It's a bit to the east of the bulang area Man Nuo by about 50 miles. It's not normally referred to because there isn't really much ancient arbor there and the tea isn't that special, comparable to many areas in Banna that we do not normally hear about.

Hekai, Naka and Nannuo are technically Mengsong area teas. Naka is north of Menghai and Jinghong. Nannuo is slightly south, and Hekai farther south than Nannuo, if I recall correctly.
