Puzhehei National Tourist Resort is located in Qiubei county, Wenshan in Southwest China’s Yunnan province, 280 kilometers from Kunming. Covering a total area of 165 square kilometers, it is noted for the world-rare and domestic-unique karst landscape and pastoral scenery. The scenic area gets known for hills, lakes, underground Karst caves and ethnic villages etc. There are altogether 256 tourist sites, 312 isolate hills (peaks), 83 caves, 54 lakes and 40,000 acres of Karst wetlands. There are about 100 karst caves, most with two floors – the upper floor is dry and the lower floor is wet. Puzhehei is regarded as "the unique pastoral land with Karst landforms" and a "beautiful paradise".

Ethnic groups living there are mainly Yi, Zhuang and Miao, all of whom have developed colorful cultures of their own.
