Qujing is located in the east of Yunnan province,the city of Qujing has been a strategic location in Yunnan since ancient times.

It is often referred to as the key to entering Yunnan. From the ShuHan Kingdom (AD221--263) to the early Tang Dynasty, it was the political, economic, and cultural center of the province.

Today Qujing is located only 157 km from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Its railways and highways radiate in all directions making transportation to and communications with other areas very convenient.

Qujing boasts of its being the source of the Zhujiang River,the largest one in the south of China. In the scenic area near the source of Zhujiang River, the landscape is densely wooded with lush forests, which cover gently rolling hills, while Camellias and Azaleas bloom everywhere. Huashan Lake, clear, bright and quiet, seems boundless and vast.

The Sand Colored Forest in Luliang has numerous colorful and lofty peaks. At the Fork of Three Rivers, water flows across the forest, while the forest rises above the water. The Waterfall of Nine Dragons is a series of stones within the river (the largest is 114 meters wide, 57 meters high). Ancient fish fossils from Xiaoxiang Lake date back to 42 billion years and are believed to be some of the earliest in the world. The Cuanbaozi Stele in the city of Qujing is a priceless treasure in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
