Construction will begin on the Yuxi section of the Sino-Myanmar gas pipeline in July 2011 in Yunnan Province.

The in-Myanmar section of the Sino-Myanmar gas pipeline is 793 kilometers. In-China section is 1,726.8 kilometers, including 1 main line and 8 branches which are 855.6 kilometers.

A market research team has already made the last multidirectional survey on gas requirement in Yuxi City. About 180 million cubic meters of gas will be required in Yuxi’s urban areas in 2015, and 300 million cubic meters in 2020.

The pipeline of Yuxi section is expected to be put into operation in June 2013. A total of 132-kilometer gas pipelines are expected to be constructed by then, covering 50 square kilometers.

Environmental impact of gas pipelines linking Anning, Yuxi, Meng and Wenshan have been assessed in 2011. The construction of Anning section has been launched since September 2010.

Anning, about 28 kilometers away from Kunming, is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Kunming Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

Yuxi, about 90 kilometers away from Kunming, is a prefecture-level city in the Yunnan province.

Mengzi is a county-level city in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan.

Wenshan is an autonomous prefecture in Yunnan.

Sino-Burma pipelines refer to planned oil and natural gas pipelines linking Burma's deep-water port of Kyaukphyu (Sittwe) in the Bay of Bengal with Kunming in Yunnan province of China. They will run in parallel and start near Kyaukphyu, run through Mandalay, Lashio, and Muse in Burma before entering China at the border city of Ruili in Yunnan province. The oil pipeline, which eventually terminates in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, will be 771 kilometres (479 mi) long. The natural gas pipeline will extend further from Kunming to Guizhou and Guangxi in China, running a total of 2,806 kilometres (1,700 mi).
