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.
Kolonga, Tonga is a major town in the Pacific island nation of Tonga, located on the northeast coast of Tongatapu, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Nukuʻalofa. As Tonga's cultural and historical town, Kolonga is known for its well-preserved traditional villages, royal relics and handicrafts, and is one of the birthplaces of Tonga's "megalithic culture", with centuries-old churches and ancient stone tombs. The local economy is based on fishing, agriculture (e.g. coconut and banana cultivation) and tourism, and most of the inhabitants are engaged in traditional weaving and wood carving, continuing the unique Polynesian culture. Although Kolonga is not the administrative capital, it is an important center of Tonga's religious and folklore activities, attracting many tourists every year to experience the original Tongan life, and is known as "Tonga's cultural treasure".
