Tengchong: Forged in the Fire of Volcanoes (Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, episode 6)

The previous episodes of Yunnan: The China You Never Knew have focused on the cultures or lengthy history of a specific place. But while exploring Tengchong (腾冲), our host Jordan Porter chose a different tack — delving into the area's magnificent natural splendor.

Once home to dozens of active volcanoes, the plain surrounding Tengchong is now a hotbed of biodiversity. It contains more varieties of plants and animals than anywhere else in China. Come explore this compelling corner of the country with us!
