The "Golden Triangle" is located in Southeast Asia, with an average elevation of 1500-3000m, fertile land and warm and humid climate. Long-term sunshine in subtropical areas makes there enough sunshine to promote the growth of various plants. The change of monsoon belt in Southeast Asia makes it a dry and wet season. When the summer rainfall is abundant, the southwest monsoon brings a lot of hot and humid water from the sea to form a wet season, and the eastern season is influenced by the dry and cold monsoon belt in the north to form a dry season. This periodic change regulates the rhythm of local creatures. The climate with long sunshine, low latitude and high humidity in Southeast Asia is very conducive to the growth and reproduction of animals and plants, which in turn forms a unique local rainforest climate and causes biodiversity here. People living here are treated differently by nature, and life in most areas is relatively rich and self-sufficient; However, the ups and downs of the mountain form a three-dimensional climate, and the people at the foot of the mountain are extremely hot. At that time, people at the top of the mountain may have to surround the fireplace to keep out the cold. Relatively speaking, the natural conditions in high-altitude areas are relatively poor, and people's lives are more difficult.

"Golden Triangle" area: It includes Shan State and Kachin State in the north of Myanmar, Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, Langnanta Province, phongsaly province Province and Udomsai Province in the north of Chiang Mai and Laos, Luang Prabang Province in the west and some neighboring areas in India, covering an area of about 200,000 square kilometers. In 2002, the opium production in the "Golden Triangle" was about 800 tons, accounting for 30% of the world's drug production. Due to the crackdown by governments, the drug production in the "Golden Triangle" is declining.
By June, 2004, China had successfully helped farmers in the "Golden Triangle" area to eradicate more than 620,000 mu of opium poppy and replant various agricultural cash crops such as tea, sugarcane and grain. Nowadays, in this area, more and more farmers are accepting and enjoying this brand-new concept-"eradicate poppy, plant rice, sugarcane and rubber, and you can live a better life".
