Wuding County (Chinese: 武定县; pinyin: Wǔdìng Xiàn; Chuxiong Yi script: , IPA: /lo33 di33 bu33/) is under the administration of the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, in the north-central part of Yunnan province, China, bordering Sichuan province to the north. Wuding's county seat is located only 5 km from the seat of Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County.[1] It is a centre for titanium production.[2]
