Xiding Farm is very high above sea level, 1700-2000 meters above sea level, which is almost the highest elevation for coffee cultivation in Yunnan. The whole farm covers an area of 26000 mu, 70% of which is covered with forest, cherry blossoms are particularly luxuriant, and the area of coffee cultivation is 5000 mu.
