Baoshan

A famed borderland city in western Yunnan, popular for Tengchong's volcanic hot springs, the ancient town of Heshun and sites from the War of Resistance against Japan.

Baoshan lies in western Yunnan, traversed by the Gaoligong Mountains and the Nu River (Salween), and borders Myanmar to the west. It has long been a key stop on the Southwest Silk Road. Tengchong is the main tourist hub, known for the Volcano and Geothermal National Geopark, the Rehai (Hot Sea) hot springs, the ancient town of Heshun, Beihai Wetland and the Ginkgo Village. The National Martyrs' Cemetery records the history of the War of Resistance in western Yunnan, and the Gaoligong Mountains are rich in biodiversity. The climate is mild, and autumn and winter, when the ginkgo trees turn golden and the weather is clear, are the best times to visit. Baoshan Yunrui Airport and Tengchong Tuofeng Airport are the air gateways, and the Baoshan section of the Dali–Ruili Railway is open.
