Yunnan is the most southwestern province in China, with the Tropic of Cancer running through its southern part. The province has an
area of 394,000 square km, 4.1 % of the nation's total. The province borders Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou Province
in the east, Sichuan Province in the north, and Tibet Autonomous Region in the northwest. It shares a border of 4,060 km with Myanmar
in the west, Laos in the south, and Vietnam in the southeast.

Bordering provinces are Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Bordering countries are Vietnam (the main border crossing by road and
rail is at Hekou - Lao Cai, this is also the only land border crossing open to non-Chinese/non-Vietnamese), Laos (at Boten) and Myanmar
(with the main border crossing at Ruili, this is the only land border open to non-Chinese/non-Burmese).
The highest point in the north is the Kawagebo Peak in Deqin County on the Diqing Plateau, which is about 6,740 meters high; and the
lowest is in the Honghe River Valley in Hekou County, with an elevation of 76.4 meters.

Yunnan abounds in natural resources. It is known as the kingdom of plants, animals and home of non-ferrous metals and medicinal
herbs.

The province not only has more plant species of tropical, subtropical, temperate, and frozen zones than any other province in the
country, but also has many ancient, derivative plants, as well as species introduced from foreign countries. Among the 30,000 species of
plants in China, 18,000 can be found in Yunnan.

Yunnan has sufficient rainfall and many rivers and lakes. The annual water flow originating in the province is 200 cubic kilometers,
three times that of the Yellow River. The rivers flowing into the province from outside add 160 cubic kilometers, which means there are
more than 10,000 cubic meters of water for each person in the province. This is four times the average in the country. The rich water
resources offer abundant hydro-energy.
Yunnan is attractive with its rich tourism resources, including beautiful landscape, colorful ethnic customs, and a pleasant climate.

Yunnan is noted for a very high level of ethnic diversity. It has the highest number of ethnic groups among all provinces and
autonomous regions in China. Among the country's 56 ethnic groups, 25 are found in Yunnan.
