Overview

Dong Shiqiang is the mayor of Yuxi City. The composer of China's National Anthem, Nie Er was from Yuxi. Many of the residents of Yuxi belong to ethnic minorities. The city was founded in 960 AD, at a time when Yunnan wasn't yet part of China.
   Yuxi is the home of the Hongta cigarette company, which was named after the Red Pagoda which sits atop a nearby hill. The Pagoda was originally white, but was painted red during the cultural revolution. The tobacco is of high quality due to the fact that there's over 2300 hours of sunlight a year in the region, adequte rainfall in the summer, and excellent soil that produces a plethora of other fruits and vegetables. The region has begun producing wine, which could prove to be quite palpable in the next decade or so.
   Yuxi is one of the fastest growing small cities in China. In 2001, the city won an Honor Award in Analysis & Planning by the American Society of Landscape Architects. In 2004 UNIDO held a Workshop on Seed Treatment Technology, one of only two in China.
