Yantan is the narrowest city in the world in Yunnan province, China, with an average width of about 300 m, with some points only 30 m wide.

A notable feature of this city is that many apartment buildings are located along the riverbank, built in the style of stilt houses, with the foundations made of high pillars to prevent flooding when the water rises. According to Darmau.

The centuries-old city of Yanjin lies along both banks of the Nanshi River, amid steep mountains in Yunnan Province, China, so housing prices here are also very high. According to Darmau.

This narrow strip of land sandwiched between the Nam Thi River and high mountains on both sides creates a unique city - home to 450,000 people. According to Darmau.

The wastewater treatment system and water storage are located at the bottom of the valley, lower than the vertical elevation of the road, while the river banks are considered ecological embankments and green belts along the river, according to Darmau.

This is the uniqueness of Yantan, a city that seems to come out of a science fiction movie. According to Darmau.

This strange city is also the inspiration for paintings using AI technology to create very impressive works. According to Darmau.

In fact, most of the settlers here are natives who do not want to move elsewhere despite limited conditions. According to Darmau.
