Yuanjiang Hani, Yi and Dai Autonomous County (; Hani: Lalsa Haqniqssaq Haqhholssaq Aqcaoqssaq Ziiqziifxeif) is a county of south-central Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. The county seat is the town of Lijiang (Chinese: 澧江镇), while the county itself is under the administration of Yuxi City. It derives its name from the Red River (Asia),[2] which is known as the Yuan River (Chinese: 元江) in Yunnan, and is an important provincial crossroads for access to Southeast Asia.
Yuanjiang Hani, Yi and Dai Autonomous County has 3 subdistricts, 2 towns and 5 townships.[3]

Due to its location at the bottom of a deep mountainous river valley, Yuanjiang lies at the junction of two different climate types, namely the tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) and, uniquely for China, the hot subtype of a semi-arid climate (Köppen Bsh). There are two main seasons: a dry season lasting from late November to early April, with mostly warm and dry weather (and the occasional cold snap) and the wet season covering May through September. The coolest month is December, which averages 18.7°C, and the hottest is June, at 30.2°C.
