Zhaotong

In Yunnan province

Zhaotong occupies the rugged northeastern corner of Yunnan, historically the gateway between the province and the Sichuan Basin along the ancient Five-Foot Road. Its cool highland climate makes it Yunnan's leading apple producer. The Dashanbao wetlands host large flocks of endangered black-necked cranes each winter. The mountainous terrain is prone to earthquakes but rich in scenery. For an international student, Zhaotong offers highland nature, crane-watching, and a crossroads of Han, Yi, and Miao cultures.
