Pu'er City

The homeland of Pu'er tea, with the World Heritage ancient tea forests of Jingmai Mountain and the tropical rainforest scenery of southern Yunnan.

Pu'er City lies in southwestern Yunnan, bordering Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. It is one of Yunnan's larger prefecture-level cities, in a subtropical zone with high forest coverage. Pu'er tea takes its name from the city's historical role as a tea trading hub, and traces of the Ancient Tea Horse Road remain. The Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape in Lancang County is a World Cultural Heritage site, where Bulang and Dai villages sit alongside thousand-year-old tea trees. Around the city proper there are attractions such as Taiyanghe Forest Park. Winter and spring are dry and pleasant, and the spring tea season is especially rewarding. Pu'er Simao Airport and Pu'er Station on the China–Laos Railway are the main gateways.
