Midu county has long been a transportation hub, connecting the roads from Dali towards Yunnan's south. On the main plain the population is largely Han, but the pretty Mizhi valley is home to a vibrant Bai population, while the more mountainous south and west is Yi.
The main reason to visit is on occasion of the Mizhi Huadeng Festival.
