Overview[edit]
Due to the erratic elevation, ranging from 820 metres (the majority of the town) to 1,698 metres in Beiyin Mountain, the layout is very unorganized, with most of the residents living in the flat part of the town. The annual average temperature is 19.6 °C (67.3 °F), the sunshine hours 1,695, and rainfall 290 mm (11 in). The entire town has fertile soil and abundant rainfall, giving it a humid subtropical climate (CFA). Thanks to its climate, it is one of the main grain-producing areas of its county. Its land is suitable for planting subtropical crops such as corn, sugar cane, tea, coffee, and fruits. It surrounds three villages, Zhengdong Village, Mantan, Shuishan and 44 other smaller groups of communities. Jiangcheng Farm is the main farm of the town and the entire county, further emphasizing its agricultural importance. It is located on the Laos Border. Its water, electrical and access rate are respectively: 71%, 73.7% and 97.3%.
