Smoky and fragrant, this is the first impression of Yuxi, Yunnan. Yuxi is one of the largest tobacco producing areas in China and the first city in China to win the title of "China cigarette town". Walking in the streets of Yuxi, signs and advertisements marked "Yuxi Smoke" can be seen everywhere. It can be said that in many people's minds, the popularity of cigarettes is higher than Yuxi itself.

Yuxi tobacco has a long history. As early as the Ming Dynasty, tobacco crops were planted here and later developed into the largest tobacco producing area in Yunnan. For more than 300 years, tobacco has been the main economic source of Yuxi. Today, Yuxi has become the largest tobacco and tobacco-making industrial base in China, and the cigarette industry has been deeply integrated into the blood of this city, enjoying the same glory as Yuxi.
