Mangshi

Mangshi is a county-level city in western Yunnan province, China, and the seat of the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture. It was known as Luxi until 2010, when the State Council approved restoring the older name Mangshi, which comes from a tribal name recorded as early as 1443. The city covers about 2,900.91 square kilometres, most of it mountainous, with two main plains and the Salween River marking its border with Myanmar. Han Chinese, Dai and Jingpo people are the main ethnic groups. Luxi County was set up in 1949 and became a county-level city in 1996. The article gives a 2016 population of 415,700 across the whole city, with about 171,200 living in the city core. Coffee, sugarcane and macadamia nuts are leading crops.
