TheAilao Mountains[a]are located inYunnan,China.[2]They extend northward from theYun range,and are located at the intersection of theYunnan-Guizhou Plateau,the Tibetan Plateau,andthe Hengduan Mountains.[3]TheAilao Mountain Nature Reserve,located in the Ailao Mountains, is the best-preserved example of subtropical evergreen broad-leafed forest extant in China.[4]
It is also the watershed of the Bian gian g River and theAmo River,and it is situated betweenChuxiong CityandYuxi Cityto the east andPu'er Cityto the west. It is mainly composed of sand shale, limestone, and variousmetamorphic rocks.The Ailao Mountains trend northwest-southeast, from Chuxiong City in the north, toLuchun Countyin the south, coming to a total length of about 500 kilometers. The main peak is named Ailao Mountain, and is located in the west ofXinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County,with an altitude of 3,166 meters.
In May 1988, China established the Ailao Mountain National Nature Reserve in the Xujiaba area of the northern section of the Ailao Mountain Range, which is home to nearly 1,500 species of plants and more than 800 species of wild animals.[5]
In November 2021, four geological surveyors went missing in the Ailao Mountains and died from hypothermia-inducedcardiogenic shock.[6]
