Baoshan Gaoli Gongshan Coffee Farm
Gaoligong International Fine Coffee Cultural Park is located in the southwest part of Longyang District, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, within the Lujiangba Ecotourism Area of the Gaoligong Mountains. It serves as a crucial node on Yunnan’s western tourist route. The area where the park is situated has a long history of cultivating Baoshan Small-grain Coffee, characterized by its unique geographical and climatic environment, making it one of the world’s premium coffee regions. In December 2010, “Baoshan Small-grain Coffee” received national geographical indication product protection.
The Gaoligong International Fine Coffee Cultural Park was developed in accordance with the spirit of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and Government’s directives from the Baoshan on-site meeting, as well as the requirements set forth by the Baoshan Municipal Party Committee and Government and Longyang District Committee and Government to revitalize the entire small-grain coffee industry chain. With an investment of 220 million yuan, the park underwent extensive upgrades to transform the original Nanhut Bai Longtan Scenic Area to A-grade standards. The renovation focused on reshaping the coffee industry, adding new attractions related to coffee production, such as coffee planting areas, coffee culture exhibitions, a waterside coffee paradise, ethnic water-splashing square, coffee experience hall, guesthouses, coffee expert building, coffee tribe, coffee live broadcasting center, Qing memory, tropical fruit luxury camp, Bai Longtan fish observation pond, and coffee cultural ethnic village. This effort aimed to highlight ethnic customs, emphasize specialty industries, and integrate agricultural, cultural, natural, and coffee cultural resources into a cool and livable summer resort and fragrant coffee tourism area.
For coffee enthusiasts, visiting the “First Village of Chinese Coffee” is a must. Located within the global coffee planting belt stretching from latitude 25°N to 30°S on the world map, this belt includes coffee origin Ethiopia, the largest coffee-producing country Brazil, renowned for medium-grain coffee Vietnam, and famous estates like Jade Manor in Vietnam, Blue Mountain in Jamaica, Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia, and Mocha in Yemen.
Baoshan is situated at the northern end of this coffee planting belt. It is bordered by the Gaoligong Mountains, a repository of world species genetics, to the west, and the international river, Lancang Jiang, to the east. The planting area ranges in altitude from 60 to 180 meters, with an average annual temperature of 21.3°C, rainfall of 700-1000 mm, frost-free throughout the year, and a day-night temperature difference of 16°C. Combined with the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Gaoligong Mountains, this environment produces Baoshan Small-grain Coffee known for its unique flavor profile—strong yet not bitter, fragrant yet not intense, with a slight acidity—earning it international acclaim.
Amidst the rugged terrain of the Gaoligong Mountains, amidst the fresh breeze of the wild coffee gardens, tasting the purest coffee flavor, one can witness the life cycle of a coffee bean “from seed to cup.”
