Located in the western part of Guizhou Province, bordering Fuyuan and Xuanwei in Yunnan Province, Panxian County is the western gateway of Guizhou and is known as the "Coal Capital". Located at the southern foot of Wumeng Mountain Range, the terrain is mainly highland mountainous, with Wumeng Prairie, Tule Ancient Ginkgo and other natural landscapes, of which Tule Ancient Ginkgo trees are more than 1,000 years old, known as "the home of the world's ancient ginkgo". The city is rich in history and culture, and was the place where the Panxian Conference was held during the Long March of the Red Army, where red culture and modern style are blended. Economically, Panxian once relied on coal resources, but in recent years, it has been actively transforming itself to promote eco-tourism, specialty agriculture (e.g. prickly pear, ham) and other diversified industries, and it is an important trade and logistics node at the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan, combining ethnic flavor and ecological charm.
