Pretty countryside around this usual grimy township.

Heavy soil and steep slopes limit agriculture pretty much to corn, which is fed to pigs.

There is a certain Bai population here, which does not dress, but a number of houses have been build in modern Dali style. The most distinctive ethnic minority are the Miao, who might be taken for Yi.
