I visited the world’s narrowest city: 200,000 people live here

Hello everyone! Today, I visited Yanjin County in Yunnan, China. This county, nestled along the river, borders Sichuan and is a key passageway from Yunnan to Sichuan. Every day, a train departs from here to Sichuan, providing convenient transportation for local villagers and students who travel for work or school. The entire town is built along the riverbanks, forming a narrow strip that almost appears as a straight line from a distance. Due to the limited geographical space, most buildings here are stilt houses (吊脚楼), earning Yanjin the nickname of “the narrowest county.“ 00:00 Preview 00:36 Riverside Walk: Exploring the Town’s Scenic Paths 04:26 Enchanting Stilt House Architecture: Unique Structures of Yanjin 06:50 The Town’s Only Square: A Community Gathering Spot 09:47 Crossing the Suspension Bridge: A Local Landmark 14:43 Main Street: The Heart of Yanjin’s Daily Life 20:43 Scenic Viewing Bridge: Best Spot for Stunning Views 25:33 Train Station: Gateway to Sichuan 27:02 Train Ride Departure: Experiencing the Journey to Sichuan
