Pu'er lies in southern Yunnan in forested mountain country, and gives its name to the fermented tea produced across the region. The town is a modest prefecture centre, and the tea mountains around it are the reason to come.
The ancient tea forests and the villages that tend them are the regional distinction, with some tea trees centuries old, and several producing areas receive visitors. The town's tea markets are where the trade happens, and the region's Hani, Yi and Dai communities give it considerable cultural variety.
Buses and taxis cover the town, and reaching the tea mountains requires a hired car on winding roads. The new railway through Yunnan toward Laos has made access considerably easier.
Spring is the main picking season and the most interesting time in the tea areas. The summer rains make mountain roads difficult, and winters are mild at this latitude.
China uses the CNY, calling code +86.
China uses the renminbi, quoted in yuan, and Mandarin is standard with several minority languages spoken. Mobile payment is near-universal, so arranging a working method in advance matters.
