Zuǒsuǒ

Zuosuo lies on the eastern shore of Lake Lugu, a high lake enclosed by mountains on the Sichuan-Yunnan frontier. Its shores and islands belonged to a country of villages and hereditary chiefs. In 1710 the Qing recognised La Shiying as a local chief at Zuosuo, granting him the symbols of office. His seat stood at Duoshe stockade, near the lake, under the wider administration of Yanyuan.
