Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture
Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture is an autonomous prefecture in northwestern Yunnan, China. The eponymous ethnic group is the Lisu people, who make up nearly half of the prefecture's population.
The prefecture is long and narrow, with an area of 14,585 square kilometers and a total population of 552,700. By the end of 2024, the resident population of the prefecture was 532,000, including 293,000 in urban areas and 239,000 in rural areas. The capital of the prefecture is located in Liuku Town, Lushui City. Nujiang Prefecture is the only Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in China, with the Lisu ethnic group accounting for about 51% of the population, and a number of other ethnic minorities, including the Bai, Nu, Pumi and Dulong, living in the prefecture.
Economically, due to geographic constraints, the incidence of poverty in Nujiang was once as high as 56%, which is at a backward level in both China and Yunnan Province, and is one of the "Three Regions and Three Prefectures" in China that are extremely poor. Because of its location in the Hengduan Mountains, Nujiang has the natural wonder of "Three Parallel Rivers", which was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Natural Heritage List in 2003.
It is named after the Nujiang river (the longest undammed river in Southeast Asia) and the Lisu ethnic group.
The seat of the prefecture is Liuku Town, Lushui.
The prefecture is subdivided into four county-level divisions: one county-level city, one county, and two autonomous counties:
According to the 2020 Census, Nujiang has 534,337 inhabitants with a population density of 33.45 inhabitants/km2.
The Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture borders the Kachin prefecture of Myanmar to the west, with a national border of 450 kilometers. It is bordered by Nyingchi (Linzhi) City of Tibet Autonomous Region in the north, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province in the east and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in the south. Located in the canyon area of the Hengduan Mountains, the Salween River (Nujiang) passes through from north to south, from which the name of the prefecture is derived. It forms part of the Three Parallel Rivers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
