Pu'er is a prefecture-level city in southern Yunnan Province, China. Pu'er City governs 9 counties, 1 district, 103 townships (towns), and a total population of 2.65 million. The urban administrative center of Pu'er is Simao District, which is also the former name of the prefecture-level city itself. A major downturn in the price of tea in 2007 caused severe economic distress in the area. Tea prices have since recovered, and Pu'er tea, a type of dark tea, still contributes much to the income of the area. By the end of 2024, the resident population of the city will be 2.337 million. It is the only prefecture in Yunnan to border Vietnam, Laos, and Burma. Ethnic minorities account for the majority of its population.
