Xīsǎ

Xisa lies among the limestone hills and hollows of southeastern Yunnan. The wider district belonged to the Bazhai chieftaincy under the Ming, before passing into Qing administration. In the Kangxi reign, a market from the older settlement of Xisa was moved to nearby Dongbuna, where the new market street also took the name Xisa. The movement of the market left two places bearing the name, joined by the roads through the broken karst country.
