Located in the central part of China's Yunnan Province, Eshan Yi Autonomous County is the first Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province and belongs to Yuxi City. With a total area of 1,972 square kilometers and a population of about 150,000, the Yi ethnic group accounts for more than half of the total population, making it an important birthplace and gathering area of Yi culture in China.
The landscape of Eshan is predominantly mountainous, with rich forest resources and a mild climate with an average annual temperature of 16°C. There are natural landscapes in the area, such as the Gaoxiang 10,000-acre Ecological Tea Mountain and the Jinping Mountain Scenic Area. The Yi Torch Festival is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, and a grand celebration is held on the 24th day of the 6th lunar month every year, attracting many tourists.
