanmar will provide a better environment for investment. It will create more opportunities for Chinese companies. In terms of the challenges, we will have to see if Chinese companies are able to adapt themselves to the new circumstances. See if they can compete with the western companies, if they have advantages. This is going to bring a big challenge.
But in the border town of Ruili, the gem and jewelry markets and electronics and household goods stalls are almost deserted.
Jade vendor Huang Shishou says business is very slow.
Business? There is no business. In the last times the prices have dropped around a 40 percent or so. Before we would sell a stone for around 10,000 yuan (1570 US dollars) and now we are happy to sell it for just 5,000 to 6,000 yuan (785 - 942 US dollars). There's no people buying now.
The economic depression stretching from crisis-stricken Europe all the way to the remotest corners of China is partly to blame.
Fierce fighting between Myanmar forces and the Kachin ethnic minority in the north of the country, which was known as Burma until 1989, is also putting a damper on their border trade.
The robust trade with China that brought wealth to Ruili is also bringing a backlash.
As Myanmar's government reaches out to foreign investors, and tentatively opens its markets, it is also reassessing ties with the Chinese, who for years provided succour to Myanmar's reviled generals while amassing ever greater economic influence, as Du Jifeng explains.
Before, when Myanmar and Western countries were not in good terms, China was a donor country for Myanmar. But when some projects lead by China confronted environmental or forced relocation problems, and they were not dealt according to international standards, the ordinary Burmese people showed a great dissatisfaction.
The tensions became evident last year in Myanmar's decision to cancel the Myitsone hydropower dam on the Irrawaddy River, which the project's contractor, China Power International Corp., is lobbying to have resurrected.
Du Jifeng says it has hit trade between the countries.
He says business is not good.

Because They're Worth It
Internationally, the definition for absolute poverty is living on an income of under a dollar a day. But the Chinese government has a lower threshold: the definition for poverty in China is living on 66 cents a day. Out of a total Chinese population of 1.3 billion, there are 42 million Chinese who are poor. This episode of Life looks at a scheme which is helping poor people break out of the cycle of poverty and ignorance - by providing them with small loans, basic health information and education - and hope. In Wang San Ping village, near the Chinese border with Burma, in the south west of Yunnan province, Yu Gui Hua and her friend Hu Zang Hua have used their loans from the scheme to build plastic greenhouses to grow vegetables all year round. They've repaid the first loans, and have even more ambitious plans for the second loan they're going to take out: this time, Yu Gui Hua has her sights set on a guest house, a car park - even a restarurant. But the microcredit scheme, funded by Unicef in China, does more than help women on to the first, vital step of the economic ladder, it aslo helps them gain friends, basic knowledge on how to run a business - and, crucially, self-esteem. As 83-year old Ji Ki Ren Di, a woman from the Bai Yi caste in Mei Gu, a clan-based slave society until 1956, sums her situation up: I was born a slave and was forced to live in a grass shed...Now we live in a solid house. I don't think that I can live much longer, but I have lived long enough to see my family free. Now every day is a little better...
