The county seat is the town of Lijiang (澧江镇), while the county itself is under the administration of Yuxi City.

Climate
Due to its location at the bottom of a deep mountainous river valley, Yuanjiang lies at the junction of three different climate types, namely the tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) and, uniquely for China, the hot subtype of a semi-arid climate (Köppen Bsh). There are two main seasons: a dry season lasting from late November to early April, with mostly warm and dry weather (and the occasional cold snap) and the wet season covering May through September. The coolest months are December and January, which each average 18.1 °C (64.6 °F), and the hottest is June, at 29.7 °C (85.5 °F).
