Where is Yinjiang County! What are the characteristics?

Yinjiang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County is located in the northeast of Guizhou and the west of Tongren Prefecture. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is a big slope belt that transits to the hills of western Hunan and Sichuan Basin.

Yinjiang was called Qiongjiang in ancient times. In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Si County and Jones County were established on this land. In the seventh year of Ming Hongzhi, Yinjiang County was established. 1986, the State Council approved the establishment of Yinjiang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County. According to legend, it is an interesting story to change from "Qiongjiang" to "Yinjiang". It is said that when local officials reported the political situation of Yinjiang to the emperor, the emperor didn't pay attention for a moment, and he recognized the word "Qiongjiang" as "Yinjiang" and blurted it out. The emperor spoke carefully, so the history of China was written as "Yinjiang".

The total area of the county 1969 square kilometers. "Eight mountains, one water and one field" is a typical agricultural county in mountainous areas. Fan Jing, a national nature reserve located in the east of the county seat, is a member of the World Man and Biosphere Network, one of the five famous Buddhist mountains in China, the only Maitreya Dojo and the only oasis on the Tropic of Cancer.

The total population of the county is 420,000, and Tujia and Miao people account for more than 70% of the total population. Tujia people call themselves "Bizka", and there are national festivals such as "Tujia New Year", "June 6th" and "Tujia Daughter's Party", and there are unique folk activities such as Tujia waving dance, Tujia money pole and Tujia red coffin burial.
