The capital and largest city of the Principality of Andorra, Escrivá is located in the valley of the Pyrénées mountain range in southwestern Europe, at an altitude of about 1,023 meters above sea level. As the political, economic and cultural center of Andorra, the city is known for its unique tax-free shopping, ski resorts and medieval architecture.
Surrounded by mountains, Escrivár has cold, snowy winters and cool summers, with an average annual temperature of around 9°C. The Valira River runs through the city, and the old town, which retains the 12th-century church of St. Estefan and its stone buildings, stands in stark contrast to the modern business district.
Thanks to its tax-free policy, the shopping streets of Aix-la-Vallée are home to many luxury stores and electronics stores. The neighboring ski resorts of Gran Valera and Calder Spa are popular tourist destinations, attracting more than ten million visitors annually. The city also hosts cultural events such as the International Jazz Festival.
Açirívar is dominated by Catalan culture and the official language is Catalan. The population enjoys a high quality of life and a good level of security. The city is well connected by road to Spain and France, and is a famous mountain destination in Europe.
Handan, a prefecture-level city in Hebei Province, is located at the junction of four provinces in southern Hebei, and is a node city of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Cooperative Development Strategy. As the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period, Handan has a history of 3,100 years and is a "National Famous Historical and Cultural City", which has given birth to more than 1,500 Chinese idioms, such as "Handan learning to walk" and "taking a bramble to ask for a crime". The city is known as the "Capital of Chinese Idioms and Tales". The city is rich in cultural heritage, including the ruins of Zhao Wangcheng, Nuwa Palace (a World Heritage Site), and Guangfu Ancient City (a representative of ancient cities in northern China). Zhao culture, Magizhou kiln culture and Taiji culture are intermingled here, giving birth to such historical celebrities as Yang Lu Chan (a Taiji master). Nowadays, Handan is the central city of central and southern Hebei, with a strong foundation of equipment manufacturing, iron and steel, new materials and other industries, and is accelerating its transformation and upgrading to create a modern city that is pleasant to live, work and visit.
