Fùmín

Fumin lies northwest of Kunming, in a valley of the Tanglang River. The Yuan established the county in 1275 at a settlement now remembered as the old county town. During the Ming its seat moved several times: in 1574 it was placed on the river's northern bank, but flooding forced a move toward Tuzhu Peak eight years later. The new site lacked convenient drinking water, and in 1614 the officials returned to the riverside and built an earthen wall around the town, naming it Yongding.
