Lincang is one of Yunnan’s key coffee-growing regions. In recent years the city has drawn on its exceptional natural resources to build a new “coffee-plus-tourism” model, letting visitors immerse themselves in coffee culture on the estates and discover a slower kind of rural leisure. By the end of 2025 the city had roughly 290,000 mu (about 19,300 hectares) under coffee, and the industry has become a major engine of its agricultural, cultural and tourism economy.
