Yanjin County (simplified Chinese: 盐津县; traditional Chinese: 鹽津縣; pinyin: Yánjīn Xiàn) is located in the northeast of Yunnan Province, China, bordering Sichuan Province to the north and east. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Zhaotong.
Situated on the banks of the narrow Heng River[1][a] valley, a tributary of the Yangtze, the town of Yanjing, Yanjin's county seat, has been referred to as the "World's Narrowest City."[2][3] The buildings of the city are situated on tall pillars, which is a preemptive measure toward water-level rise during periods of heavy flooding.[4] Videos of the city routinely go viral because of its uniqueness and the surrounding natural environment, attracting much attention to the city.[4]
Since at least the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BCE), the area of Yanjin was home to the Bo people.[5]
During a Duanwu Festival celebration in the late 1800s or early 1900s at Yanjin, a bridge that spanned the Heng River collapsed and four hundred people were drowned.[6] This led to the bridge being rebuilt with walls and a roof.[6] The county was named after the city of Yanjin when it was formed in 1917.[4]
In July 2006, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake left 22 dead, 106 injured and more than 6,000 homes demolished.[7]
In 2021, management practices to institute an urban rain flood ecosystem were underway in Yanjin through use of the sponge city approach to prepare for high flooding.[8]
Yanjin County has 6 towns and 4 townships.[11]
