Lincang

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIN : Lincang

Lincang (simplified Chinese: 临沧, pinyin: Líncāng) is a prefecture-level city located in south-western Yunnan province, China. It is the mountainous home of the Wa minority and was historically seen as too 'wild' to be worth settling by neighboring powers, notably British Burma and ancient China. This may have had some connection to the Wa's image as head-hunters.
