Dehong comes from the Dai ethnic dialect. De means down, Hong means Nongjiang River, so the name means a place downstream from the Nujiang River.

The Dehong autonomous prefecture is located in west Yunnan province. It is a mysterious and charming place with blue sky, green land and mountains, crystal-clear water and kind people.

Winters here are not cold and the summers are not hot. Flowers blossom all year round.

Although Dehong is not as famous as Kunming, Lijiang or Dali, it stands quietly along the southwest border of China, hidden in mountains and forests and has maintained its original appearance for thousands of years.
