Ximeng Wa Autonomous County is located in the southwestern part of China's Yunnan Province, belonging to Pu'er City and bordering on Myanmar, and is the core settlement of Wa culture in China. Located in the southern section of the Hengduan Mountains, with an average altitude of about 2,000 meters, Ximeng has a subtropical monsoon climate, with a forest coverage rate of more than 60%, and boasts natural landscapes such as Longtan and Mengshuo Lake. Ximeng is famous for its primitive Wa culture, preserving traditional customs such as wooden drum sacrifices and plagiarizing cows, and the architecture of the county town incorporates elements of Wa totems, which is known as "China's First Eco-City".
The economy is dominated by tea, rubber and sugar cane cultivation, and the specialty Ximeng rice buckwheat is highly respected. Transportation is mainly by highway, about 260 kilometers away from Pu'er city. In recent years, tourism has been developed on the basis of Wa culture (such as the Wooden Drum Dance and the Hair-Shaking Dance) and natural scenery, and important festivals include the New Rice Festival and the Wooden Drum Festival. Ximeng is an important destination for the study of Chinese minority cultures and cross-border tourism.
