Lincang

A tea-growing borderland in southwest Yunnan, known for Wa culture in Cangyuan and its scenic ancient tea gardens.

Lincang lies in southwestern Yunnan and borders Myanmar to the southwest. It is named for its position along the Lancang River, and its terrain is mostly mountainous. It is one of the main Pu'er tea regions, with famous tea mountains such as Fengqing (home of Dianhong black tea) and Bingdao in Shuangjiang. Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County is home to Wengding Wa Village and the Cangyuan Rock Paintings, and Wa culture is strong here. The Mo Ni Hei carnival, held around May 1 each year, is a particular highlight. The climate is mild. Dry, sunny winter and spring are the best times to visit, while summer and autumn are the rainy season. Lincang Boshang Airport and Cangyuan Washan Airport are the air gateways, and the Dali–Lincang Railway connects the city to Dali.
