Yanjin County, County administrative division in Zhaotong, China.
Yanjin County sits in northeastern Yunnan Province at 1,160 meters (3,806 feet) elevation across mountainous terrain. The 1,416 square kilometer (547 square mile) area is crossed by the Heng River and divided into six towns and four townships.
The Bo people established settlements here during the Qin Dynasty, forming the region's earliest population. The county received its official name in 1917, marking the beginning of its modern administrative structure.
Han Chinese and Yi people living here celebrate festivals tied to harvest times and seasonal transitions. These traditions shape the local calendar and bring communities together throughout the year.
The administrative divisions are connected by local roads providing access to accommodations, markets, and public services. Visitors should prepare for mountainous terrain and variable weather, particularly during rainy seasons.
Buildings in urban areas are constructed on tall support structures designed to prevent flooding from the Heng River. This distinctive building method reflects how people adapted to the area's geography and water risks.
