Geography
Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is located in southwestern Guizhou. It spans 210 km east–west and 177 km north–south, covering an area of 16,804 km2 (6,488 sq mi). The prefecture lies within the Pearl River Basin, specifically the Nanpan and Beipan River watersheds.

The terrain is characterized by a westward and northward elevation gradient, with higher elevations in the west and north and lower in the east and south. Most of the prefecture lies between 1,000 and 2,000 meters in elevation. The terrain is rugged and diverse, with significant internal variations, divided into five distinct geomorphic zones: low mountain erosion canyon zone, karst plateau trough zone, karst erosion plateau zone, karst erosion mountain zone, and erosion mountain valley zone. Soils are predominantly acidic to slightly acidic red and yellow soils, typical of the region's karst and mountainous landscape.
