Ancient copper trade routes in Yunnan Province

Once caravan routes, and copper merchants from throughout China converged in remote but bustling Nagu Town in Yunnan Province near misted mountains of rich copper mines.
Nagu means "black earth" in the language of the Yi ethnic group, indicating the richness of the Dongchuan (today's Huize County) mines and the town itself that stands at more than 1,900 meters.
Today it is called Baiwu Village, or White Fog Village, because the village is always shrouded in mist and fog in the early morning.
