玉溪 Yuxi, Yunnan
The ancient civilization took place quietly beside the lake. The historic relics of Maotian Mountain in the Cambrian Period have been soundly asleep for over one hundred million years. The civilization of the bronze wares of Lijia Mountain witnessed the developing progress of the human being in the Dian Kingdom. Under the green mountain peak, the ancient scene is mingling with the vogue. Xiu Mountain, the finest mountain in the south of Yunnan, is permeated with the historic cultures in the ancient buildings, landscapes, and literature work.
Dayingjie, “No. 1 village in Yunnan”, is displaying an ideally happy life for people. From Ailao Mountain to Red River Valley, there are too many mysterious views and strange folk customs unknown to people. Too many mysteries are hidden in the primeval forests. It is like the summer all the year round in Red River Valley, and the flowers flourishing and fruit innumerable. Huayao Dai embodies the nobility of the descendants of the imperial court in the Dian Kingdom. Hani People carved the magnificent masterpiece of the earth.
Yuxi during the Qin Dynasty (before 221 BC) was the heart of Yunnan. During the Western Han (206 BC – 24 A.D.) the region became part of the Yizhou county. In subsequent dynasties, its history has been quite difficult. Only in 1997, it has become a prefecture.
Over 36% of the inhabitants of Yuxi prefecture belong to ethnic minorities. The most represented group is Yi, even if there are large communities of Hani and Dai, especially in the southern counties.
Since most parts of Yuxi Prefecture belong to the subtropical inland plateau climate, the best tour time is in summer and autumn.
