Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is located in the south of the Guizhou Province, neighboring Anshun and Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the west, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in the east. The capital city of the province, Guiyang only has a shared boundary on its north side. The prefecture also shares a boundary with Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the south.
From the Shang Dynasty (16th - 11th century BC) to the Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-221BC), several kingdoms established by local ethnic groups shared the prefecture. During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it partly belonged to Guiyang. Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture was authorized in 1956 with Duyun as its capital.
