Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture[a] is an autonomous prefecture in northwestern Yunnan province, China. Covering an area of 23,870 km2 (9,220 sq mi), it is bordered by the Tibet Autonomous Region to the northwest, Sichuan province to the northeast, and other parts of Yunnan province to the southwest and southeast; Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture and Lijiang, respectively. Its capital and largest city is Shangri-La.
Diqing Prefecture is divided into three county-level divisions: Shangri-La, Deqin County, and Weixi Lisu Autonomous County. They were all formerly under the administration of Lijiang (located southeast of this prefecture).[2] Diqing Prefecture was established in 1957 and named by its first governor.[2]
