For the tea with the same name as the city, see
Pu'er tea.
Pu'er is a
prefecture-level city in southern
Yunnan Province,
China. The name Pu'er dates back to 1729, but was changed to
Simao in 1950 after the Communist Revolution. In 2007, the original name of Pu'er was restored. This change had an effect on the size of the official
Pu'er tea production area, a major regional product. The urban administrative center of Pu'er is
Simao District, which is also the former name of the prefecture-level city itself. A major downturn in the price of tea in 2007 caused severe economic distress in the area.
[4] The price of Pu'er has since recovered and Pu'er tea still contributes much to the income of the area.
Geography and climate[edit]
Pu'er is located in southern/southwestern Yunnan, on the lower reaches of the
Mekong (known in Chinese as the Lancang), with the bordering prefectures being
Yuxi to the northeast,
Honghe to the east,
Xishuangbanna to the south,
Lincang to the northwest, and
Dali and
Chuxiong. It also shares borders with
Vietnam (
Điện Biên Province),
Laos (
Phongsaly Province), and
Burma (
Shan State), being the only prefecture in Yunnan to border all three countries. As with much of the province, mountainous terrain dominates its administrative area, covering 98.3%. Elevations range from 376 to 3,306 metres (1,234 to 10,846 ft).

Located at an altitude of above 1,300 m (4,300 ft) and within a degree south of the
Tropic of Cancer, Pu'er, as with much of southern Yunnan, has a warm
humid subtropical climate (
Köppen Cwa), with muddled distinction between the seasons and daytime temperatures remaining warm year-round. Highs peak in April and May before the core of the rainy season and reach a minimum in December; however, the warmest and coolest months are June and January, respectively at 22.7 °C (72.9 °F) and 13.4 °C (56.1 °F); the annual mean is 18.93 °C (66.1 °F). June through September accounts for nearly 70% of the annual rainfall of 1,487.4 mm (59 in) and during this time, some rainfall occurs on most days, pushing
relative humidity above 80% and there is a marked reduction in sunshine. With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 24% in July to 69% in February, the city receives 2,038 hours of bright sunshine annually.
