Anyuan County is located in the south of Jiangxi Province in China, belonging to the city of Ganzhou, and is situated at the confluence of the Wuyi and Nanling mountain ranges. The county has a total area of 2,375 square kilometers and a population of about 350,000, with Hakka culture as the main humanistic feature.
With a forest coverage of over 80%, Anyuan County is home to the National Forest Park, Sanbaishan Mountain, the source of the Dongjiang River, and is known as the "drinking water source of Guangdong and Hong Kong". There are rich geothermal resources in the county, and the hot springs are of excellent quality.
With agriculture as its leading industry, Anyuan is a national demonstration base for the production of pollution-free agricultural products, and is rich in navel oranges, passion fruits and other specialty fruits. In recent years, the ecotourism industry has developed rapidly, and the Sanbaishan Scenic Area has become an important tourist destination in Gannan.
Anyuan County was founded in the 10th year of Datong in Liang Dynasty (544 AD), with a history of nearly 1500 years. It is an important inheritance place of Hakka culture, preserving intangible cultural heritages such as round-house complexes and tea-picking operas, and organizing Hakka Folklore and Culture Festival every year.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
