Yuxi, located in the center of Yunnan Province, is the core city of the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, named after the "Jade Creek" with "a big river circling around the front and mountains towering behind". As the hometown of musician Nie Er, the city is rich in humanities and ethnic minorities. Yuxi's most prestigious is Fuxian Lake, China's largest deep-water freshwater lake, with crystal clear water, known as "Jasper in Dianzhong", and natural wonders such as the Luchong Scenic Area and Cherry Blossom Valley hidden among the lake and mountains. The climate is pleasant, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer, and an average annual temperature of 15.6℃, making it an ideal recreational resort. In addition, Yuxi is also the "Hometown of Cloud Tobacco", where the Hongta Group originated, and where the tobacco industry is intertwined with highland specialty agriculture (e.g. blueberries and flowers). The combination of natural beauty, humanistic charm and industrial innovation makes Yuxi a preferred destination for tourism and leisure vacation in central Yunnan.
