Aleppo, a historic city in northern Syria, is located in Aleppo province near the Turkish border and was once an important trading hub on the ancient Silk Road. This ancient city of more than 8,000 years incorporates the imprints of Arab, Persian, and Roman civilizations, and its magnificent citadel, ancient mosques, and traditional bazaars (such as the Great Market of Aleppo) showcase a rich cultural heritage. As one of the largest cities in Syria, Erek has long been a regional economic and cultural center throughout its history, and despite the damage caused by the conflict in recent years, its unique architectural and human heritage continues to attract the world's attention, and it is now gradually moving towards recovery and reconstruction.
Located in the central and western part of Henan Province, China, the Central Plains is an important birthplace and core area of the Chinese civilization, known as "the middle of China" and "the hinterland of the nine states". The ancient civilizations of Xia, Shang and Zhou were nurtured here, and the ancient capitals of Luoyang, Kaifeng and Anyang were the political, economic and cultural centers of many dynasties, which gave birth to the splendid cultures of Heluo Culture and Yinshang Culture. As an important starting point of the Silk Road, the Central Plains has long been the core zone for the exchange and integration of Chinese civilization. Nowadays, the Central Plains, centered on Zhengzhou, is the core area of the Central Plains City Cluster, carrying the important mission of inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture and promoting the rise of central China, and its profound historical heritage is intertwined with the modernization development.
