Travel to Lincang (临沧), Yunnan Province, is named after the most important river, the Mekong, Langcang in Chinese.
The region is favored by a warm climate throughout the year and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best climates in Asia.
Scattered around the province there are six great natural reserves, five sites of historical and cultural interest, and six panoramic areas.
It is situated in the middle to lower reaches of the Mekong, known as the Lancang in China, and the Salween, or the Nu.
The perfect co-existence of folk-custom, the culture of Dian-Tea, landscape overseas and forest resources results in the unique tourism resources of Lincang.
