Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province with a history of more than 2,400 years. It is the center of politics, economy, culture, science and technology and transportation in Yunnan Province, and it is also a famous historical and cultural city and an excellent tourist city in China.
Kunming is located in the middle of Yunnan Province, with a total area of 216,000 square kilometers, and governs Panlong, Wuhua, Guandu, Xishan, Dongchuan and Anning, as well as Chenggong, Jinning, Fumin, Yiliang, Gaoming, Shilin, Luquan and Xundian.
Kunming's terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the elevation of most areas is between 1500-2800 meters. The highest point of Jiaozi Mountain in Luquan County is 4247 meters above sea level, and the lowest point of Xiaojiang River in Dongchuan District flows into Jinsha River at an altitude of only 695 meters, and the city center is at an altitude of 189 1 meter. The urban area is located in the north of Dianchi Basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides, bordering Dianchi Lake in the southwest, with beautiful lakes and mountains, which is naturally interesting and has a good spatial environment.
Kunming has mountains and lakes. There are two main mountain ranges. The two mountains are dominated by the north-south trend, and the rest of the veins enter the urban area, becoming Jinma Mountain, Bijia Mountain and Snake Mountain. Lakes include Dianchi Lake and Yangzonghai Lake, and rivers include Panlong River, Mantichuan River and Pudu River. Dianchi Lake, located in the southwest of Kunming, is the largest plateau lake in Yunnan Province and the sixth largest freshwater lake in China. Dianchi Lake has beautiful scenery and many scenic spots along the lake, and is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau".
Kunming belongs to the monsoon climate of low latitude plateau mountains. Because it is located in the west of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with low latitude and high altitude, there are mountains such as Wumeng Mountain in the north as a natural barrier to block the cold air in the south. The whole area is mostly affected by the warm and humid air current in the southwest of the Indian Ocean. The plateau lakes Dianchi Lake and Yangzonghai adjust the temperature and humidity, forming a pleasant climate of "no heat in summer and no cold in winter". The annual average temperature is 14.5℃, the hottest monthly average temperature is 19.7℃, the average temperature in Leng Yue is 7.5℃, and the annual average sunshine hours are over 2,400 hours. The average annual precipitation is about l035. Due to the suitable temperature and humidity, long sunshine time, short frost period, good visibility, perennial flowers in full bloom, evergreen vegetation, known as the world's "spring city."
Kunming is rich in natural resources. Mineral resources mainly include phosphorus, salt, iron, titanium, coal, quartz sand, bauxite and silica, among which phosphorus, salt and iron ore are the most abundant. The reserves of phosphate rock rank first among the seven phosphate rocks in China, with a total reserve of 4.6 billion tons, which is of high grade, and most of them can be mined in the open pit. Salt mine reserves rank second in inland salt mines in China, with a total reserve of about 654.38+0.38 billion tons. Bauxite, quartz sand and titanium ore are rich in reserves, which are minerals with great development potential in Kunming.

Kunming history
Kunming has a long history of economic and social development. It is closely related to the formation and evolution of Dianchi Lake. According to archaeological findings, at least 30,000 years ago, the ancient "Kunming people" thrived in Dianchi Lake area, living a primitive life of eating blood and drinking blood and living in caves. 6.5438+0.2 million years ago, the residents around Dianchi Lake began to grow rice and entered the period of primitive agriculture. About 4,000 to 7,000 years ago, there were settled agricultural nationalities in Dianchi Lake Basin, engaged in "slash-and-burn" primitive agriculture and various commercial activities such as fishing and hunting, collecting and raising livestock and poultry, and knew how to spin. 2800 years ago, the area around Dianchi Lake had entered the Bronze Age. In the pre-Qin period, all clans and tribes in Dianchi area were dominated by Yi people, belonging to the frontier strong language family. Some of them crossed the Jinsha River from Vietnam (now western Sichuan) and went south to Dianchi Lake to join the local Dai and Dai clans such as Pu and Liao. The Shang dynasty followed the Xia system, and the Zhou dynasty took harmony as the beam. During the Warring States Period, in the 3rd century BC (298-277 BC), Zhuang Huan, a general of Chu, led his troops into Dianchi Lake, formed an alliance with the local Hui tribes, and established a "Dian Kingdom" dominated by Hui people, calling himself "Dian King".
Before 22 1, China was unified by the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the ethnic minorities in the southwest frontier were called "Southwest Yi". Qin established the autocratic centralization of authority, promoted the county system throughout the country, and began to develop the southwest region. Set up counties in Yelang, Yunnan and Du Qiong, and send officials to govern them. BC 109 (the second year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led an army to Yunnan, and successively conquered the Laoru and Mimo tribes in the northeast of Dianchi Lake, and the king of Yunnan was forced to surrender. In the Han Dynasty, Yizhou County was set up with Dianchi Lake as the center, and the county government and Wang Dian were stationed near Jincheng today. 6 17 established the Tang Dynasty and established 92 states in Yunnan. Dianchi Lake area is the main part of 92 states. In 6 18 AD (the first year of Wude in Tang Gaozu), the Tang Dynasty appointed Xian Hongda, the son of cuan clan, as the secretariat, governing the county, and his office was still located in Yining City. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Montessori forces in Erhai area rose and Nanzhao State was established. In 746-747 AD, Montessori Piro Pavilion marched peacefully and conquered the Yi clan. The development of Tuodong City laid the foundation for the development of ancient Kunming. In 937, Dali seized Nanzhao regime, established Dali, unified Yunnan, and established a government on the basis of expanding Dongcheng. The government followed Tuodong City. 1253 (the third year of Yuan Xianzong), the Yuan Army captured Yunnan. 1276 (13th year from Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty), after Saidianchi ruled Yunnan, it was located in Kunming County ruled by Zhongqing Road (hence the name of Kunming), and the administrative center was moved from Dali to Kunming. After the Ming Dynasty marched into Yunnan in 138 1 (the 14th year of Hongwu), it changed the administrative division of "land" in the Yuan Dynasty to government, imitated the organizational system of the mainland, and set up the Yunnan Business Propaganda Department and the General Military Department. Yunnan provincial government, local government and Kunming county government are all located in Kunming. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Kunming City was built with bricks. It is about 9 miles long and nearly 3 feet high. There are six gates and a moat outside the city. Ships can sail on the river. In the Qing Dynasty, the organizational system followed the Ming system, and Kunming was still under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province and Kunming County, and the scale of the city did not exceed the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Duck-Piece War, especially the Sino-French War of 1885 (the 11th year of Guangxu), imperialist forces such as France and Britain quickly invaded Yunnan. 1905 (30th year of Guangxu), Kunming was changed into a commercial port in Qing Dynasty. Yunnan Machinery Bureau, founded in 1884 (the tenth year of Guangxu), became the beginning of Kunming's modern industry. 19 1 1 year, Kunming people held the Double Ninth Uprising after Wuchang Uprising and overthrew the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty. 19 15 raised the national flag for the first time, and formed a national defense army. 1926, the China * * * Yunnan Provincial Working Committee headed by the martyr Wang Desan was established.
1949 65438+February 9, Yunnan was peacefully liberated. 1950 In March, the China People's Liberation Army entered Kunming and set up a martial law committee. According to the original eight districts, the urban area was taken over and cities and districts were established.
