1. Geography and climate

Yunnan Province is located in southwestern China and is its eighth largest province with a total area of 394,000 square kilometres or 4.1 per cent of the country’s landmass. Yunnan shares 4,060 kilometres of border with Myanmar, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Viet Nam. The border with Myanmar spans nearly 2,000 kilometres, while the Yunnan-Lao border covers 710 kilometres and the portion with Viet Nam extends1,350 kilometres. Overland connections with these countries are well developed with 20 roads connecting Yunnan with its three neighbors. Yunnan’s terrain is basically mountainous, with 84 per cent of the country covered by mountains and 10 per cent consisting of highlands. River valleys comprise only 6 per cent of the total land area. The subregion’s major river, the Mekong, is called the Lancang River in China. The climate in Yunnan is characterized by two main seasons: the dry monsoon in winter and a hot, humid monsoon during the summer months. However, climatic variations are found throughout the province because of the differences in elevation and latitude. Tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate conditions are found in various parts of Yunnan.

Why invest in Yunnan Province

With publishing the 10-years overall development plan – Bridgehead Strategy – in January 2013, Yunnan has targeted itself as the important opening economic portal to link China towards Southeast and South Asia, even expand to the Middle East.

Based on the construction of current 5 pillar industries, such as the development of the tourism, tobacco, minerals, agriculture/biological resources, and (hydro) power industries, Yunnan will make increased efforts to step up their development to be more characterized.

Yunnan often proudly presents itself as a ‘green’ province with an equally ‘green’ economy. This means importance is attached to the sustainable development of the region’s bio-resources as well as the protection of its natural environment. The agricultural sector therefore gets a lot of support in the development of e.g. ‘green’ or organic food, but also the production of traditional Chinese medicine, cut flowers and bio-chemicals is being encouraged.

Yunnan’s strategic geographical location towards China’s ASEAN neighbors makes that the province is determined to become a major regional hub, especially with regards to transport, (tele)communications and tourism.

Yunnan Province Natural Resources

Minerals

Renowned as the Kingdom of Non-ferrous Metals, Yunnan has a complete collection and large reserves of various minerals. Of the 168 kinds of minerals discovered in China, 142 ones can be found in Yunnan. The reserves of 54 of these minerals in the Province rank among the top 10 in the country. Moreover, Yunnan comes out in the top three places in China in terms of the reserves of 25 minerals including lead, zinc, tin, phosphorous, copper, and silver. Yunnan is also rich in non-metallic minerals such as limestone, dolomite, halite, marble, and granite.

Energy resource

Energy resource development in Yunnan Province has huge potentials, in particular in the area of hydropower development. Over 600 rivers in 6 water systems across the province hold 222.2 billion cubic meters of water resources in store. The theoretical hydropower reserve is estimated at 103.64 million kilowatts, the exploitable installed capacity amount to more than 90 million kilowatts and the annual generating capacity is up to 394.45 billion kwh.

Yunnan province also enjoys bright prospects for developing its geothermal, solar, wind and other energy resources. For example, with its coal reserve ranking the ninth in the country, Yunnan is an important coal industry base in southern China.

Yunnan has particularly rich geothermal resources with 706 hot springs of different types distributed in 124 counties. About 360 million cubic meters of hot water flow out from these hot springs every year and the thermal power discharged is equivalent to that of burning 118.7 tons of coal. It is next only to Tibet in geothermal resources and thus constitutes an advantage for Yunnan to capitalize on for the development of its tourism as well as thermal energy industries.

Forest resources

Yunnan boasts the largest variety of plant species in China. Of nearly 30,000 species of higher plants in China, 17,000 or 62.9% of the total, can be found in the province, thus giving Yunnan the reputation of being a Kingdom of Plants. 105 varieties of forests are flourishing here, including tropical rainforests, monsoon forests, and virgin forests. More than 4,000 species of trees are found in Yunnan, of which more than 2,700 are arbor species. A full range of tropical, subtropical, temperate, and frigid plants are growing here. Many of them are antique and rare species or species unique to the province. Yunnan is also endowed with particularly rich bamboo resources. There are a total of 200 species of bamboo plants in the province and the total acreage amounts to more than 100,000 ha.

Crops

Besides these, Yunnan has more than 300 varieties of cash crops, including tea, rubber, oil palm, anise, tung tree, cinnamon, and coffee, many of which are unique to the province. Yunnan is also a treasure house of Chinese medicinal herbs. More than 2,000 species of medicinal herbs grow throughout the province, of which 1,250 are herbs in common use. More than 400 are used as raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
