context_section_description: Dimaluo is located at an altitude of approximately 1,815 metres (5,955 ft) above sea level. It is bisected by the Dimaluo River which flows directly into the Nujiang River roughly 10 km downstream from Dimaluo village. The village sits in the Dimaluo River Valley and is surrounded by the steep valley walls. The valley's peaks reach a height of around 13,000 feet (4,000 m). The village is bordered by Myanmar's Kachin State to its west, and 12 miles north of the village lies the border with the Tibet Autonomous Region.
  Dimaluo is located in a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb), and, due to its high altitude, never gets very hot in summer. The rainy season is typically from June through September and receives its first snowfall in early November.
