Kunming is a national historical and cultural city. As early as 30 thousand years ago, human beings lived and multiplied around Dianchi Lake. In 278 BC, Yunnan was founded here. In 765, Nanzhao established Dongcheng, which was the beginning of Kunming's urban construction. At the end of Ming Dynasty, the Li Yong regime of Nanming established its capital in Kunming.
Kunming belongs to the mountainous monsoon climate of the northern subtropical low latitude plateau, with mountainous landform, surrounded by mountains on three sides and Dianchi Lake in the south, with beautiful scenery along the lake. Because it is located in the low latitude plateau, the climate here is "like spring all the year round" and enjoys the reputation of "Spring City".
Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi language, which means "Tianshan Mountain". Its thirteen snow peaks are endless, just like a "dragon" dancing, so it is called "Yulong".
Because its lithology is mainly limestone and basalt, it is black and white, so it is also called "black and white snow mountain". It is the sacred mountain of Naxi nationality. According to legend, Naxi nationality is the embodiment of the protector "Sanduo".

Wild Animals in Yunnan, China is a new book of zoology with both academic and popular science value. Yunnan is called the "animal kingdom". Since ancient times, many researchers have tried to understand it deeply. When Xu Xiake visited Yunnan, he gave a vivid description of some endemic animals.
After the founding of New China, scientists from China, represented by Kunming Institute of Zoology, responded to the call of the state, and in order to find out the background of animal resources, they traveled all over Yunling and Dianshui, even sacrificed their lives and collected a large number of specimens and materials.
Finally, the formation process of the basic features of Yunnan animal kingdom is described systematically and scientifically for the first time. The hardships and heroism can only be realized by personal experience.
