Yichun is the central city of Western Yunnan. It has natural landscapes such as jade-green mountains, crystal-clear water and cascading waterfalls. Such beautiful scenery combined with Yichun's history and culture of more than a millennia has made this an excellent city. Yichun is also the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism's “Rules of Purity for the Chan Monastery.” There are many ancient temples and historical sites here, all of which play a pivotal role in the history of Chinese Buddhism.
