La Ying, a village situated between the boundary tablets No. 50 and No. 51 at the border line between China and Myanmar, used to be important passage on the South Silk Road. It’s called “Foreigners Street” by either Chinese or Burmese. The east part of the village belongs to China and the west part to Myanmar; so people vividly call it “a village shared by two countries” (Yi Zhai Liang Guo). A huge banyan tree is growing in the middle of the village that is “divided” by bamboo fences, roads and earth ridges. The villagers from two countries share water from one river, share one street, share one temple and yet share one holy tree.
