Why is Zhaotong so cold?

The main reason for the cold weather in Zhaotong is its geographical location, which is located at the junction of Yunling Plateau and Sichuan Basin. Affected by the south branch trough of the plateau vortex and strong cold air, the weather is cold.

Zhaotong has a remarkable geographical location and a particularly complex terrain, which is easily affected by strong cold air all the year round, with a large temperature difference.
