The "dangerous" county seat on top of a mountain in Yunnan, surrounded on both sides by canyons, never floods here.

The area of ​​our country is very large. Once a group sang a song about land of our Motherland. In Mohe, where there are heavy snowfalls, Kashgar is farthest west, where a strong wind turns circles.

Besides this, it also mentioned various landforms on land of Motherland, which is enough to see diversity of landforms in our country, and differences are still very large. There are also many cities in our country, and because of different landforms, cities are built in different places: some are built on very flat plains, others are built on rocks, and still others are built along rivers in valleys.

In southwestern mountainous area of ​​our country, because the terrain there is very high and there are many mountains, people have built many strange-shaped villages and counties in accordance with peculiar terrain . Some counties there are very narrow, such as Yanjin County in Zhaotong, which is very narrow, and some are built in a canyon between two mountains.

This is a real first-class city under two mountains and one river. There is also a city with a very unusual topography - Luchun County in Yunnan Province, only city in our country where all county cities are located on top of a mountain.

1. Horse Riding City - Honghe County

Has anyone seen a village built halfway up mountain? A long time ago there were many such villages: if people were very close to mountains, they looked for food in mountains, if they were very close to water, they looked for food from water. So some people built houses along water, while others built houses on hills.

In our country's Yunnan Province, there is such a city built along a mountain, and this is Honghe County. According to stories of older generation, reason why this city could be built was because it was carried piece by piece on back of a horse, so it is also a city on mounted strong >.

A long time ago there were traces of human habitation. Although there are rivers at foot of mountain, due to natural disasters such as landslides, people have to build houses on higher ground so slowly. Slowly, people built many houses on side of mountain, and this place turned into a small town.

Although people live in mountains, time goes by, there are roads, and people's lives are getting better and better. At end of Qing Dynasty, our country gradually began to trade with people from other foreign countries, and this place became a very important place.

From here a lot of people leave for other countries, and with increase of traders, this place has become a very dangerous place, where there are many cavalry gangs, they want to protect themselves at home, built a castle on top of mountain, able to withstand external enemies .

Because there are manymountains in this area, there are very few fields available for planting crops. Local residents earn money from ore mining, but this income cannot feed a large family. for a living, more people joined caravan to let horses carry our things to sell them in other areas and make a high profit. Therefore, this place is also called Old Caravan City.

Secondly, administrative center of district on top of mountain is Lvchunsky district

1. Grandpa Zhou named him

This place was not originally called that, but was called Lucun, commonly known as Dongyang. In late 1950s, when county center was built here, our grandfather Zhou gave it a very beautiful name, so why did we choose this name?

Mainly because there are a lot of trees here, and planting area is very wide. At same time, scenery here is very beautiful, and air is also very good. The temperature here is always same as in spring throughout year., so Zhou's grandfather gave it such a name at that time, which means that there are beautiful mountains and rivers here, and it's like spring all year round.

2. The risk factor is very high

This small town was built on crest of a mountain. Due to features of relief, it looks very long and narrow. So why was it built on a mountain? And why do you say that he is very dangerous?

The surroundings of this place are very high mountains, and middle part is much higher than surrounding places. Another thing is that northeast of this place is much higher than southwest, >There are almost no flat places, so people there can only build houses on hills.

And only road connects top and foot of mountain. Over time, in order to provide local residents with a safer living environment, local managers launched a major project to level mountain and fill in valley. This has caused the soil around county center to become very loose.

Once natural disasters occur, they will pose a threat to people's lives and property, therefore, for safety of people, the county has taken many protective measures, among which there are many safety bolts to prevent landslides, and also they are chained.

People there said they were more comfortable living at top of mountain than at bottom of mountain, so they didn't want to move.
